MTP 840 DM

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.
