About DPA Microphones 2028 Vocal Mic

Take your live performances to the next level with the 2028 Wired Supercardioid Condenser Handheld Vocal Microphone in Matte Black. Specifically engineered to meet the demanding needs of the live stage, this microphone captures authentic sound, enabling you to deliver a memorable performance with ease.

This versatile handheld vocal condenser microphone is designed to deliver exceptional, transparent vocals for a diverse range of applications, including live performances, Houses of Worship, broadcasting, and more. Whether you prefer it wired or paired with your preferred wireless system, simply plug in the 2028 Vocal Microphone and experience your vocals in a new light.

Constructed with durability in mind, the 2028 microphone features a rugged black chrome finish grille that can withstand the rigors of regular use. For added convenience, the grille can be easily removed for cleaning. The wired version of the 2028 microphone boasts a zinc alloy handle with a matching black chrome finish, ensuring years of reliable use.

Unlike other supercardioid microphones, the 2028 microphone offers strong attenuation from the rear, effectively reducing feedback issues from monitors. It also provides no pickup at the critical 140-150 degrees, where stage monitors often cause feedback in lesser microphones.

The 2028 microphone features a supercardioid capsule with DPA's renowned flat off-axis response. This characteristic, along with its high gain-before-feedback, makes it easier for sound engineers to manage bleed from nearby instruments. The 2028 microphone naturally and effectively attenuates off-axis sounds.

With a dynamic range of 117 dB and a fast transient response diaphragm, the 2028 microphone effortlessly captures the peaks, making it easier to position the microphone in the mix. It can handle the extreme Sound Pressure Level (SPL) of the most dynamic singers, while its low self-noise also makes it ideal for softer singers.

On a live stage, the 2028 microphone delivers the same open and transparent sound that DPA microphones are known for. It requires minimal EQ to sound as if you're standing next to the singer, allowing them to perform as if there's no microphone present. This reduces strain on the singer and allows sound engineers to focus on crafting the sound experience rather than masking artifacts.

Experience the unparalleled transparency of DPA vocal condenser microphones with the 2028 Wired Supercardioid Condenser Handheld Vocal Microphone. Whether wired or wireless, this microphone is a game-changer for any live performance.
