Professional Podium Microphone
The d:dicate 4018F is a supercardioid podium microphone built for speakers and performers who need clear voice capture on stage or at a lectern. Its modular design pairs the MMC4018 capsule with a 15 cm boom for precise positioning.
Frequency Range and Noise Limits
The microphone covers a 20Hz to 20kHz frequency range with a self-noise of 16dB (A). Its supercardioid pattern provides uniform off-axis response while minimising the rear lobe common in similar designs.
Modular Installation Notes
The capsule separates from the boom, allowing quick swaps to 15, 30 or 45 cm podium booms or 75 and 120 cm floor-stand booms. Alignment of the capsule thread is the only step that can cause connection issues if rushed.

Questions about this item
Which boom length should I choose for a standard podium setup?
The 15 cm boom is supplied with this model and suits typical podium placement; 30 cm and 45 cm booms are available separately for wider reach or floor-stand use.
What does the 20 Hz to 20 kHz range mean for speech capture?
It covers the full audible spectrum so every vocal nuance from deep fundamentals to sibilant detail is reproduced without roll-off.
How does the supercardioid pattern behave in a live room?
The 4018 capsule keeps a uniform off-axis response and minimises the rear lobe, giving consistent isolation and reduced feedback risk.
