d:sign™

Floor Stand Microphone

Elegant and exclusive design

• Low noise and natural voice
• Highly directional for high isolation
• Uniform, frequency independent directionality
• Exclusive, elegant design
• Integrated shock-mounting in floor base
• Rapidly stabilizing microphone boom pole
• Modular flexibility (d:dicate™ capsules)

A complete cardioid microphone floor stand solution in the modular d:sign™ Microphone Series offering a high-quality stage voice or instrument mic.

This floor stand solution 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 MMP-F Modular Active Boom. 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 another d:dicate™ Microphone Capsule or Preamplifier.

d:sign™ 4018 Floor Stand 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.
