The d:facto series provides a true studio sound on the live stage and in the broadcast studio. These microphones are available in an extremely linear version as well as a version with presence boost. The modularity of the d:facto series allows capsule and adapter replacement, making it the most flexible vocal microphone on the market.


The d:facto was specially designed for vocals on stage. It has a supercardioid capsule that reproduces every nuance of the human voice in a transparent, unadulterated and captivating way. Two versions are available. The d:facto Linear Vocal Microphone (4018VL) is extremely linear. The d:facto Vocal Microphone (4018V)

is linear, but with a presence boost. The 4018V is often chosen because it cuts through in the recording studio, where the content is usually sent to in-built TV speakers with limited audio quality.


Apart from linearity/boost, these microphones are identical. Both versions offer an isolation-optimised supercardioid polar pattern. This polar pattern offers the best of both worlds - cardioid and supercardioid. These microphones are equipped with a three-stage pop protection grille for loud vocals and offer the lowest handling noise in their class

lowest handling noise in their class. They also offer excellent sound reproduction with all the detail, balanced linear phase and frequency response that users have always relied on from DPA microphones.
