D:Facto 4018V Supercardioid Premium Vocal Microphone

Superbly Linear in Frequency and Phase, Both On- And Off-Axis - The DPA FA4018VDPAB d:facto II Supercardioid Vocal Microphone

d:facto™ series allows you to easily switch out both the capsule and the adapter to suit your needs. The d:facto™ Supercardioid Capsule features an isolation-optimized supercardioid polar pattern, designed specifically to enhance the human vocal range. It combines the directional benefits of both cardioid and supercardioid patterns, ensuring complete focus on the sound source with minimal bleed from the rear. This capsule delivers high separation and true sound clarity on stage, making it ideal for both PA amplification and recording. Its frequency response and phase are linear, both on- and off-axis, and the capsule can be replaced with any other d:facto ™ capsule if needed.
