DPA 4018VL-B-WI2 Vocal Microphone Head

DPA 4018VL-B-WI2 Vocal Microphone Head

DPA 4018VL-B-WI2 is a modular supercardioid condenser vocal microphone head with a WI2 adapter.

This 4018VL version is intended for stage vocals and speech, while the linear response leaves tonal shaping to the sound engineer and the rest of the signal chain. Its supercardioid pattern focuses pickup on the performer and helps reduce spill from nearby stage sources.

The included WI2 adapter connects the d:facto capsule to Wisycom MTH400 and MTH410 wireless systems. This is a microphone head for a wireless transmitter handle; the transmitter itself is not included.

The modular d:facto construction lets the user change the capsule or adapter when the wireless platform changes. The capsule keeps its acoustic voicing while the correct adapter is selected for the specific transmitter handle.

Main Features

• The supercardioid polar pattern helps separate vocals from nearby sound sources.
• The 4018VL capsule is voiced for vocals: the linear response leaves tonal shaping to the sound engineer and the rest of the signal chain.
• The modular d:facto platform allows the capsule and adapter to be changed without replacing the entire microphone system.
• The WI2 adapter is intended for Wisycom MTH400 and MTH410 wireless systems.
• A maximum SPL of 160 dB accommodates very high sound pressure without capsule overload.
• A typical 120 dB dynamic range preserves a wide span between quiet and loud signal details.
• Wireless sensitivity of 2 mV/Pa identifies the electrical level of this configuration.
• The black finish identifies this exact SKU without changing its compatibility.
