DPA MMC4018VL Vocal Microphone Capsule

DPA MMC4018VL Vocal Microphone Capsule

DPA MMC4018VL is a supercardioid condenser d:facto vocal microphone capsule.

The 4018VL capsule is designed for close vocal pickup and provides a linear 40–16,000 Hz effective frequency range. Its supercardioid pattern helps separate the voice from other sound sources on stage.

The capsule is part of the modular d:facto platform. It connects to a separately selected DPA wired handle or to a d:facto adapter made for a specific wireless transmitter system.

This sales unit contains the capsule itself. The microphone handle, wireless adapter and transmitter are not included, so the correct interface for the intended system must be selected separately.

Main Features

• The supercardioid polar pattern helps reduce pickup from sound sources at the sides of the stage.
• A linear 40–16,000 hz effective frequency range defines the vocal response of this model.
• The modular construction allows the same capsule to be paired with different d:facto adapters.
• A total frequency range of 20–20,000 Hz covers the full audible spectrum.
• A maximum SPL of 160 dB accommodates very high sound pressure at the capsule.
• A typical 120 dB dynamic range preserves a wide usable signal span.
• A typical equivalent noise level of 19 dB(A) is relevant to quieter vocal detail.
• The capsule is intended to be combined with a chosen d:facto wired handle or wireless-system adapter.
