MTP 840 DM
Dynamic microphone - condenser sound
Feature-rich dynamic handheld microphone for exceptionally clean sound.
AMPLIFY YOUR SOUND!
Active Mode – boost your sensitivity
The MTP 840 DM is a supercardioid handheld performance microphone. Its tailored frequency response means that your vocals will cut through every mix. The unique Active Mode boosts sensitivity by up to 12 dB while output impedance stays low. Excellent transient response, refined electronics, and superior capsule design make the MTP 840 DM a unique tool for onstage use.
Feedback-proof
The supercardioid polar pattern guarantees super-high gain before feedback. Like all microphones from the MTP series, the MTP 840 DM has an amazingly consistent polar pattern all across its entire frequency spectrum. And even with more than half of the wire-mesh cup covered, it will not lose any rear rejection.
Maximum ruggedness
The structure-in-structure architecture provides the basis for the MTP series' ruggedness. The outside enclosure of wire-mesh cup and ring is made of sturdy spring steel, while the body consists of durable zinc die -cast parts. The inner enclosure is made of resilient but lightweight nylon enforced-reinforced ABS. This design ensures the best possible protection for the rough daily touring routines.
MTP 840 DM
Dynamic microphone - condenser sound
Versatility and durability, plus optimal suitability for punishing touring conditions with no compromises on sound: this is what the MTP 840 DM stands for. Its excellent transient response, refined electronics, and superior capsule design make the MTP 840 DM a unique tool for onstage use. Innovatively designed circuitry and the highest-quality components make for exceptionally low self-noise and a maximum of dynamic range when in Active Mode, and the frequency curve, – which is specially tailored for vocal recordings – provides the ultimate in sound quality. A three-step low-cut filter directly influences the proximity effect, permitting adaptation of the mic to individual preferences. The built-in three-position switchable amplifier, is specially adapted to the MTP 840 DM’s components, allowing lossless recording of even far-off sources. A supercardioid polar pattern provides maximum protection against feedback, and the flexibly suspended capsule reduces structure-borne noise to a minimum. The MTP 840 DM transports the artist’s voice in a powerful way, lending it the necessary presence without falsifying its individual character.
