About DPA Microphones d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Mic with 15cm Podium Boom

Become a master of live performances and speeches with the d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Microphone. This high-quality, durable microphone is designed with a modular nature, allowing the MMC4018 supercardioid capsule to be paired with podium booms of varying lengths - 15, 30, or 45 cm (6, 12, or 18 in). For those seeking visual elegance in floor stands, longer booms of 75 or 120 cm (30 or 48 in) can be utilized, transforming this versatile microphone into a superior stage voice mic when combined with its dedicated accessories.

The d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Microphone boasts a highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern, ensuring a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. Unlike most supercardioids, the 4018F minimizes the typical rear lobe, resulting in a more isolated sound without sudden frequency-dependent peaks and dips. This feature enhances the microphone's reliability, making it a professional choice for capturing sound in a specific direction while reducing background noise.

What sets the d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Microphone apart is its frequency-independent supercardioid shape, which guarantees an identical sound color around the microphone. This means that the voice's natural response is more accurately captured, making it the ideal choice for speeches where voice recognition is paramount. With the 4018F, there's no need for equalization to remove microphone artifacts - the voice intelligibility is straight out of the mic, making it a top choice for those seeking to capture every detail of a performance.
