Customer Review Summary
The Lewitt DTP 640 REX is an innovative dual-capsule microphone that delivers impressive sound quality and robust construction. Its feature-rich design allows for various adjustments that significantly influence the output, making it versatile for different applications. Many users appreciate the mic’s ability to capture kick drums effectively across various genres, from rock to funk.
However, there are some drawbacks to consider. The microphone is on the heavier side, which necessitates a sturdy stand to maintain its position, especially in dynamic performance environments. Additionally, while the capsules are well-aligned, there is a slight delay between them that can be noticeable in certain setups.
The included soft case is rather inadequate for both the microphone and its proprietary Y cable, which is also perceived as too stiff and of low quality. This could pose a challenge for those who prefer to keep the cable attached to the mic.
Sound-wise, it might take some time to acclimatise to its unique sonic characteristics compared to single-capsule mics. While the neutral sound may not appeal to everyone, switching to the third configuration enhances its performance, particularly for those seeking a fuller sound.
Overall, the Lewitt DTP 640 REX is a fantastic option for those looking for a dual-capsule mic that offers flexibility and quality, especially at an accessible price point. It is highly recommended for anyone looking to expand their microphone collection with a reliable and versatile tool.
