The DPA MMC4018 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule has a highly directional supercardioid pickup pattern with a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. The supercardioid shape is frequency independent, securing an identical sound color around the microphone. The usual rear lobe heard on most supercardioids is minimized on this capsule, making it much more isolated without sudden frequency dependent peaks and dips. Designed for a broad range of long-distance broadcast, ENG and film miking applications, such as booming, dialogue, interview and table or podium use, the MMC4018 Supercardioid Microphone Capsule offers superb flexibility through modular accessories. The mic is also ideal for use as a spot or hanging mic for orchestra recording situations.
