About DPA Microphones d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Mic with 30cm Podium Boom

Make your live performances and speeches stand out with the d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Microphone, featuring a 30cm podium boom for precise placement and optimal sound capture. This high-quality microphone is engineered with a supercardioid capsule that ensures a highly directional pickup pattern, delivering a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. The supercardioid shape is meticulously designed to be frequency independent, which guarantees consistent sound color throughout the entire range of the microphone.

The d:dicate 4018F is renowned for its ability to isolate the speaker's voice with unparalleled clarity. Its unique design minimizes the rear lobe effect commonly associated with supercardioid microphones, resulting in a more focused audio capture without the interference of frequency-dependent peaks and dips. This makes the 4018F an exceptional choice for professional settings where every nuance of speech is critical.

Crafted for versatility, the MMC4018 supercardioid capsule can be paired with podium booms of various lengths - 15, 30, or 45 cm (6, 12, or 18 in) - to suit different speaking environments. For those requiring longer reach, such as floor stands that demand visual elegance, the 75 or 120 cm (30 or 48 in) booms are available, transforming the 4018F into a high-quality stage voice microphone complete with dedicated accessories.

The d:dicate 4018F excels in delivering natural voice reproduction, so much so that no equalization is necessary to remove microphone artifacts. With this microphone, voice intelligibility is pristine right from the source, making it a reliable and professional choice for capturing the subtleties of spoken word. Whether it's for concerts, conferences, or any event where audio quality cannot be compromised, the d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Microphone with its 30cm podium boom offers a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz, ensuring every detail is conveyed with clarity and precision.
