That sound...
You know the one. The sound that sounds like you. Because when you're on stage, it's you that people want to hear. You don't want colouration or artefacts taking anything away from your performance. With the 2028, you don't have to worry about that. Capturing the natural tonality of your voice, whether it's soft and delicate, or loud and aggressive, the 2028 delivers your performance with absolute transparency. No over-hyped presence, and no booming lows. Just your voice in all its glory. Because that's what makes you who you are, and you deserve to be heard.
Born to perform
No matter where you are, the DPA 2028 is at home. Your new companion has been built with live performances in mind. From pubs and clubs to festival stages, the 2028 deals with all of those unique little challenges that can make performing difficult. Its supercardioid design makes off-axis bleed from close-proximity sound sources simple to deal with. With DPA's famously flat off-axis response, your sound remains consistent throughout the frequency spectrum. This helps your voice shine through, whilst simultaneously making your engineer's job a much less stressful affair...
The other great thing about the 2028's polar pattern is the incredibly high gain-before-feedback capabilities. You can make sure that your voice takes centre stage without having to worry about feedback issues. No matter where you're performing, you can be sure that your vocals will shine. Plus, as well as the newly designed capsule, the 2028 also boasts a new purpose-built shock mount and pop filter. This ensures that handling and impact noise are kept to a minimum, even throughout the most energetic of performances.
Phenomenal flexibility
The 2028 isn't just a one trick pony. Wired or wireless, handheld or stand-mounted. The 2028 comes in a range of configurations to suit a huge variety of situations. Plus, it's just as comfortable in the hands of presenters and broadcasters as it is with singers and vocal performers. No matter how you plan to use your 2028, DPA's incredible design ensures that your sound is the best it can be.
Utilising DPA's SL1 adapter, this version of the 2028 allows for seamless integration with your Shure, Sony, or Lectrosonics wireless system. The head simply threads onto your system's handheld wireless transmitter, giving you that signature DPA sound without tying yourself down with cables.
Please note: This version of the 2028 cannot be used in a wired configuration. For wired use, a version of the 2028 with DPA's ergonomic wired handle is available separately.
