MICROPHONES FOR LIVE AND RECORDED VOCAL PERFORMANCES

Voice is probably the most familiar sound source of all. Our ears can easily detect whether it sounds authentic or not.

You need an incredibly good handheld microphone and playback chain to make a vocal performance sound similar to what we hear naturally. Not only is the recognizable quality a concern, but other special phenomena occur around the human voice that calls for special attention when selecting the right microphone for the job.

The d:facto™ Vocal Microphone is engineered especially for vocal performances onstage. It captures electrifying stage acts and accurately replicates a singer's voice transparently, consistently and thrillingly. The mic is perfected for use in sound reinforcement as well as recording applications. It offers natural sound and high separation from nearby sound sources.

“We were struggling to find a vocal mic that wasn’t super colored and offered a really flat sound. The d:facto fixed all these issues and provided context and clarity.”

The 2028 Vocal Microphone is designed for the unique challenges of live concerts and stage performances. It is a flexible handheld vocal mic, which provides transparent, fantastic vocals to performers from a wide range of markets including live, HoW, broadcast and more.

The 2028 needs no (or very little) EQ to sound just like you are standing next to the singer listening to their performance. This allows the singer to use their voice just as if no mic was present, which puts less strain on them. In addition, it allows sound engineers to spend their time shaping the sound experience rather than covering up issues due to artifacts. This amazing transparency is unique for DPA vocal mics.

“The 2028 is exactly what you would expect from a DPA microphone; transparent, uncolored, musical and reliable. The vocalists I put it in front of were all ready to take it on the road with them!”

Our headset microphones offer accurate, natural voice intelligibility and extremely high SPL capabilities. Users can both speak and sing into the mic with no hint of distortion. The microphone capsule is also optimized for low distortion as well as humidity resistance. Available in a wide range of variants, including capsule type, mounting systems, boom lengths and colors.

Classically trained opera singers are used to using their voice to fill up the hall. These singers have an immense vocal range and can sing at extremely high SPL, which can cause distortion.
