DPA 2028-B-B01 Vocal Microphone

DPA 2028-B-B01 Vocal Microphone

The supercardioid capsule is designed for natural vocal reproduction in live performances. This version uses a wired XLR connection.

A smooth off-axis response keeps spill from nearby instruments sounding natural. The directional pattern also attenuates unwanted stage sound.

The proximity effect changes the bass level: moving closer gives the voice more warmth, while increasing the distance reduces bass. The response is factory-tuned for a distance of 12 cm.

A 48 V phantom supply is required for the stated performance. The microphone can operate at lower supply voltages with reduced specifications.

Main Features

• A zinc-alloy body with a black chrome finish and a removable grille support stage use and cleaning.
• Strong rejection from the rear and at 140–150° helps reduce the risk of feedback from stage monitors.
• Integrated three-stage pop protection reduces air-blast noise. Outdoors or with stronger wind and plosives, an additional external windscreen may be needed.
• A 117 dB dynamic range and fast transient response capture quiet vocal detail as well as sudden peaks.
