The DPA d:facto series delivers uncompromising vocal reproduction for professional touring, broadcast, and live production engineers who demand studio-grade transparency on stage. Built around a pressure gradient condenser capsule with perfectly uniform supercardioid directionality, this microphone provides exceptional separation in dense stage environments while maintaining extraordinarily natural frequency response. The pre-programmed 3 dB soft boost at 12 kHz enhances vocal presence without sacrificing the balanced character critical for mix engineers working in complex multi-source environments.
Designed for the realities of professional touring and broadcast workflows, the d:facto handles extreme SPL conditions up to 160 dB peak while maintaining distortion below audible thresholds. Low handling noise and impedance-balanced Active Drive output ensure clean signal delivery across cable runs up to 100 meters, eliminating the ground loop and RF interference issues common in large venue installations. The modular adapter system integrates seamlessly with professional wireless platforms, allowing FOH and monitor engineers to standardize on one capsule across wired and wireless rigs without compromise.
For integrators and production companies managing diverse broadcast and touring inventories, the d:facto series provides a future-proof investment. Interchangeable capsules and wireless adapters eliminate the need for dedicated mic packages per application, while the rugged matte black finish and precision-machined construction withstand the rigors of daily load-ins and festival environments where reliability cannot be negotiated.
