There are two versions available. The d:facto™ Linear Vocal Microphone (4018VL) is extremely linear. It was engineered specifically for audio engineers who prefer setting their own unique impression on the final sound. The d:facto™ Vocal Microphone (4018V) is linear but with a high-end boost (3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz). The 4018V is often chosen because it ‘cuts through’ on a broadcasting set, where the content typically ends up transmitted to built-in television speakers with limited audio quality. Both versions of the offer natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and SPL handling up to 160 dB.
