Description
This solution uses the MMC4018 Cardioid Microphone Capsule, which has a highly-directional supercardioid pickup pattern with a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. A complete cardioid microphone floor stand solution, offering a high-quality stage voice or instrument mic.
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. This makes it much more isolated without sudden frequency dependent peaks and dips.
Due to its modular nature, the 4018 Supercardioid Microphone Boom can be combined with different lengths of podium booms – 15, 30 or 45 cm (6, 12 or 18 in). If longer booms are needed for floor stands with visual elegance, our long booms at 75 or 120 cm (30 or 48 in) make a high-quality stage voice mic together with our dedicated accessories.
4018 Gooseneck Microphones come in five lengths:
- 20 cm 32 cm and 47 cm boom intended for podium solutions
- 77 cm and 122 cm for floor stand applications
FEATURES:
- Low noise and natural voice
- Highly directional for high isolation
- Uniform, frequency independent directionality
- Exclusive, elegant design
- Integrated shock-mounting in floor base
- Rapidly stabilizing microphone boom pole
