DPA Microphones DPA MMC4018VL d:facto Linear Supercardioid Vocal Capsule

The MMC4018VL is the linear sibling of the d:facto vocal capsule. Same supercardioid element and same 160 dB SPL peak handling, but without the 12 kHz lift - the response runs flat to 16 kHz so the engineer decides where the presence goes rather than inheriting it from the mic.

It is a capsule, not a finished microphone. Fit the wired d:facto handle for a phantom-powered XLR mic, or one of the d:facto adapters to put the same capsule on a Sennheiser, Shure, Sony, Lectrosonics or Wisycom handheld transmitter. Specifications are quoted for the capsule measured as a complete 4018VL.
