DPA 4018VL-B-B01 Vocal Microphone

DPA 4018VL-B-B01 Linear Supercardioid Vocal Microphone

DPA 4018VL-B-B01 is a high-end condenser vocal microphone from the "d:facto" series, featuring extremely natural and linear frequency response. This model is designed for those who need uncompromising sound clarity without additional frequency coloring, ensuring that the voice sounds exactly as it does in a natural environment.

The microphone has a highly stable supercardioid polar pattern, which perfectly isolates vocals from other stage instruments and ensures exceptionally high resistance to acoustic feedback. Due to its modular design, the 4018VL capsule can be easily removed and used with various wireless adapters, while the included XLR handle ensures a perfect wired connection. Its noise suppression and ability to withstand extreme sound pressure make it one of the best choices for professional stages.
