DPA Microphones will debut its new 2028 supercardioid vocal microphone for live applications to the U.S. pro audio market at the upcoming AES Convention in New York City (Booth 633). The company will also highlight its new 4097 CORE supercardioid choir mic at the show.
“DPA continually strives to provide the most advanced technology and best sound possible to meet the growing needs of current and potential customers,” says Christopher Spahr, director of sales and marketing, DPA U.S. “Our new 2028 vocal mic and 4097 choir mic solutions are the latest representation of our mission. From churches to concerts, DPA is proud to offer ground-breaking solutions that continue to push the limits of modern technology.”
The 2028 is designed to deliver the same sonic qualities as other DPA mics solutions, requiring little or no EQ. Offered in three variants — a wired XLR handle and two wireless configurations — the 2028 has a new fixed-position capsule as well as a specially designed shock-mount and pop filter. In addition, both the outer grille and the inner pop filter of the 2028 can be detached and rinsed.
The 4097 choir mic has been outfitted with the same sonic qualities as the brand’s 4098 supercardioid microphones. Configured with a MicroDot connector and a DPA adapter, it allows the user to go wired or wireless.
Equipped with CORE by DPA amplifier technology designed to lower distortion and expand dynamic range. Further, it includes three shock mounts to secure the rumble caused by movement on stage and provide dampening at a level not seen before in similar types of mics.
