The LEWITT DTP 640 REX is a dual-element instrument microphone designed specifically for kick drums and other bass-heavy sources. It combines a dynamic moving-coil capsule and a permanently polarized condenser capsule in a single housing, giving you two complementary microphone elements for capturing powerful low-end impact and detailed attack.

Both capsules feature a neutral frequency response in their standard configuration, while three switchable sound characteristics provide different combinations of low-frequency weight and upper-frequency definition. The dynamic capsule can boost low frequencies, while the condenser capsule can remain neutral or provide additional low-frequency emphasis depending on the selected setting.

Separate outputs for the dynamic and condenser capsules provide independent access to each element, giving engineers greater control over the final kick drum sound. A cardioid polar pattern helps isolate the desired source, while the included audio cable and transport bag make the DTP 640 REX ready for professional recording and live sound applications.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the Lewitt DTP 640 REX designed for?

The DTP 640 REX is a dual-element kick drum microphone designed for kick drums and other bass-heavy sources.

What type of capsules does the DTP 640 REX use?

It combines a dynamic moving-coil capsule and a permanently polarized condenser capsule in a single housing.

Can the two capsules be used separately?

Yes. The DTP 640 REX provides separate outputs for the dynamic and condenser capsules, allowing them to be recorded and mixed independently.

What sound characteristics does the DTP 640 REX offer?

It provides three switchable sound characteristics: neutral response from both elements, low-frequency enhancement from the dynamic element, or enhanced low and 4–6 kHz frequencies.

What polar pattern does the DTP 640 REX use?

Both capsule elements use a cardioid polar pattern for focused pickup and effective rejection of unwanted sound.

What is included with the DTP 640 REX?

The microphone includes an audio cable and a transport bag.
