LEWITT MTP 840 DM Dynamic Microphone

Dynamic Microphone

Thanks to the dynamic performance of the MTP 840 DM microphone, LEWITT brings studio-grade performance to the stage. Suitable for all situations thanks to the selectable sensitivity level and multi-step high-pass filter, this microphone is capable of withstanding the highest levels of electromechanical and environmental stress typical of the most demanding tours and has been designed to be indestructible without any compromise on sound. This is the concept underlying MTP 840 DM. Effective transient frequency response, refined electronics and superior capsule design make MTP 840 DM an unmatchable tool for stage use. The highly innovative industrial design applied to the finest components ensures extremely low noise floor and extraordinary dynamic range in ACTIVE mode. The frequency response curve, expertly optimized for vocal recording applications, sculpts the sensational sound of this microphone. Numerous useful features make 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 requirements. The three-stage selectable preamplifier designed exclusively for MTP 840 DM enables capture without loss of accuracy even from the most distant sources. The LED system on MTP 840 DM, which can be disabled or enabled, allows easy verification of microphone settings even in dark conditions. This new flagship model of the MTP series carries the artist's voice in a very natural and decisive way, giving it the right presence without distorting its character. The directionality has been carefully designed across the entire frequency spectrum and provides maximum protection against potential feedback: the suspended capsule minimizes structural noise.
