DPA Vocal Performance in a Mid-level Handheld

DPA's industry-leading speech and vocal reproduction come to an intrepid new handheld design in the 2028 supercardioid handheld mic. Crooners to screamers, slam poets to beatboxers, the 2028 is built to deliver 1:1 vocal reproduction of virtually any vocal performer. DPA's famously flat off-axis response gives the 2028 extremely natural sonics and a consistent pickup, even in the hands of dynamic singers. What's more, a supercardioid pickup pattern equips the 2028 with maximum gain before feedback and exemplary isolation, allowing you to get more of your voice — and not the rest of your band — in your wedges and ears. We at Sweetwater found the three-stage shockmount, pop filter, and grille to be extremely effective at reducing handling noise and plosives into the mic, eliminating distracting artifacts and overs from ruining performances. If you've been searching for DPA vocal performance from a mid-level handheld, the 2028 is definitely worth a look.

DPA 2028 Supercardioid Handheld Vocal Microphone Features:

  • Premier DPA vocal reproduction in comfortable handheld design
  • Suited to all types of singers, speakers, and vocalists
  • Flat off-axis response yields consistent pickup from dynamic singers
  • Supercardioid polar pattern maximizes isolation and gain before feedback
  • Three-stage shockmount/filter/grille neutralizes handling noise and plosives
  • Wired DPA handle with standard XLR output

Reviews

I like it
I really like this microphone, it produces very good and impressive sound.
Absolutely love this
Gosh I love love love this mic - I've used quite a few handheld, dynamic, condenser and ribbon mics, and I have to say this is hands down my fave - it just sounds great, really smooth, realistic, and the in-built HPF means you can get right up close without dealing with the excess of low end you would with other mics. I don't need to use an outboard HPF at all with this mic, which I would with practically every other mic I've used. The super cardioid pattern also helps eliminate feedback and unwanted noise, and allows you to concentrate on only what you want to capture. Depending on the mic preamp used it can sometimes tend a little towards sibilance, but no more so than any other mic I've used, and in fact less than a lot of them. It's easily manageable and again it's not in all circumstances, only really right up close with particular vocal types - definitely not a reason not to get this mic, just something to be aware of. All in all it is an amazing handheld mic, and I actually think it's great value in the sub $1k range.

My number 1
I've been using a EV96 microphone but I feel I needed a just a little more punch especially hitting low notes so after a conversation with my salesman Benjamin I decided to try this dpa. It was a bit better and stronger than the EV96.
I think I must add I'm running this through a Mackie profxv3 and EV zlx15 mains and zlx12 monitor clean clear and loud
Music background: Singer/ entertainer to backtrack music
Game-changer
I've used them all, or nearly so, for singer song-writer solo gigs to five and six piece bands with drummers and electric guitars. I love using condenser mics when I can, but so often they're not possible. Until the DPA 2028.
This is both the most forgiving (of poor technique), and the most utterly realistic I've used. Stellar accuracy. Incredibly smooth highs and lows. All while fighting feedback better than many dynamic mics.
Use this this thing at your peril. Everything else is a step down afterward.

A quality mic
I use this mic to sing-a-long with my keyboard in a small room. So for this amateurish situation, the mic seems to have a very good sound to it....not to be confused with my singing. The mic's amplifier/speaker is set off to the side
on the floor. Even in this close proximity, there is, at a substantial volume, no feedback. I attached a do-it-yourself on-off switch to the mic's XLR connector, as this mic does not have a built-in on-off switch: Most of my projects are instrumental.
