Specially designed for toms...

The Lewitt DTP 340 TT is a compact supercardioid dynamic microphone optimised for toms, but will perform equally well on snares, percussion instruments, and guitar cabinets. Its short, durable build length (measuring just 94mm) and sturdy wire mesh provide excellent protection, facilitating close-miking for detailed and impactful recordings. The optimised frequency response ensures that the full dynamic range of the tom is captured with precision, while the supercardioid pattern offers excellent feedback resistance and minimises off-axis noise. The robust zinc alloy housing ensures durability in demanding live or studio environments, and the supplied accessories - which include a rim mount, a mic clip, and a leather storage pouch - allow for a quick and easy setup.

...equally suited to percussion and guitars cabs

The DTP 340 TT's frequency response has been meticulously tailored to capture the nuances and dynamic range of toms and other percussion instruments. A slight boost between 80Hz and 200Hz enhances body and depth, and additional peaks between 3kHz and 10kHz accentuate attack and transient details, which are captured with remarkable clarity. The supercardioid polar pattern ensures a focused sound capture, effectively rejecting bleed from nearby sources -ideal for close-miking drums. A sturdy internal suspension protects the capsule from mechanical vibrations, and the reinforced mesh grille provides decent protection against accidental stick hits, ensuring long-term durability and performance. These same design elements make the DTP 340 TT an excellent choice for guitar amplifiers, where it faithfully reproduces rich harmonic detail and aggressive tonal characteristics at high SPLs.

For stage and studio

The rugged construction of the DTP 340 TT makes it an obvious choice for live applications, while its audio qualities deliver excellent studio results. Its supercardioid polar pattern maintains a clear separation between the recorded elements with minimal bleed, ensuring a clean and well-defined sound, and the included rim mounts provide a fast, secure setup and free up valuable stage space by eliminating the need for bulky mic stands. The microphone's transformerless design and absence of humbucking coils provide an uncoloured, direct sound free from unwanted interference and its high SPL handling capability ensures distortion-free capture of even the loudest sources, making it a reliable tool for demanding audio environments, whether on stage, in the studio, or both.

About Lewitt

Founded in Vienna in 2010, the midsize Austrian company Lewitt describes itself as the world's fastest-growing microphone brand, and indeed Lewitt has quickly made a name for itself among producers. The reason: The firm has a passionate team that produces remarkably transparent-sounding condenser microphones with low self-noise. Development takes place in Austria, but by producing the microphones in China, among other factors, Lewitt can offer its high-quality products at extremely low prices.

Flexible mounting options

Designed with flexability in mind, the Lewitt DTP 340 TT comes with two distinct mounting options, adaptable to a variety of scenarios. The rim mount clips directly onto the tom or snare rim, streamlining setups, and reducing stage clutter. For studio environments, mounting the microphone on a standard mic stand is recommended to isolate vibrations transmitted through the drum shell, ensuring the cleanest possible recordings. Whether mounted on a rim or a stand, the DTP 340 TT consistently delivers professional-grade results, making it a versatile and indispensable addition to any drummer's or engineer's toolkit.

Sounds good but not ergonomic

Edan 05.08.2021

I've only used the mic for 2 shows so these are more like initial thoughts.

The mic sounds good, it's nothing exceptional but it works for toms and is comparable to the Sennheiser E604 which I believe is industry standard. It has a scooped sound, so I'm not sure it would be suitable as an all-rounder dynamic.

The issue I have is with the mic clip, in my opinion it's far too long. It doesn't matter on a mic stand, but if you want to use the included drum mount (or a different mount, I tried a few) you'll need 8 inches clearance above the drum skin. For the drummers I work with this is far too much as it interferes with cymbal placement, and a standard clip won't fit the mic so I don't know how to solve this. For comparison, an SM57 on the same mount needs 5" clearance, E604 requires around 4".

I hope this helps someone!

Amazing quality for the price you pay

Bigbogh 03.04.2022

I purchased 2 of these.
Very punchy sound, the clamps that come with the mic are fine but if you like isolating your microphones from vibrations then you better use a stand.
These Microphones are very good for rock
