Handheld condenser mic optimized for live performance.
Like traditional supercardioid mics, the d:facto Series enjoys high side- and rear rejection with a minimum of 9 dB attenuation to the sides. Yet it is not bound by the less desirable aspects of the supercardioid like the uncontrolled and nonlinear rear lobes, which can create feedback from stage wedges, because there is a sudden high frequency peak at the backside of the mic.
The d:facto Series has a wider acceptance angle at the front of the mic than most supercardioids. The acceptance angle is identical to a first-order cardioid at ±60 degrees off-center, resulting in the same work field as a cardioid — just with extremely high and uniform side and rear damping.
Linear or with a high-end boost?
The d:facto Linear Vocal Microphone is extremely linear. It was engineered specifically for audio engineers who prefer setting their own unique impression on the final sound. The 4018VL features an isolation-optimized supercardioid polar pattern. This directional characteristic offers the best of two worlds—from cardioid and supercardioid patterns. It can also handle loud vocals with three-step pop-protection grid and best-in-class low handling noise. It also offers excellent sonic reproduction with all the detail and balanced linear phase and frequency response users have grown to trust from DPA Microphones.
Wired or Wireless? You Choose.
You can use the d:facto Vocal Microphone with a sleek, state-of-the-art d:facto Handle for a wired solution or choose to use a d:facto Capsule together with your favorite wireless system. If you decide to go wireless, you can just switch to an adapter for wireless at a quarter of the cost of a new microphone. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter, instead of incurring the cost of a completely new microphone. When you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or change in sound quality.
The d:facto Series of handheld condenser microphones works with leading wireless mic solutions, such as Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Lectrosonics and Line6. DPA Microphones’ ingenious adapter system protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come. If you prefer to run via a wired system, all of DPA mics are available with a state-of-the-art d:facto Handle, ending with an XLR adapter.
