Description
The Lewitt DTP 340 REX is a dynamic instrument microphone designed specifically for kick drum and bass applications. Its dynamic moving-coil transducer delivers focused, powerful sound, while its switchable sound characteristics allow the microphone to be optimized for the demands of kick drum recording and live performance.
An integrated EQ emphasizes frequencies from 70 to 150 Hz and 3 to 5 kHz, adding low-end boom and upper-frequency definition to create a massive, punchy kick drum sound. This tailored response helps achieve an immediately usable sound without requiring extensive external equalization.
The DTP 340 REX features a cardioid polar pattern that focuses on the intended source while effectively rejecting sound from the sides and rear. A stand adapter provides easy mounting, while the included transport bag makes the microphone convenient to carry and protect between studio, rehearsal, and live sound applications.
