Designing MTP W950, the ultimate live microphone
It was an easy idea at the beginning. Just take an existing model, the MTP 940 CM, and optimize the polar pattern performance. In the end, it was a very tricky task to do. Lewitt had to completely change the capsule's design and reduce the amount of material to an absolute minimum.
A condenser mic for the stage
There’s plenty of debate on dynamic microphones vs condensers. Condenser microphones offer more detail and assist vocals in cutting through the mix, but are too sensitive to be used outside of a recording studio. Most live vocal microphones are typically dynamic mics because they are less sensitive and can handle higher sound pressure levels (SPLs).
1" true condenser capsule for studio quality
With the MTP W950, you have both a reliable microphone for stage and a killer studio microphone as well. In fact, it offers a few advantages over a typical studio condenser.
- Low structure-borne noise: The MTP W950 is shock resistant, so your take won’t be ruined if you accidentally bump the microphone. Maybe you even want to perform with the mic in hand, without a stand? We won’t stop you.
- Resists plosives: You won’t need to set up a pop filter, because the MTP W950’s capsule already has you covered.
- Consistency: You can literally take the sound you’re used to in the studio onto the stage, and vice versa. You’ll get great results either way.
Use it wired or wireless
With the MTP W950, you won't have to compromise your sound if you need to go wireless. You'll have one microphone that will work in any situation.
If you go to a huge venue with its own wireless system, you normally wouldn’t be able to bring your own microphone because you need to use the venue’s setup. With the W9 capsule, you can simply unscrew it from the handle and attach it to the venue’s transmitter.
Conclusion
There you have it. Don't be scared by the price tag—if you're in the market for a live vocal microphone, the MTP W950 is worth its weight in gold. Still not convinced?
