The Lewitt MTP W950 handheld microphone delivers exceptional studio-grade sound quality in live environments, combining precision and versatility to meet the highest demands of professional vocalists. Featuring a removable 1" dual-diaphragm condenser capsule, it offers switchable cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns with excellent off-axis rejection, making it ideal for loud environments. The versatile and sturdy design includes a "cupping-safe" mechanism, a built-in dual-layer pop and wind filter, and a highly effective internal suspension system to minimise handling noise. The MTP W950 is also compatible with a range of wireless systems from leading manufacturers, providing the flexibility to perform with or without cables. A semi-rigid transport case and microphone clip are included for added convenience.
Designed for maximum adaptability, the Lewitt MTP W950 enhances vocal clarity, presence, and brilliance, with tailored frequency response curves for both cardioid and supercardioid modes. The cardioid pattern offers maximum rejection at 180°, while the supercardioid mode provides superior isolation at 120° and 240° off-axis. The microphone's proximity effect is carefully managed, ensuring a consistent tonal balance regardless of distance. This makes it easier to position stage monitors while maintaining excellent feedback rejection and tonal consistency. The built-in 120Hz low-cut filter and 12dB pad allow for further refinement, ensuring optimum performance across different stage setups and vocal styles.
Not just limited to live performances, the MTP W950 performs equally well in the studio with its high-resolution sound and impressive dynamic range, capturing every vocal nuance. Its dual-diaphragm capsule delivers natural mids and crisp highs, without the "nasal" character sometimes found in live vocal mics. The MTP W950's low self-noise and high SPL handling make it a perfect choice for capturing delicate vocal nuances while maintaining clarity even in high-energy performances. The inclusion of a pad and low-cut switch inside the body prevents accidental adjustments, a useful feature in both studio and stage environments. The MTP W950 provides both optimum performance and peace of mind to vocalists seeking condenser microphone quality, with minimal risk of feedback or unwanted noise.
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.
The Lewitt MTP W950 can connect via its standard XLR output or become part of a broader wireless setup, a very useful feature on large stages. The removable Lewitt W9 capsule is compatible with a range of popular wireless transmitters, provided they offer a minimum 5V power supply. Performers can thus easily alternate between wired setups during rehearsals and studio sessions, and have the freedom to go wireless during live performances. The microphone's sturdy housing and strong protective mesh ensure longevity and dependable performance in the most demanding environments, while the wireless capability offers unmatched mobility on stage without compromising sound quality. Whether on tour, in the studio, or performing in smaller venues, the MTP W950 will deliver outstandingly in every performance.
Cupping-safe design
"Cupping" refers to the practice of covering the rear sound entry points of a microphone capsule, which can inadvertently alter its polar pattern to omnidirectional. This not only negatively impacts the microphone's frequency response but also significantly increases the risk of feedback. The Lewitt MTP W950 features a specially engineered cupping-safe design that allows performers to handle the microphone freely without compromising its directional characteristics. This innovation provides users with greater flexibility during their performances, allowing them to hold the microphone as they prefer while maintaining full sonic integrity and feedback control.
