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.
The microphone features 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.
With the unique ability to use the same mic head for both wired and wireless use, the d:facto™ Vocal Microphone sets a new standard in performance and flexibility among high isolation stage mics. With DPA’s pedigree of key features such as extraordinary natural sound, perfectly uniform supercardioid directionality and extreme sound level handling, the d:facto™ Vocal Microphone is equally at home in sound reinforcement and recording applications. The phantom powered DPA handle is a state-of-the-art electronic design with a total transparent sound and SPL handling up to 160 dB.
*The Microphone only comes in black. There are no other colour options.
