LEWITT DTP 340 TT is a dynamic supercardioid instrument microphone engineered specifically for the accurate capture of tom-toms, snare drums, and percussion. Its custom-tuned capsule delivers a fast transient response and a highly focused, punchy tonal profile. This structural design significantly streamlines the process of placing percussive elements within a dense live or studio mix, inherently reducing the reliance on aggressive equalization at the console.
Maximum Isolation in Multi-Mic Setups
In complex drum tracking scenarios, high-frequency cymbal bleed is the mixing engineer's primary adversary. The DTP 340 TT employs a strict supercardioid polar pattern that drastically minimizes spill from adjacent hardware and cymbals. This exceptional off-axis rejection allows audio professionals to apply heavier compression and execute precise noise gating on the toms without introducing unwanted artifacts or false triggering across the drum bus.
Extreme SPL Handling and Low-Profile Design
Close-miking percussion inherently generates massive sound pressure levels capable of overloading standard transducers. The DTP 340 TT flawlessly handles extreme SPLs without capsule clipping, meticulously preserving the immediate attack of the stick and the low-end resonance of the drum shell. Its highly compact form factor enables swift, low-profile placement, keeping the microphone safely out of the drummer's strike zone. Housed in a heavy-duty die-cast body with a hardened steel mesh grille, it is built to survive direct hits and rigorous touring abuse.
