• Ultra-compact table or
hanging mic
• Frequency consistent polar pattern
• Highly directional
• Low-key appearance
Ideal for unobtrusive or distant miking such as desktop or hanging
use, the 4018E is an ultra-compact supercardioid microphone from
the modular DPA d:dicate Recording Microphones series.
With a length of only 3,5 cm, the low-key appearance of the 4018E
is as unique as the 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 4018E 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 various dialogue capturing, interview
and table or podium use, the modular 4018 capsule offers superb
flexibility through modular accessories. The 4018E is also ideal
for use as spot or hanging mic for orchestra recording situations
with the SM4000-C suspension mount, which is included in the
package. This allows the 4018E to be hung from the ceiling and
create precision spot miking of orchestra sections or ambience
atmosphere.
At any time and with no tools necessary it is possible to transform
the basic 4018E microphone into a new configuration by combining it
with another DPA microphone capsule or preamp. |
