 The MMC4018 modular microphone capsule is part of the flexible DPA d:dicate 
Recording Microphones series.
 
 The MMC4018 has a highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern with a smooth 
and uniform off-axis frequency response. The supercardioid shape is frequency 
independent, securing an identical sound color around the microphone. The usual 
rear lobe heard on most supercardioids is minimized on the 4018 capsule making 
it much more isolated without sudden frequency dependent peaks and dips.
 
 Designed for a broad range of broadcast/ENG/film long-distance miking 
applications, such as booming, dialogue, interview and table or podium use, the 
MMC4018 offers superbly flexibility through modular accessories. The MMC4018 is 
also ideal for use as spot or hanging mic for orchestra recording situations.
 
 Combine the MMC4018 with any of the pre-amps in the d:dicate modular series to 
fit your need.
