About: Lewitt DTP 640 REX Dual-Element Instrument Microphone

Bass drum microphone with two capsules.

• Dual-element instrument microphone
• Dynamic and condenser capsule in one housing
• Separate outputs for both capsules
• For kick drum and other bass-heavy sources
• Three switchable sound characteristics
• Cardioid polar pattern

Your mic for double-power kick drum sound.

• The DTP 640 REX is a dual-element microphone specifically designed to capture the sound of your drums and percussion instruments. It consists out of two phase-aligned capsules, a condenser and a dynamic one. You can switch between three sounds for more flexibility for studio and live applications.
• Unique sound for bass drums and other bass-heavy instruments.

Dual-element kick drum microphone - Two capsules for the best of your source.

• We put two phase-aligned microphones in a single housing.  The dynamic side ensures accurate attack reproduction of the kick drum, while the condenser element captures the drum's low end. Each element has a dedicated output.
• This enables you to shape the kick drum sound in unique ways.

For kick drum and other bass-heavy sources - Cuts a good figure on your drums and bass.

• With the DTP 640 REX, you get massive yet clear kick drum and bass recordings, in the studio and on stage.
• The capsule is specifically designed to replicate low frequencies with precision and punch.

Three switchable sound characteristics - Hear and feel that kick.

• Dynamic =//= Condenser 
  • Both elements with neutral frequency response.
• Dynamic +//= Condenser 
  • Dynamic element boosts low frequencies; condenser stays neutral.
• Dynamic +//+ Condenser
  • Dynamic boosts the range of 4-6 kHz, condenser boosts low frequencies. 

Sturdy metal housing - This mic is built to last.

• The DTP 640 REX features a hardened hexagonal ruthenium-galvanized steel mesh grille and a solid die-cast metal body.
