Lewitt MTP 440 DM Reviews

Great all rounder instrument mic

Imagine SM57, but without annoying lack of low-mid range. My go-to snare mic, but this one performs great with whatever you throw at it in live environment.

Great dynamic mic for heavy vocals

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.

Great microphone

This mic is suppose to be a clone of the legendary SM57 but in truth is quite a competitor.

In my recording experience and owning an SM57 I can say that the Lewitt catches more frequencies on the middle-bass range. The 57 instead more on the middle-high range.

To me this is a great combo.

WIsh I bought this earlier

Ran through the pretty much every snare mic(DPA,Shure,Sennheiser,Heil), this is one of the top contenders for me

Great SM57 alternative

Bought as a snare mic to supplement my SM57. it seems better made and 'beefier' sounding if anything that the Shure! Also sounds great on vocals.

Build quality is superb - this will be my go-to dynamic instrument mic from now on.

My new fav mic

I've first seen this mic on one of Ola Englund's videos and decided to give it a shot. It quickly became my favourite mic for heavy guitar and snare. It's very defined and clear, and gives much more detail than an SM57 (in my opinion only). Build quality looks solid, and packing is decent.

Definitely recommend this microphone for heavy music.

Dynamic mic

Used to mic a guitar amp. Worked well. Happy with the results. Think this will be a good all purpose mic
