These mics are available in an extremely linear version as well as in a version with a high-end boost. The modular nature of the d:facto™ series allows you to switch the capsule as well as the adapter, making it the most flexible vocal microphone available on the market. \u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Engineered especially for vocal performances onstage, the d:facto™ holds a supercardioid capsule that is designed to reproduce every nuance of the human voice transparently, consistently and thrillingly. There are two versions available. The d:facto™ Linear Vocal Microphone (4018VL) is extremely linear. The d:facto™ Vocal Microphone (4018V) is linear but with a high-end boost. The 4018V  is often chosen because it  ‘cuts through’ on a broadcasting set, where the content typically ends up transmitted to built-in television speakers with limited audio quality.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Besides the linearity \/ boost, these mics are identical. Both feature an isolation-optimized supercardioid polar pattern. This directional characteristic offers the best of two worlds –  from cardioid and supercardioid patterns. These mics can handle loud vocals with three-step pop-protection grid and best-in-class low handling noise. They also offer excellent sonic reproduction with all the detail and balanced linear phase and frequency response users have grown to trust for DPA Microphones.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOptimized for live performance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ed:facto™ Vocal Microphones are the ultimate stage mics – no matter if the performance is taking place in a  cozy club or the largest concert hall.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Like traditional supercardioid mics, the d:facto™ series enjoys high side- and rear rejection with a minimum of 9 dB attenuation to the sides. Yet it is not bound by the less desirable aspects of the supercardioid like the uncontrolled and nonlinear rear lobes, which can create feedback from stage wedges, because there is a sudden high frequency peak at the backside of the mic.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e The d:facto™ series has a wider acceptance angle at the front of the mic than most supercardioids. The acceptance angle is identical to a first-order cardioid at ±60 degrees off-center, resulting in the same work field as a cardioid — just with extremely high and uniform side and rear damping.\u003cbr\u003e  \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLinear or with a high-end boost?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen you choose your d:facto™ Vocal Microphone, you get to choose the microphone that best meets your need. An extremely linear version of the d:facto™ Vocal Microphone is engineered specifically for audio engineers who prefer setting their own unique impression on the final sound. A version with a pre-programmed high-end boost has a 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e Both versions of the d:facto™ are designed to capture electrifying live performances and accurately replicate a singer's voice transparently, consistently and thrillingly. These mics are optimized for use in sound reinforcement as well as recording applications. They offer natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and SPL handling up to 160 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eModularity redefined\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe d:facto™ Handheld Microphones series boasts a fully modular construction. The grid, capsules and wired handle (or adapters for wireless systems) are all interchangeable. This ensures that your audio investment is future proof — easily adaptable to changes in wireless technology as well as frequency-band modifications.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou can use the same supreme-sounding capsules wired as well as with third-party wireless mic handles. This preserves the capsule sound and makes it possible to keep the sound settings between different performances. Improving the sound quality even with low-cost wireless systems may be a better audio result than buying a more expensive wireless system.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe d:facto™ line consists of two capsule versions. The vocal microphone is intended for stage use with audio quality so high that it can be used for studio recording as well as broadcast use. The vocal microphone comes in a linear version and a version with a high end boost.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePop protection and shock mounting\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can be quite a challenge to give a stage mic enough protection against plosive consonants like k, p and f without adding too much high-frequency damping at the same time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe have developed a three-way pop-protection system, which is easy to remove, split and clean after use. d:facto™ Vocal Microphones also have an effective built-in shock rejection rubber ring close to the mic head, which suppresses unwanted handling noise.\u003cbr\u003e \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFlexible adapter system\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis gives you flexible, simple and affordable possibilities.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith the d:facto™ Vocal Microphones series, you are no longer bound to one wireless system. As circumstances change, you can just switch your adapter at a quarter of the cost of a new microphone. You won't hear any loss in sound quality.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ed:facto™ adapters work with all leading wireless mic solutions, such as Lectrosonics, Sennheiser, Shure, Sony and Wisycom.
