Capture the raw essence of live performance with the DPA 2028 Vocal Microphone, engineered specifically to meet the demanding requirements of stage environments. This flexible handheld condenser microphone brings transparent, exceptional vocal reproduction to performers across live venues, houses of worship, broadcast applications and beyond. The 2028 works seamlessly in both wired configurations and with your preferred wireless system – simply connect and hear vocals shine with unprecedented clarity.
The microphone features a supercardioid capsule paired with DPA’s renowned flat off-axis response characteristics. This combination provides exceptional gain-before-feedback performance whilst making it significantly easier for sound engineers to manage bleed from nearby instruments. The 2028 captures these off-axis sounds naturally, maintaining the integrity of the overall mix.
DPA has developed an entirely new capsule design for the 2028, which forms an integral component of the microphone assembly. The capsule is permanently fixed atop a purpose-built shock mount and cannot be removed. Both the shock mount and pop filter have been specifically engineered for this model, ensuring optimal performance and reliability.
On stage, the 2028 maintains the same open, transparent sound signature that DPA microphones are known for. The microphone requires minimal or no EQ to reproduce vocals as naturally as standing beside the performer during their set. This natural reproduction allows singers to perform without compensating for microphone artifacts, reducing vocal strain while enabling sound engineers to focus on crafting the overall sonic experience rather than correcting technical issues.
