DPA Microphones 4018VL-B-B01 Product Overview

Just like the d:facto Vocal Microphone, which has a high-end boost, it captures electrifying performances and accurately replicates a singer's voice transparently, consistently and thrillingly. The only difference is the removal of the high-end boost. The mic is optimized for use in sound reinforcement as well as recording applications. It offers natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and SPL handling up to 160 dB.

The phantom-powered DPA handle has a sleek look and state-of-the-art electronic design. And, 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. The modular nature of the d:facto series allows you to switch both the capsule as well as the adapter.

The d:facto Supercardioid Capsule features an isolation-optimized supercardioid polar pattern. It is specifically designed to enhance the human vocal range. It uses directional characteristic from the best of two worlds - both cardioid and supercardioid patterns. The supercardioid front lobe ensures complete focus on the sound source, while the back lobe, which is smaller than on a normal supercardioid, ensures there is minimum bleed. The capsule's directional pattern and definition gives high separation and true sound clarity onstage making it ideal for PA amplification and recording. Frequency response and phase, both on- and off-axis, are linear.

The mic also features a robust three-stage pop protection grid built into the microphone that removes unwanted noise. Although this version of the d:facto Vocal Microphone comes with a d:facto Handle for a wired solution, the d:facto Vocal Microphone is also the perfect choice to use 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. The modular nature of the d:facto series allows you to switch both the capsule as well as the adapter.

Flexible adapter system
The adapters for wireless systems give you flexible, simple and affordable possibilities. You are no longer bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter, instead of incurring the cost of a whole new microphone. And when you make the switch, you won't hear any loss or change in sound quality. The d:facto series of handheld microphones work with leading wireless mic solutions, such as Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Lectrosonics and Line6. DPA Microphones' ingenious adapter system is one of a kind in the industry. It protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
