A high-quality, professional-grade audio solution, the d:dicate 4018ES Supercardioid Microphone with Modular Active Side Cable, 20Hz to 20kHz, is a standout product from the renowned DPA d:dicate Recording Microphones series. This ultra-compact microphone, measuring a mere 3.5 cm in length, is perfect for discreet or distant miking applications, including desktop or hanging use.
The 4018ES microphone boasts a highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern, known for its smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. This supercardioid shape is frequency independent, ensuring a consistent sound color around the microphone. Unlike most supercardioids, the 4018ES minimizes the usual rear lobe, resulting in a more isolated sound without sudden frequency-dependent peaks and dips.
Designed with versatility in mind, this microphone is ideal for a wide array of long-distance miking applications in the broadcast, ENG, and film industries. Whether it's capturing dialogue, conducting interviews, or miking a table or podium, the 4018ES delivers superior performance. Its modular 4018 capsule offers exceptional flexibility through the use of modular accessories.
The 4018ES is also perfectly suited for orchestra recording situations as a spot or hanging mic, thanks to the included SM4000-C suspension mount. This feature allows the microphone to be hung from the ceiling, enabling precision spot miking of orchestra sections or creating an ambient atmosphere.
Moreover, the 4018ES microphone offers the convenience of easy transformation into a new configuration at any time, without the need for tools. This is achieved by combining it with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp, further enhancing its flexibility and adaptability to various recording situations.
In summary, the d:dicate 4018ES Supercardioid Microphone with Modular Active Side Cable, 20Hz to 20kHz, is a reliable, durable, and innovative audio recording solution, designed to meet the demanding needs of professionals in the audio industry.
