Application and use

The 2028 Vocal Microphone is a professional stage mic with extraor-
dinary natural sound, high separation from nearby sound sources and 
very high SPL handling.

The mic features exceptionally controlled directional quality. This, com-
bined with superb definition and true dynamics, makes the 2028 the 
perfect match for all types of live performances. 

Grid and windscreen

The 2028 has a very effective 3-step pop protection grid incorporated, 
which removes unwanted pop noise. When used outdoors or with 
artists that create pronounced wind or pop sounds, it may be neces-
sary to add an additional external windscreen.

Phantom power 

(For wired version)

The 2028 is designed to apply its full specifications at the st48 
volt phantom power (± 4 V) but will work at lower supply voltages with 
reduced specifications.

 

Cleaning

Keep the microphone dry – away from water and cleaning fluids. Do not 
use sprays or fluids containing chemicals that could remove static electricity 
on or near the microphone. This could cause permanent damage.

To clean the grid properly, without risk of causing damage to the capsule, 
you have to unscrew it from the microphone body. Be aware that the 
mic capsule itself should not be cleaned in any way, as it will influence the 
performance.

The grid consists of two parts: the outer black metal mesh and an inner 
foam windscreen. Both parts may be cleaned separately.
