     The DPA 4018C is finally here. I bought this mic to compliment to my DPA 4017B shotgun mic. I have heard a great review about the mic. Even though it may not have the well established reputation like the Sennheiser and the Schoeps product line among the soundman, I have decided to jump ship to the DPA products. I have yet to bring the 4018C for shoot but I am sure I will love it. Anyway, goodbye to my Sennheiser MKH8050.
