DPA 4018VL-B-SE2 4018VL Linear Supercardioid Mic with SE2-ew Adapter, in Black

Equally at home in sound reinforcement as well as recording applications, the 4018 Handheld Microphone from DPA Microphones offer users DPA's superb sound yet working with their existing wireless systems - with no loss in the sound quality. It is a high quality onstage vocal microphone with remarkably transparent and natural sound, high rejection of nearby sound sources, plus extreme sound pressure level (SPL) handling. This particular model [4018VL-B-SE2-ew] features a supercardioid polar pattern with an extremely linear frequency response - ideal for audio engineers who prefer to set their own unique impression on the final sound. It comes equipped with an SE2-ew adapter designed for use with Sennheiser (2000/6000/9000/evolution/D1) systems (3rd-party components sold separately), but a noteworthy feature with the series is the ability to swap out both the capsule as well as the adapter, thus making it the most versatile and flexible vocal microphone available on the market (additional capsules and/or adapters sold separately). Plus, its excellent definition delivers high separation and true sound color on stage, equally suitable for PA amplification and recording. Also included is a robust onboard 3-stage pop protection grid for removing unwanted noise.
