Versatile vocal microphone with isolation-optimized supercardioid pattern.
The DPA d:facto 4018 vocal microphone is extremely linear, and was engineered specifically for audio engineers who prefer setting their own unique impression on the final sound. The 4018 mic offers natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and SPL handling up to 160 dB. This vocal microphone also features an isolation-optimized supercardioid polar pattern. This directional characteristic offers the best of both cardioid and supercardioid patterns. This handheld condenser mic can handle loud vocals with a three-step pop-protection grid and best-in-class low handling noise.
