DPA 2028-B-SE2 – Microphone Capsule for Sennheiser Wireless Systems

DPA 2028-B-SE2 is a premium microphone capsule designed for use with Sennheiser wireless systems (2000, 6000, 9000, Evolution, and D1 series). It is the ideal choice for professional vocalists and sound engineers who demand natural sound reproduction, high feedback resistance, and uncompromising reliability during live performances.

Key Features

The capsule employs a supercardioid directional pattern, focusing precisely on the vocalist’s voice while minimizing unwanted stage noise. It provides excellent rejection at the rear and the critical 140–150° angles, where stage monitors are often placed and where feedback is most likely to occur with inferior microphones.

Transparent and Natural Sound

DPA is renowned for delivering exceptionally transparent sound, and the 2028 capsule continues this legacy. With an exceptionally flat off-axis response, the microphone preserves the natural timbre even for sounds arriving from the sides of the stage. In practice, this translates to less corrective EQ and greater creative freedom for the engineer.

Applications in Live and Broadcast

The DPA 2028-B-SE2 is built primarily for professional live use but also performs equally well in broadcast and studio environments. With the ability to handle extreme sound pressure levels up to 160 dB SPL peak, it excels with powerful rock vocals as well as more delicate acoustic performances, always capturing every detail faithfully.
