Lewitt DTP 640 REX Dual-Element Dynamic/Condenser Kick Drum Microphone

Lewitt DTP 640 REX Dual-Element Dynamic/Condenser Kick Drum Microphone

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.

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.

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.

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.
