Microcassette system
Dh 2028
portable digital dictation device

As of: January 2013

Dh 2028

Available for the foreseeable future

In order to support customers who work with the microcassette system, Grundig Business Systems
will continue to offer portable and desktop devices for microcassettes. Even though this requires a
relatively high investment in development to maintain the product as well as some adaptation
because of the components involved, customers will be able to continue use their trusted products
for the foreseeable future.

Component adaptations for the Dh 2028

In the course of the necessary component adaptations, the mechanical tape counter and the ear
plug socket must be dispensed with.
The mechanical counters in audio recording devices have been replaced by displays and electronic
counters in all areas. This means, unfortunately, that the typical tape counter on microcassette
devices is no longer produced anywhere in the world.
The implementation of an electronic tape counter with a display such as that found in a desktop
dictation device could only be made available at substantial cost, which would unnecessarily raise
the price for our customers, only a few of whom use the tape counter.
Virtually no ear plugs suitable for the 2.5 mm ear plug socket used in the Dh 2028 remain available
on the market. Unfortunately, the Dh 2028 housing leaves insufficient room for a socket of 3.5 mm
diameter, so the socket must also be dispensed with. Customer surveys, however, show us that this
feature is rarely used anyway.
In practice, these two measures, which are unfortunately necessary to keep microcassette devices
available in the long term, will not affect customers, and will allow Grundig Business Systems to
continue to offer dictation devices and accessories to customers who wish to keep working with
microcassettes.
From the beginning of 2013, the Dh 2028 portable microcassette dictation device will be
delivered without tape counter and ear plug socket.
