Customer Review Summary
The Lewitt DTP 340 REX is an exceptional versatile dynamic low-frequency microphone that performs brilliantly in live settings, particularly in front of a 15″ bass cabinet. It delivers a clear and defined low-end without excessively emphasising the typical bass and kick frequencies, which sets it apart from other microphones like the Beta 62, D112, and e902.
In terms of frequency response, it handles the dropped-D sound exceptionally well and significantly reduces the need for extensive EQ adjustments. While the EQ boost might not be to everyone’s taste, it certainly enhances the bass drum’s presence.
However, it is not the ideal choice for home recording as quieter sources can lose some low-end detail. When properly driven, it produces defined bass tones without muddiness, making it a fantastic addition to any live setup. The build quality is robust and inspires confidence, ensuring it can handle the rigours of the stage.
In comparison with other options like the Beta 52, the Lewitt DTP 340 REX stands out as a superior choice in its price range, offering a neutral kick sound and excellent fidelity. Overall, this microphone is a perfect fit for bass cab applications, making direct input signals almost unnecessary.
