Application and use
The DPA d:facto™ vocal mic is a high quality stage microphone with
extraordinary natural sound, high separation from nearby sound
sources and extreme sound level handling.
Its supercardioid pattern combined with superb definition gives true
dynamics and sound color on stage – equally suitable for PA ampli-
fication and recording. The integrated 3-step pop protection grid
effectively removes unwanted noise.
The d:facto vocal mic bridges the gap between live stage perfor-
mances and studio recordings, and can also be used as close mic on
acoustic instruments.

Proximity effect
The DPA d:facto vocal mic is designed primarily as a handheld vocal
microphone and the frequency response is tailored to match this ap-
plication. At short distances all directional microphones will create a
bass level boost. This phenomenon is known as proximity effect or
close-talk, and will give a bigger, more powerful sound at short dis-
tances, but needs to be controlled in order to avoid a boomy sound.
Keep in mind that the low-frequency level will change according to the
distance to the mouth, but be assured that the microphone has been
designed and factory fine-tuned to match this use. Also, to avoid
acoustic distortion from your lips, keep a distance at about 2 cm (1 in)
from the microphone head's mesh.
Miking and recording voice
When using microphones it is important to know some of the
parameters characterizing the source you are recording, its
surroundings and the characteristics of the tools you use to
record it. For tips and background info on voice miking, please visit

Directionality
The d:facto polar pattern has its highest rejection at ±137 degrees
off-axis. The best gain-to-feedback ratio is obtained when loud
sound sources like stage monitors project their sound to this angle,
not to the rear side of the mic.
Windscreen
When used outdoors or with performing artists with pronounced
wind or pop noise, use the optional windscreen.
Phantom power
The d:facto vocal is a condenser mic and needs 48V phantom
powering from the mixing console or from an external power
supply unit. Mute the channel on the console before supplying
phantom power to avoid the crackling noise.
