The 2028 was designed to deliver the same excellent sound as the flagship d:facto™ model. It has a newly developed, non-replaceable capsule as well as a specially developed shockmount and pop filter.

The microphone has a fixed polar pattern. This is a modified supercardioid with the uniform off-axis behaviour for which DPA is known. This gives the microphone a very high gain before feedback and makes it easier to handle crosstalk from other instruments in the immediate vicinity, as the sound is recorded unaltered.

Due to the expected wear during live performances, both the outer basket and the inner pop filter of the 2028 can be removed and cleaned.

The DPA 2028 offers:

• Superior sound quality
• Extremely high gain before starting feedback
• Uniform and controlled directivity
• A robust construction for stage use
