The supercardioid shape is frequency independent, giving an identical sound colour around the microphone, and the usual rear lobe is minimised on this capsule, so it is much more isolated without sudden frequency-dependent peaks and dips.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eFour versions are offered.

The \u003cstrong\u003e4018C\u003c\/strong\u003e is even shorter at only 6.4 cm (2.5 in), a great-sounding microphone with a very small footprint, ideal as a spot or hanging microphone for orchestra recording.
