MTP 540 DM / DMs Introduction

Thank you that you have opted for a LEWITT product. In this operating manual you will learn more about your LEWITT microphone, its handling

and its proper usage.

Music professionals know that it’s often the smallest details that make all the difference in vocal and instrumental recordings.

With our MTP series, we aim to exceed artists’ and audio engineers’ expectations of reproduction accuracy and isolation of the main sound

source. The new flagships among LEWITT's performance microphones – the MTP 840 DM and the 940 CM are true milestones of audio

technology.

All MTP microphones are professional-quality handheld dynamic and condenser performance microphones have been developed specifically

for the authentic, crystal-clear reproduction of vocals and are also well-suited for instrumental applications.

Customized frequency responses, a rugged construction, high gain before feedback and extremely low handling noise make all models of the

MTP series the perfect fit for any application, any performance and any setting.

LEWITT wishes you a lot of fun and success with this product! 02

MTP 540 DM / DMs The product

LEWITT’s MTP 540 DM and MTP 540 DMs are high-performance cardioid dynamic handheld

studio recordings and onstage use.

The MTP 540 DM and DMs combine the advanced technological features so essential to memorable and

authentic vocal reproduction, providing just the kind of performance you expect in a top-notch

professional dynamic microphone: the elastic shock-mount system effectively cuts down handling noise,

while a built-in spherical wind and pop filter compliments specially tailored frequency response to ensure

consistently rich and powerful output in any setting.

Connecting and Disconnecting the Microphone Cable

·Before establishing connection, make sure that the microphone and the component

(e.g. amplifier) are switched off.

·Lower the volume of the component (e.g. amplifier) before connecting the microphone.

·Insert the connector into the microphone socket. Align the key on the connector with

the groove in the microphone, and then push the connector into the microphone until

it clicks.

·To disconnect the cable from the microphone, pull the connector away from the

microphone while depressing the latch lock.

How to Use

·Set the switch to ON when using the microphone, set it to OFF when it is not in use (only

applicable if your microphone has an ON/OFF switch).

·When using the microphone, do not cover any part of the grille with your hand to ensure

best sound quality and accurate directivity characteristic.

Hints

1 In order to prevent feedback (howling):

·Lower the volume.

·Place the microphone so that it is not pointed

to the speaker and that there is a sufficient

distance between the microphone and the

speaker.

·Do not cover the lower part of the grille with

your hand.

2 Positioning the microphone close to the

sound source causes the so-called proximity

effect (a boost in the low frequency response). This phenomenon can be used to create a

richer and warmer bass sound.
