Rugged and versatile instrument mic

The Lewitt MTP 440 DM is a cardioid dynamic microphone designed for a wide range of applications, both in the studio and on stage. It is particularly effective at capturing high SPL sources, such as snare hits, loud brass instruments, and blasting guitar cabinets, delivering a lively and powerful sound with excellent clarity and detail. The MTP 440 DM's high output level is particularly noteworthy when compared to similar dynamic microphones, as it cuts effortlessly through dense mixes on stage. Its durable zinc alloy construction, reinforced steel grille, and windscreen ensure both longevity and reliability, even in demanding live environments. Supplied with a robust mic clip that fits standard mounts and an elegant faux leather carrying pouch, the MTP 440 DM is ready for any performance setting.

Optimised for clarity

The Lewitt MTP 440 DM's meticulously tailored frequency response is perfectly suited to a wide variety of instruments. Featuring a prominent low-end roll-off, a presence boost in the midrange, and an extended high-frequency response, it comfortably captures crisp attacks and natural harmonics. The cardioid polar pattern focuses the sound source while minimising unwanted stage noise and reflections, making it a reliable go-to microphone among live sound engineers. Its sensitivity of 2.5mV/Pa delivers higher output gain compared to other models, reducing the need for excessive preamp gain. The internal shock mount protects the capsule from mechanical vibrations, ensuring a clean audio capture even in high-SPL environments.

Ideal for studio and live use

Whether in a controlled studio setting or on a high-energy stage, the Lewitt MTP 440 DM is an industry-favourite solution among musicians and engineers alike. It performs exceptionally well on snare drums, capturing the fast transient attack followed by a full-bodied tone, and rivalling far more expensive industry-standard microphones. Guitar amplifiers also benefit from its articulate midrange, which accurately captures tonal character without excessive coloration. Brass instruments, such as trumpets and saxophones, project with clarity and warmth, cutting through the mix with ease. The MTP 440 DM thus offers a cost-effective alternative to renowned leading American brands, delivering comparable performance at a more accessible price point.

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.

High SPL specialist

The Lewitt MTP 440 DM thrives in high-pressure sound environments, handling the loudest sources such as snare hits, cranked guitar amps, and full-blast brass performances without distortion. It maintains tonal integrity even at extreme volume levels, always delivering a professional and balanced sound. Its sturdy zinc alloy body and steel mesh grille provide excellent protection against rough handling and accidental impacts, night after night, in a live venue. Its use is not limited to the stage, however - it also delivers excellent performances in tamer studio environments, where its sonic qualities are appreciated by many recording specialists. Overall, the affordably priced Lewitt MTP 440 DM is a genuine workhorse that will fulfil the most intense stage applications and also be of great use in a studio.

Great dynamic mic for heavy vocals

Trobec Grindcore Bandcamp 19.11.2021

I only used this mic for heavy vocals in recording and in live sessions. Our vocalist loves cupping the mic and when he was using my Shure beta the feedback was just too much to handle.

But that's not the reason that I bought this mic, Glen Fricker (SMG studios on youtube) recommended it, and I'm happy that I took his advice.

With the beta, my screams and growls sound more "black metal" and sound a bit distant, which is great, gives a great atmosphere. But with the lewitt, man, the vocals just hit you in the face. Great for death metal, punchy as hell, cuts right through the mix.

Can't say anything about recording guitars, need to try that out when I have a treated room to do so, but for now, I'm happy with the product.

It also seems sturdy and VERY well built. It's heavy and nothing seems cheap on this mic. It's a great mic, no cons to it.

Great all rounder instrument mic

Dejan1972 25.01.2024

Imagine SM57, but without annoying lack of low-mid range. My go-to snare mic, but this one performs great with whatever you throw at it in live environment.

Great microphone

Richardtree 28.07.2021

This mic is suppose to be a clone of the legendary SM57 but in truth is quite a competitor.
In my recording experience and owning an SM57 I can say that the Lewitt catches more frequencies on the middle-bass range. The 57 instead more on the middle-high range.
To me this is a great combo.
