DPA d:facto™ 4018V Softboost Supercardioid Mic, SL1 Adapter (Shure/Sony/Lectrosonics/Line6), Black

The d:facto™ series brings true studio sound to the live stage and broadcasting studio. This version has a pre-programmed high-end boost has a 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz. The modular nature of the d:facto™ series allows you to switch the capsule as well as the adapter, making it the most flexible vocal microphone available on the market.

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. 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.
