The DPA Microphones 4018 supercardioid mic 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.
