It has high side and rear rejection, with a minimum of 9 dB attenuation to the sides, and an acceptance angle at the front identical to a first-order cardioid at ±60° off-centre: the same work field as a cardioid, with extremely high and uniform side and rear damping.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe 4018VL is extremely linear, engineered for audio engineers who prefer setting their own unique impression on the final sound. The 4018V is the same microphone with a 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz. Both offer natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and SPL handling up to 160 dB, an isolation-optimised supercardioid pattern, a three-step pop-protection grid, very low handling noise and balanced linear phase and frequency response.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"margin:0 0 12px;\"\u003eThe d:facto series is modular: the capsule and the adapter can both be switched. Use it with the sleek d:facto handle with XLR for wired use, or with an adapter for wireless handheld transmitters, with no loss or change in sound quality. As circumstances change, you just switch the adapter, which protects your investment in fantastic sound for years to come. The grid comes in black or nickel.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable style=\"border-collapse:collapse;margin:6px 0 18px;width:100%;max-width:100%;table-layout:fixed;\"\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003e±60° acceptance angle, min. 9 dB side attenuation\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;font-weight:bold;color:#006d77;font-size:17px;\"\u003eSupercardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd style=\"padding:12px 8px;text-align:left;border:1px solid #DDE2E8;vertical-align:top;word-break:normal;overflow-wrap:break-word;width:55%;color:#5a6170;font-size:13px;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.05em;\"\u003eMax.
