Questions & Answers

FAQ

What does 'high gain before feedback' mean for the LEWITT MTP 550 DM microphone?

High gain before feedback means that the microphone can be turned up louder before it starts to produce feedback noise. This is especially useful in live performance settings where the sound needs to be amplified.

What is the benefit of the microphone's fully rubber-mounted capsule?

The fully rubber-mounted capsule in the LEWITT MTP 550 DM microphone significantly reduces handling noise. This means that you can move the microphone around without worrying about unwanted noise disrupting your audio.

What is the function of the built-in spherical wind and pop filter in the LEWITT MTP 550 DM microphone?

The built-in spherical wind and pop filter is designed to reduce wind noise and plosive sounds (like 'p', 'b', 't' sounds) that can cause distortion. This ensures a consistently rich and powerful output in any setting.

What does 'cardioid polar pattern' mean?

A cardioid polar pattern means that the microphone picks up sound primarily from the front and sides, but not the rear. This helps isolate the main sound source and minimize background noise, delivering a clearer, more focused audio experience.

Why does the LEWITT MTP 550 DM microphone have a smaller switch?

The smaller switch on the LEWITT MTP 550 DM microphone is designed to prevent accidental operation and reduce handling noise. This ensures that the microphone only picks up the sound you want it to capture.
