LEWITT MTP 5 — a dynamic live microphone

LEWITT has released a cardioid microphone in two versions for live sound and recording of vocals, speech, podcasts and instruments.

The microphone has a sturdy all-metal body and a grille protection ring. Together with capsule placement, the ring limits the effect of performers cupping the grille. A rubber capsule suspension improves handling comfort. The design also reduces sibilance more than other stage microphones. Off-axis high-frequency rejection reduces pickup of instruments such as stage cymbals.
