Description

This one mic allows you to capture true sound and produce an unforgettable show. Effortlessly. The 2028 Vocal Microphone is designed for the unique challenges of live stage performances. It is a flexible handheld vocal condenser mic, which provides fantastic, transparent vocals to performers from a wide range of markets including live, HoW, broadcast, etc. Use it wired or together with your favorite wireless system, either way, just plug it in and hear the vocals shine like never before.

Durable mechanical construction

The 2028 is an extremely durable microphone. The grille is made of a black chrome finish, which is hard and rugged. In addition, it can be removed for ease of cleaning. The wired version of the 2028 has a handle made of zinc alloy with the same black chrome finish. Overall, the microphone is made with premium materials that can take a beating and will provide years of reliable use.

Uniform supercardioid directionality

The 2028 has a supercardioid capsule with DPA’s famously flat off-axis response. Besides a high gain-before-feedback, this characteristic makes it easier for sound engineers to handle bleed from other instruments at close proximity. The 2028 picks up off-axis sounds in a very natural and attenuated way.

Extreme SPL handling

The 2028 has a dynamic range of 117 dB so the mic easily picks up the peaks – due to the fast transient response of the diaphragm. This makes it easier to place the mic in the mix. In fact, the 2028 can handle the extreme SPL of the most dynamic singer, but with its low self-noise, it also sounds great in the hands of softer singers as well.

Features

  • Durable mechanical construction
  • Reduces feedback issues
  • Uniform supercardioid directionality
  • Extreme SPL (Sound Pressure Level) handling
  • Easy to EQ
