DPA gooseneck microphones have quickly become a very popular choice for podium mics as well as for conference room usage as either tabletop or ceiling mount.

These microphones have, on numerous occasions, been the preferred type to turn to when high speech intelligibility is paramount. This for instance is the fact at parliaments where multiple languages are to be simultaneous interpreted and the interpreters must catch every word and nuances of the spoken word and in a split second deliver the perfect translation.

In conference use, boardroom applications and videoconference situations the DPA mics gives you trouble-free installations and delivers pristine, clear sound.

DPA's gooseneck microphone solutions are primarily for the installation segment.

4018 Gooseneck Microphones

This solution uses the MMC4018 Cardioid Microphone Capsule, which has a highly-directional supercardioid pickup pattern with a smooth and uniform off-axis frequency response. The supercardioid shape is frequency independent, securing an identical sound color around the microphone. The usual rear lobe heard on most supercardioids is minimized on this capsule. This makes it much more isolated without sudden frequency dependent peaks and dips.

Due to its modular nature, the 4018 Supercardioid Microphone Boom can be combined with different lengths of podium booms – 15, 30 or 45 cm (6, 12 or 18 in). If longer booms are needed for floor stands with visual elegance, our long booms at 75 or 120 cm (30 or 48 in) make a high-quality stage voice mic together with our dedicated accessories.

4018 Gooseneck Microphones come in five lengths:

20 cm (8 in), 32 cm (13 in) and 47 cm (18 in) boom intended for podium solutions

77 cm (30 in) and 122 cm (48 in) for floor stand applications

Complete floor stand solution

We have a complete modular floor stand solution that offers a high-quality stage voice or instrument mic.

The floor stand has an elegant and exclusive design with a black, non-reflective surface specifically made to handle the, from time to time, rough life in TV-studios, OB-vans and onstage in theaters and concert halls. The Floor Base has an integrated shock mounting solution. The thread screw holds the Stand Extension and Active Boom Pole. This unique design allows for a long stage-microphone boom pole that does not swing, but rapidly stabilizes itself after being positioned.

These floor stand solutions can quickly, and with no tools needed, transform into a new configuration. You can combine it with many of our pencil microphone capsules and preamplifiers.
