d:dicate™ 4018F Supercardioid Microphone, Boom

A combination of the MMC4018 Microphone Capsule and the MMP-F

modular active boom, this mic is part of the modular d:dicate™ Re-

cording Microphones series. At any time and with no tools necessary

it is possible to transform the basic 4018F Microphone into a new

conﬁguration by combining it with another d:dicate™ Microphone

Capsule or Preampliﬁer.

Performance

Mount the foam windscreen on the mic head whenever used outdoors

or in air turbulent situations such as close miking voice in order to

prevent wind or pop noise.

The supplied calibration chart shows the individual frequency response

of the MMC4018 Capsule measured with a linear MMP-A Preampliﬁer.

Typical on- and off-axis and frequency responses at 30 cm (1ft):

or preamp.

PERFORMANCE

Mount the foam windscreen on the mic head whenever used outdoors

or in air turbulent situations such as close miking voice in order to

prevent wind- or pop noise.

With each DPA microphone capsule, comes a unique calibration chart

that shows the exact frequency response of the purchased capsule

measured with a linear MMP-A preamp.

Typical on- and off-axis frequency responses for a MMC4018 at 30

cm (1 ft):

ATTENUATION PAD

The MMP-A preampliﬁ er has a 20 dB attenuation push-switch at the

XLR output connector. Use a pencil or the like to activate the attenua-

tor and lower output by 20 dB.
