Innovative dual-capsule microphone

The Lewitt DTP 640 REX, the flagship model of the company's DTP Percussion Series, is designed to capture the full impact and depth of kick drums and other low-frequency instruments. Its advanced dual-capsule design features both a dynamic and a condenser capsule within a single microphone - each with a dedicated output. This allows for extensive tonal shaping, enabling users to blend the attack and resonance of the kick drum with precision. Three switchable sound profiles and two attenuation pads further enhance its versatility for both studio and live applications. The Lewitt DTP 640 REX ships with its dedicated mic clip, a five-pin to dual three-pin XLR Y-cable, and an elegant black faux-leather carrying pouch, ensuring convenience and portability.

Two microphones in one

Housed in a rugged die-cast metal body, the Lewitt DTP 640 REX features two perfectly phase-aligned cardioid capsules. The large-diaphragm dynamic capsule captures the fast attack of the kick drum, while the small-diaphragm electret condenser capsule to captures its body resonance. The included Y-cable transmits the signals separately to the preamp, allowing independent processing and blending. With a sensitivity of 0.4mV/Pa for the dynamic capsule and 2mV/Pa for the condenser, the microphone delivers a high level of detail with minimal interference. Additionally, the Lewitt DTP 640 REX can handle extreme sound pressure levels up to 150dB SPL without distortion (using the -10dB and -20dB pads), delivering a well-defined sound even under the most demanding conditions.

In the studio or on stage

Designed for professional sound engineers and musicians, the DTP 640 REX is a versatile microphone that excels in both studio and live environments. Its dual capsules faithfully capture the complex character of kick drums, and its three selectable sound profiles provide added flexibility. In neutral mode, both capsules' signal is unprocessed and delivers natural response, while the "Dynamic EFR" mode enhances the attack frequencies between 3kHz and 5kHz, adding clarity and definition, and the "Dual EFR" mode boosts low-end frequencies between 70Hz and 150Hz, reinforcing the depth and resonance of the kick drum. The included mic clip ensures a rapid and straightforward setup, and its robust build guarantees long term intensive use, whether on the road or in the studio.

About Lewitt

Founded in Vienna in 2010, the midsize Austrian company Lewitt describes itself as the world's fastest-growing microphone brand, and indeed Lewitt has quickly made a name for itself among producers. The reason: The firm has a passionate team that produces remarkably transparent-sounding condenser microphones with low self-noise. Development takes place in Austria, but by producing the microphones in China, among other factors, Lewitt can offer its high-quality products at extremely low prices.

Fine-tuned tonal control

Each capsule of the Lewitt DTP 640 REX has a distinct role, and blending their outputs provides a wide range of tonal options that will suit any recording or live performance scenario. The dynamic capsule excels at delivering a punchy, tight kick sound with pronounced midrange, while the condenser capsule captures the resonant bass and fast transient attack of the drum skin. Further customisation is possible via the three profiles: Flat Mode provides a natural, balanced capture from both capsules, allowing engineers to blend signals to taste; Dynamic EFR Mode boosts low-end punch and high-end attack, ideal for live settings; and Dual EFR Mode applies distinct filtering to both capsules, isolating the low-end boom and high-end click, ensuring a mix-ready take straight from the microphone.

the perfect guitar cab mic happens to be a bassdrum mic

Dreetn 09.01.2025

slap this in front of your guitar cab, no more faze issues. Mix the 2 signals from the 640 to balance the overall sound. If needed add some taste with an extra 57 or 421, most likely you won't bother.

Micro Top, Zubehör Flop

Rexhe 16.10.2022

Das Mikro selbst ist Top. Super Sound, Top verarbeitet. Leider ist das Zubehör ein Drama. Die Tasche viel zu klein. Da muss man schon überlegen wir man das Mikro reinlegt damit man es auch zu bekommt. Das Y Kabel passt da leider nicht mehr rein. Ich würde gerne das Kabel und Mikro zusammen lassen. Zu gross ist die Gefahr dass man plötzlich ohne dem Spezialkabel da steht. Wenn das Kabel weg ist, wäre das Mikro unbrauchbar.

Weiters ist das Y Kabel viel zu steif, und hat einen viel zu geringen Querschnitt und Isolierung. ( hab ich jetzt nicht gemessen). Es wirkt aber mehr als billig ( richtig trashig).

Gran versatilidad

Marc Hawking 26.01.2024

Basicamente son 2 micros en 1 con las capsulas en fase. Lleva 3 posiciones de configuracion. He comparado el sonido neutro con el beta52 y el d112 y no convence demasiado. Pero al cambiar a la configuracion 3 (mas cuerpo condensador y medios agudos dinamico) si que tenemos un gran mlsomido. La construccion es muy buena, incluso pesa demasiado, necesitaras un pie de micro fuerte. Precio-calidad excelente teniendo en cuenta que son 2 micros configurables y te da mucha versatilidad

Excellent micro !

Cruxinator 15.08.2023

Belle surprise que ce micro ! Très robuste et avec plusieurs réglages de phases, il fait parfaitement le job !
Le combo dynamique / statique est très interessant et permet d'avoir de l'attaque et de faire respirer le kick.
Cependant, il ne conviendra peut etre pas à tout les styles de kick.
Pour un groupe de rock / metal, les EQ et compresseur que j'utilise sont très violent ! En studio, pour ces mêmes styles, il va légèrement manquer d'attaque et de bas. Mais ca marche tout de même ! Avec un peu de temps de réglage on arrive à de belles choses.
Pour des styles plus calmes, il fera parfaitement le job !
Voila pourquoi il perd une étoile sur ma note, en plus du fait que le micro est lourd. Vous avez intérêt à super bien serrer vos pieds de micros sinon il tombera...
