About DPA Microphones d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Mic with 45cm Podium Boom

Why settle for less when you can have the best The d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Microphone, with its 45cm podium boom, is a high-quality, durable, and professional audio equipment designed to deliver superior sound quality from 20Hz to 20kHz. This versatile and reliable microphone is a product of DPA Microphones, a brand renowned for its commitment to excellence in the audio industry.

The modular design of the MMC4018 supercardioid capsule allows it 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, the 4018F can be coupled with longer booms of 75 or 120 cm (30 or 48 in), transforming it into a top-tier stage voice microphone when used with its dedicated accessories.

The d:dicate 4018F stands out with its highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern, which ensures a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. This supercardioid shape is frequency-independent, guaranteeing a consistent sound color around the microphone. Unlike most supercardioids, the 4018F minimizes the usual rear lobe, resulting in a more isolated sound without sudden frequency-dependent peaks and dips.

When it comes to speech, the voice is paramount, and no sound source is as recognizable as that. The DPA 4018F outperforms other microphones with its natural response to speech. There's no need for equalization to remove microphone artifacts; with the 4018F, voice intelligibility is delivered straight out of the mic. Experience the difference with the d:dicate 4018F Supercardioid Podium Microphone - where quality meets performance.
