DPA 4018VL-B-SE2 mit SE2-ew Adapter (schwarz)

The d:facto series ensures true studio sound on the live stage and in the broadcast studio. These microphones are available in an extremely linear version as well as a presence boosted version. The modularity of the d:facto series allows the capsule and adapter to be exchanged, making it the most flexible vocal microphone on the market. The d:facto was specifically designed for singing on stage. It features a supercardioid capsule that reproduces every nuance of the human voice transparently, authentically and in a thrilling manner. Two versions are available. The d:facto Linear vocal microphone (4018VL) is extremely linear. The d:facto vocal microphone (4018V) is linear, but with a presence boost. The 4018V is often chosen because it is "cutting edge" in the recording studio, where content is typically delivered to built-in television speakers with limited audio quality. Other than linearity/boost, these microphones are identical. Both versions offer an isolation-optimized supercardioid characteristic. This polar pattern offers the best of two worlds - cardioid and supercardioid. These microphones feature a three-stage pop filter microphone basket for loud vocals and offer the lowest handling noise in their class. They also offer excellent sound reproduction with all the details, balanced linear phase and frequency response that users have always trusted with DPA microphones. Optimized for live performance d:facto vocal microphones are the ultimate stage microphones - for Performance in cozy clubs up to the largest concert hall. Just like the traditional supercardioid microphones, the d:facto series impresses with high side and rear sound suppression with at least 9 dB attenuation from the side direction. However, it is not bound by the less desirable aspects of the supercardioid, such as the difficult to control and non-linear reverse lobe, which can generate feedback from stage monitors in the event of a sudden high frequency spike to the back of the microphone. The d:facto series has a wider pickup angle at the front of the microphone than most supercardioids. The recording angle is identical to a first-order cardioid in the off-center range of ±60 degrees, creating the same sound field as a cardioid - but with extremely high and even attenuation on the side and back. Linear or presence increase? When you choose a d:facto vocal microphone, you choose the microphone that best suits your needs. The extremely linear version of the d:facto vocal microphone was designed specifically for sound engineers who prefer to add their own unique expression to the final sound. A version with a pre-programmed presence boost delivers a 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz. Both versions of the d:facto capture electrifying performances and reproduce a singer's voice transparently, unadulterated and in a thrilling way. These microphones are optimized for both sound reinforcement and recording purposes. They offer natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and SPL handling up to 160 dB. About Supercardioid Microphones A supercardioid microphone is similar to a cardioid microphone - it is more sensitive to front sound and less sensitive to rear sound. Supercardioid microphones have a narrower focus, which means they are more focused than “normal” cardioid microphones. The off-axis sound tends to be more or less colored and muffled - and because of the narrow focus angle, the area of ​​muffled sound is significantly larger. However, the unique DPA capsule technology ignores the coloration of the sound coming from the sides or back of the microphone and only reduces the sensitivity at these angles, resulting in optimal sound stages. The amount of attenuation depends on the exact specifications of the microphone. Due to their nature, supercardioid microphones are often used on live stages at both concerts and speeches to capture the focused sound of an instrument or voice. The high level of concentration helps reduce the influence of other sounds on a crowded stage. With supercardioid microphones, one thing to consider is the proximity effect, which amplifies low frequencies the closer the microphone is to the sound source. In addition, supercardioid microphones are much more sensitive to wind, banging and handling noises than omnidirectional microphones, and you should protect yourself from this. Wired or wireless? - The choice is yours You can use the d:facto vocal microphone as a wired version with a slim, state-of-the-art d:facto handle or you can use the d:facto capsule together with your favorite wireless system. And if you prefer wireless, simply switch to a wireless adapter for a quarter of the cost of a new microphone. If conditions change, simply replace your adapter instead of buying a completely new microphone. And after the switch, you won't notice any loss or change in sound quality. The d:facto handheld microphones are compatible with all leading wireless microphone solutions, such as Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Wisycom, Lectrosonics and Line6. DPA Microphones' sophisticated adapter system is unique in the industry. It protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come.
