LEWITT MTP 940 CM Condenser Microphone

Condenser Microphone

Studio performance on stage – only the top model of the MTP series can give you that. Only with the MTP 40 CM is it possible to guarantee cutting-edge technological standards in live and studio applications with a single product, the most innovative and complete condenser microphone ever made – a milestone in sound engineering. The externally polarized large-diaphragm capsule gives the voice harmony, infinite detail, and authenticity. The sound source passes through the microphone with clarity and authenticity and is processed with impressive feedback resistance and almost total elimination of unwanted breath noises, popping, and all kinds of noise generated by use. The MTP 40 CM develops a dynamic range of 135 dB – the widest ever achieved by a live microphone – thanks to its high headroom and the Direct Coupling circuit design, a proprietary LEWITT technology that allows for a self-noise of only dB. For this reason, the MTP 40 CM is also the ideal choice for the studio, where the goal is to create a live atmosphere accompanied by a very high degree of acoustic perfection. The technical characteristics and possibilities offered by the MTP 40 CM make it a product capable of excelling among the most highly rated professional microphones. 3 different selectable polar patterns – extended cardioid, cardioid, and supercardioid – simplify recording from the most diverse sound sources; from solo vocals to choirs up to the classic unplugged live with a singer and an acoustic instrument. A three-level high-pass filter effectively controls the proximity effect, allowing the best possible adaptation to the recorded source. And the three-level selectable pre-attenuator ensures safe use even in environments with very high SPL. The LED system, which can be disabled or enabled by the user, provides great simplicity for controlling settings and operating parameters even in dimly lit environments. The sturdy construction of the microphone makes it ready even for the most intensive applications, such as grueling large international tours. For all those who dream of a microphone with studio performance on stage or a live atmosphere in the studio and uncompromising quality, the MTP 40 CM is the right choice. The excellent synergy between versatility, innovation, and great attention to sound makes it a new benchmark in the world of high-end microphones.
