Description

The DPA 2028 Vocal Handheld Microphone is engineered for the demanding conditions of live vocal performances across stage, house of worship and broadcast environments. Built with the renowned DPA sonic clarity, this microphone captures vocals naturally and transparently, letting every nuance shine through. Designed to plug in and perform, the 2028 requires little to no EQ adjustments, offering a pristine and open sound right out of the box. Its supercardioid pickup pattern and uniform off-axis response make it easier for sound engineers to handle bleed and prevent feedback, even in acoustically challenging situations. With extreme sound pressure level handling and low self noise, this microphone is just as comfortable with delicate vocalists as it is with powerful rock performers. Rugged construction, a removable grille for cleaning and premium components ensure that the 2028 is ready for the road and built to last. Whether in wired or wireless configurations, the DPA 2028 delivers excellence on every stage.

Key Features:

  • Renowned DPA sound:
    Delivers exceptional clarity and vocal accuracy with minimal EQ, ensuring a natural and transparent sound experience for performers and engineers alike.
  • Reduces feedback issues:
    Strong rear attenuation and no pickup at 140 to 150 degrees help minimise feedback from stage monitors, even in loud environments.
  • Rugged live stage construction:
    Made from zinc alloy with a black chrome finish, the 2028 is built to endure years of use while maintaining its professional appearance.

Durability and Design:

The 2028 Vocal Handheld Microphone is crafted to withstand the rigours of live performance. Its black chrome finish and zinc alloy handle offer both durability and a sleek aesthetic, while the removable grille allows for easy cleaning and maintenance. This robust construction ensures reliability across countless gigs, providing peace of mind to performers and sound engineers alike. Whether on tour or in a fixed venue, the 2028 stands up to the demands of the stage without compromising sound quality or comfort.

Feedback Rejection and Directionality:

Unlike many other supercardioid microphones, the 2028 is designed with enhanced rear attenuation and a highly controlled pickup pattern. This significantly reduces the likelihood of feedback caused by stage monitors, particularly at critical side angles. Its uniform supercardioid directionality and flat off-axis response mean that unwanted bleed from nearby instruments is captured in a natural, unobtrusive manner, allowing for greater control and clarity in the mix.

Performance and Sound Quality:

The 2028 offers outstanding performance under varying vocal dynamics, thanks to its wide dynamic range and fast transient response. With the ability to handle extreme SPL levels up to 160 dB peak and very low self noise, it suits both powerful and delicate vocalists. The result is a microphone that captures the full expression of the voice, remaining open and detailed without requiring extensive EQ. This ease of use translates to more efficient mixing and a more enjoyable performance for both audience and artist.

Wireless Microphones

Wireless microphones allow performers and presenters to move freely without being connected by cables. They are widely used in live performance, theatre, broadcast, and public speaking, offering convenience and flexibility on stage. Wireless systems vary in range and reliability, so choosing the right system depends on the environment, frequency management, and intended use.

Supercardioid

Supercardioid microphones use a tight directional pickup pattern that focuses strongly on sound from the front while rejecting much of the sound from the sides. They offer greater isolation than standard cardioid microphones, making them well suited to noisy environments.

Commonly used in live sound, broadcast and studio applications, supercardioid mics help reduce bleed from other instruments or speakers. Like hypercardioid microphones, they have a small rear pickup area, so careful placement is important to achieve the best clarity and control.

Wireless

Wireless microphones use radio transmission to send audio from the microphone to a receiver without a physical cable. They are widely used in live performance, broadcast, theatre, and presentations, allowing freedom of movement while maintaining clear and reliable sound.
