A combination of the MMC4018 Microphone Capsule and the MMP-E
modular active cable, the 4018E is part of the modular d:dicate™
Recording Microphones series. At any time and with no tools necessary
it is possible to transform the basic 4018E microphone into a new
configuration by combining it with another d:dicate™ Microphone
Capsule or Preamplifier.
Suspension mount & windscreen
Suspend the mic in the mount by securing the hook around the notch
on the Preamplifier. Subsequently twist the cable in the spiral-shaped
end of the mount. This allows the microphone to hang in its own cable
and be adjusted to any direction by bending the boom.
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 d:dicate™ 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 o-axis frequency responses for a MMC4018 at 30
cm (1 ft):
