LEWITT MTP 550 DM is a professional cardioid dynamic vocal microphone engineered for rigorous live sound reinforcement and stage applications. Unlike the "DMs" iteration, this model purposely omits the on/off switch, completely eliminating the risk of accidental signal dropouts caused by a performer mid-show. The capsule is meticulously tuned to deliver a highly present, articulate vocal tone that cuts through dense stage mixes, ensuring vocals sit naturally without the need for extensive front-of-house equalization.
Maximum Gain Before Feedback and Isolation
Operating in high-SPL environments requires strict control over stage bleed and microphone stability. The MTP 550 DM features a highly uniform cardioid polar pattern that precisely rejects off-axis noise and instrument bleed, providing monitor and FOH engineers with exceptional gain-before-feedback margins. Furthermore, an advanced internal dual-shock mount system utilizes specialized rubber suspensions to decouple the capsule from the chassis. This design drastically attenuates handling noise, low-frequency rumble, and mechanical vibrations transferred from mic stands.
Tour-Proof Reliability
Live production equipment demands uncompromising physical durability. The microphone's body is constructed from die-cast zinc, paired with a resilient spring-steel wire mesh grille designed to withstand the drops and impacts common in touring environments. An integrated multi-layer pop filter and windscreen internally tame harsh plosives and breath noise, ensuring a clean, artifact-free audio signal continuously reaches the mixing console.
