True studio sound on the live stage The d:facto series brings true studio sound to the live stage and broadcasting studio. These mics are available in an extremely linear version as well as in a version with a high-end boost. 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. Engineered especially for vocal performances onstage, the d:facto holds a supercardioid capsule that is designed to reproduce every nuance of the human voice transparently, consistently and thrillingly. There are two versions available. The d:facto Linear Vocal Microphone (4018VL) is extremely linear. The d:facto Vocal Microphone (4018V) is linear but with a high-end boost. 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. Besides 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 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 for DPA Microphones. Modularity redefined The d:facto Handheld Microphones series boasts a fully modular construction. The grid, capsules and wired handle (or adapters for wireless systems) are all interchangeable. This ensures that your audio investment is future proof easily adaptable to changes in wireless technology as well as frequency-band modifications. You can use the same supreme-sounding capsules wired as well as with third-party wireless mic handles. This preserves the capsule sound and makes it possible to keep the sound settings between different performances. Improving the sound quality even with low-cost wireless systems may be a better audio result than buying a more expensive wireless system. The d:facto line consists of two capsule versions. The vocal microphone is intended for stage use with audio quality so high that it can be used for studio recording as well as broadcast use. The vocal microphone comes in a linear version and a version with a high end boost. Pop protection and shock mounting It can be quite a challenge to give a stage mic enough protection against plosive consonants like k, p and f without adding too much high-frequency damping at the same time. We have developed a three-way pop-protection system, which is easy to remove, split and clean after use. d:facto Vocal Microphones also have an effective built-in shock rejection rubber ring close to the mic head, which suppresses unwanted handling noise. Flexible adapter system This gives you flexible, simple and affordable possibilities. With the d:facto Vocal Microphones series, you are no longer bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter at a quarter of the cost of a new microphone. You won't hear any loss in sound quality. d:facto adapters work with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony and Wisycom. DPA Microphones ingenious adapter system is one of a kind in the industry. This modular system protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come. Optimized for live performance d:facto Vocal Microphones are the ultimate stage mics no matter if the performance is taking place in a cozy club or the largest concert hall. Like traditional supercardioid mics, the d:facto series enjoys high side- and rear rejection with a minimum of 9 dB attenuation to the sides. 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. 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. Linear or with a high-end boost? When you choose your d:facto Vocal Microphone, you get to choose the microphone that best meets your need. An extremely linear version of the d:facto Vocal Microphone is engineered specifically for audio engineers who prefer setting their own unique impression on the final sound. A version with a pre-programmed high-end boost has a 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz. Both versions of the d:facto are designed to capture electrifying live performances and accurately replicate a singer's voice transparently, cons
