Let the d:facto 4018VL Linear Supercardioid Microphone with WI2 Wireless Adapter elevate your live performances and broadcast productions to professional studio quality. This premium microphone from the renowned d:facto series is engineered to deliver an extraordinarily natural sound, capturing the full range and nuances of vocal performances with exceptional clarity and detail.

The d:facto 4018VL stands out with its perfectly uniform supercardioid directionality, offering high separation and extreme sound pressure level (SPL) handling up to 160 dB. This ensures that your voice cuts through the mix, whether on a live stage or in a broadcasting studio, without compromising on sound quality. The microphone's low handling noise and sleek black design add to its professional appeal, making it a visually and sonically pleasing choice for any performer or audio engineer.

The d:facto series is celebrated for its modular design, allowing for easy switching of the microphone capsule and adapter. This flexibility makes the d:facto 4018VL one of the most versatile vocal microphones on the market, compatible with most professional wireless systems through its innovative adapter system. The WI2 Wireless Adapter included with this microphone is specifically designed for use with Wisycom systems, ensuring seamless integration for wireless performances.

Both the d:facto 4018VL Linear Vocal Microphone and its counterpart, the d:facto 4018V with a high-end boost, share the same isolation-optimized supercardioid polar pattern. This unique characteristic combines the best features of cardioid and supercardioid patterns, offering a wide acceptance angle at the front and exceptional side and rear rejection. The result is a focused pickup pattern that minimizes feedback and bleed from other sound sources on stage.

The d:facto 4018VL is particularly suited for audio professionals who prefer a linear response for a pure, uncolored sound, allowing them to tailor the final audio output to their specific preferences. Its three-step pop-protection grid ensures that plosives are effectively mitigated, preserving the integrity of the vocal performance.

Understanding supercardioid microphones is key to appreciating the d:facto 4018VL's capabilities. These microphones are designed to be highly directional, with a narrow angle of sensitivity that excels in isolating the sound source. This makes them ideal for live stage use, where capturing the direct sound of an instrument or voice is crucial amidst a cacophony of background noise.

The d:facto 4018VL also addresses the common challenges associated with supercardioid microphones, such as the proximity effect and sensitivity to wind and pop noises. By employing DPA's advanced capsule technology, the microphone maintains a balanced linear phase and frequency response, ensuring that off-axis sounds are not colored but simply reduced in sensitivity.

For those looking to go wireless, the d:facto 4018VL's adapter system allows for a cost-effective transition to wireless performance without any loss or change in sound quality. Compatible with leading wireless solutions from brands like Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Lectrosonics, and Line6, this microphone is a future-proof investment that adapts to your evolving needs.

In summary, the d:facto 4018VL Linear Supercardioid Microphone with WI2 Wireless Adapter is the ultimate choice for professionals seeking impeccable vocal reproduction, flexibility, and durability in a live performance or broadcast environment.
