About DPA Microphones d:dicate 4018FGS Supercardioid Microphone with Single 120cm Boom

An exceptional addition to the modular d:dicate series, the d:dicate 4018FGS Supercardioid Microphone is a comprehensive floor stand solution designed for high-quality stage voice or instrument amplification. This microphone system features a single 120cm boom and a robust floor stand, making it an ideal choice for professional audio recording in TV studios, OB-vans, theaters, and concert halls.

The floor stand boasts an elegant and exclusive design, finished with a black non-reflective surface specifically engineered to withstand the occasional rigors of on-stage and on-set use. The integrated shock mounting solution, provided by the thread screw that holds the Stand Extension and Active Boom Pole, ensures stability and prevents unwanted swinging. This innovative design allows for a long stage microphone boom pole that rapidly stabilizes itself after positioning, offering unparalleled ease of use.

At the heart of this system is the d:dicate 4018 Capsule. Known for its highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern, it delivers a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. The supercardioid shape is frequency independent, ensuring a consistent sound color around the microphone. Unlike most supercardioids, the 4018FGS minimizes the usual rear lobe, providing superior isolation without sudden frequency-dependent peaks and dips.

When it comes to capturing speech, the d:dicate 4018FGS Supercardioid Microphone stands out for its natural response. Recognizing that the voice is the most identifiable sound source, this microphone requires no equalization to remove artifacts. With the 4018FGS, voice intelligibility is delivered straight out of the mic, making it an excellent choice for professionals seeking superior audio quality.

DPA Microphones d:dicate 4018FGS Supercardioid Microphone with Single 120cm Boom Features

  • Low noise and natural voice
  • Highly directional for high isolation
  • Uniform, frequency independent directionality
  • Exclusive, elegant design
  • Integrated shock-mounting in floor base
  • Rapidly stabilizing microphone boom pole
