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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eLinear or With a High-End Boost?\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eThere are two versions available. The d:facto Linear Vocal Microphone (4018VL) is extremely linear. It was engineered specifically for audio engineers who prefer setting their own unique impression on the final sound. The d:facto Vocal Microphone (4018V) is linear but with a high-end boost (3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz). The 4018V is often chosen because it ‘cuts through’ on a broadcasting set, where the content typically ends up transmitted to built-in television speakers with limited audio quality. Both versions offer natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and SPL handling up to 160 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBesides the linearity \/ boost, these mics are identical. Both feature an isolation-optimized supercardioid polar pattern. This directional characteristic offers the best of two worlds – from cardioid and supercardioid patterns. These handheld condenser mics can handle loud vocals with three-step pop-protection grid and best-in-class low handling noise. They also offer excellent sonic reproduction with all the detail and balanced linear phase and frequency response users have grown to trust from DPA Microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWired or Wireless? - Musicians Choose\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cp\u003eUsers 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 their favorite wireless system. If users decide to go wireless, they can just switch to an adapter for wireless at a quarter of the cost of a new microphone. As circumstances change, users can just switch their adapter, instead of incurring the cost of a completely new microphone. When users make the switch, they won't hear any loss or change in sound quality.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe 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 is one of a kind in the industry. It protects the investment in fantastic sound for years to come.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIf users prefer to run via a wired system, all of these mics are available with a state-of-the-art d:facto Handle, ending with an XLR adapter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h4\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDirectional Pattern: Supercardioid\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePrinciple of Operation: Pressure gradient\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCartridge Type: Pre-polarized condenser\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFrequency Response: 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEffective Frequency Range ±2 dB, at 12 cm (4.7 in): 40 Hz - 16 kHz with 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSensitivity, Nominal, ±2 dB at 1 kHz: 5 mV\/Pa; -46 dB re. 1 V\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSensitivity, Nominal, ±2 dB at 1 kHz with Adapter for Wireless: 2 mV\/Pa; -54 dB re. 1 V\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eEquivalent Noise Level, A-Weighted: Typ. 19 dB(A) re. 20 µPa (max. 21 dB(A))\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDistortion, THD \u0026lt; 1%: 136 dB SPL RMS, 139 dB SPL peak\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eDynamic Range: Typ. 120 dB\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eMax.
