Lewitt Condenser Microphone for Performers (MTP-940-CM)

Lewitt's MTP Performance Series offers real studio performance on stage. The MTP 940 CM is a milestone of audio technology that meets the highest standards on stage and in the studio. The externally biased large-diaphragm capsule lends the lead voice the necessary presence in an infinitely subtle, detailed, and authentic way. The source comes through clearly and authentically, processed with impressive feedback resistance and with undesired breath, popping, and handling noise efficiently reduced to a minimum.

The MTP 940 CM boasts a 135 dB dynamic range, the widest ever achieved in a live microphone, due to its high headroom and Lewitt's own Direct Coupling circuit design, which makes possible an unbeatably low self-noise level of just 9 dB. This makes the MTP 940 CM ideal for use in the studio, whenever the goal is to create a live atmosphere with the highest degree of acoustic precision.

The MTP 940's comprehensive features and settings outshine those of more than a few purebred studio microphones. Three switchable polar patterns - wide cardioid, cardioid, and super cardioid - ease recording of the most diverse sources, from lead vocals to choirs and on to classic unplugged situations with a singer and an acoustic instrument. A three-step high-pass filter makes it possible to directly influence the proximity effect, adapting it in the best-possible way to the sound source. The three-position switchable pre-attenuation pad guarantees use even in extreme SPL environments.

LEDs that can be switched off if desired, mean that checking settings quick and easy - a boon in dark environments and helpful in ensuring a fast and trouble-free setup process. The mic's extremely stable and rugged construction can take even the roughest everyday touring knocks with no problem.

The MTP 940 CM features a 1-inch externally biased, dual-system capsule with ultra-thin, gold-layered low-mass diaphragms, ensuring accurate transient response for nuanced and authentic sound. It also boasts a flat frequency response for natural sound and three consistent directional characteristics for maximum flexibility in a variety of live and recording applications. Additionally, the superior dynamic range of 135 dB-A and exceptionally low self-noise of 9 dB-A make it an exceptional choice for both live and studio use.
