LEWITT MTP 840 DM Dynamic Microphone

Dynamic Microphone

With the dynamic performance of the MTP 840 DM microphone, LEWITT brings studio performance to the stage. Suitable for all situations thanks to its selectable sensitivity level and multi-step high-pass filter, this microphone can withstand the highest levels of electromechanical and environmental stress typical of the most grueling tours and has been designed to be indestructible without any compromise to sound. This is the concept behind the MTP 840 DM. Effective transient frequency response, refined electronics, and a superlative capsule design make the MTP 840 DM an inimitable tool for stage use. The highly innovative industrial design applied to the best components ensures extremely low background noise and an extraordinary dynamic range in ACTIVE mode. The frequency response curve, expertly optimized for vocal recording applications, sculpts the sensational sound of this microphone. Numerous very useful features make the MTP 840 DM an extremely versatile and unparalleled product both in the studio and in live applications. The three-level high-pass filter controls the proximity effect, allowing the microphone to adapt to the artist's vocal needs. The three-stage selectable preamplifier designed exclusively for the MTP-840 DM allows for accurate pick-up even of more distant sound sources. The LED system on the MTP 840 DM, which can be disabled or enabled, allows for easy verification of microphone settings even in dark conditions. This new flagship model of the MTP series literally transports the artist's voice very naturally and decisively, giving it the right presence without distorting its character. The directivity has been carefully designed across the entire frequency spectrum and provides maximum protection against feedback: The suspended capsule minimizes structural noise.
