DESCRIPTION
The d:facto™ series brings true studio sound to the live stage and broadcasting studio. These mics are available in an extremely linear version as well as in a version with a high-end boost. The modular nature of the d:facto™ series allows you to switch the capsule as well as the adapter, making it the most flexible vocal microphone available on the market.
- Extraordinarily natural sound
- Perfectly uniform super cardioid directionality
- High separation
- Extreme SPL handling
- Low handling noise
- Sleek design
- Flexible adapter system fits most professional wireless systems
SOS REVIEW
The price is going to put a lot of people off, as this is an expensive microphone — but when I told the singer it cost seven times more than the microphone he was currently using, his response was that it sounded it!
ROYAL BLOOD REVIEW
They just sound great. The d:facto™ Vocal Microphone is genius. Even in a small club I can get it as loud as most dynamic mics without hideous feedback, but the sound quality and ‘intelligibility’ is still there. – Phil Jones, Front of House Engineer for Royal Blood
