About DPA Microphones MMC4018

Just when you thought studio recording excellence couldn't get any better, the DPA d:dicate MMC4018 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule emerges as a paragon of precision audio capture. As an integral component of the esteemed DPA d:dicate Recording Microphones series, the MMC4018 is engineered for professionals who demand the utmost in sound clarity and detail.

The MMC4018 boasts a highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern, renowned for its ability to hone in on the sound source while maintaining exceptional isolation from other on-stage sounds. This precision is further enhanced by its smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response, ensuring that sound captured from the sides and rear maintains a natural and uncolored quality.

What sets the MMC4018 apart is its frequency-independent supercardioid shape, which guarantees consistent sound coloration throughout the entire pickup area. This meticulous design effectively minimizes the rear lobe typically associated with supercardioid microphones, thus reducing the susceptibility to feedback and unwanted noise, and ensuring a cleaner, more focused audio capture.
