Lewitt MTP 440 DM

I only used this mic for heavy vocals in recording and in live sessions. Our vocalist loves cupping the mic and when he was using my Shure beta the feedback was just too much to handle.

But that's not the reason that I bought this mic, Glen Fricker (SMG studios on youtube) recommended it, and I'm happy that I took his advice.

With the beta, my screams and growls sound more "black metal" and sound a bit distant, which is great, gives a great atmosphere. But with the lewitt, man, the vocals just hit you in the face. Great for death metal, punchy as hell, cuts right through the mix.

Can't say anything about recording guitars, need to try that out when I have a treated room to do so, but for now, I'm happy with the product.

It also seems sturdy and VERY well built. It's heavy and nothing seems cheap on this mic. It's a great mic, no cons to it.

The Lewitt mtp 440 has been on my mind for quite some time. I’ve seen the reviews, watched some youtube and I thought I give it a shot.

I was amazed with the quality of everything!

First of all, the packaging. Lewitt did a great job with the whole package of the mtp 440. Nice accessories (stickers, bracelet & a leather pouch) but also great mic clips with a good grip!

Moving to the microphone..
The acoustic characteristics tend to feel like a sm57 but it clearly has a more natural sound. The mtp440 does not have that 3kHz - 4kHz chiz chiz boost that the sm57 has. In my experience, this is great, because you have to have colours in your palette.

I mostly use 57s on instruments that sound a bit dark or drum heads and mtp440 on balanced or rich bodied instruments.

Since I work with live sound and live recordings on concerts, condensers are used carefully (of course because of the sensitivity issue with the feedback).

So, the Lewitt mtp440 really works great for me with the natural response that fits my needs.

Definitely, check it out!
