The new microphones are available through JHS
UK - John Hornby Skewes & Co. Has announced two new Lewitt MTP Live Series flagship models: the MTP940 condenser microphone and the dynamic MTP840. Both models offer wide-ranging features and impressive performance specifications that set new standards in this segment.

The MTP940 boasts comprehensive features and settings typically found only in today's finer reference studio condenser microphones. Three switchable polar patterns - wide cardioid, cardioid and super cardioid - allow for maximum flexibility when dealing with a diverse range of sources and environments; from lead vocals, public speaking, choirs, to classic unplugged situations with a singer and an acoustic instrument. A three-position high-pass filter makes it possible to directly influence the proximity effect, adapting it in the best-possible way to the sound source. Additionally, the three-position pre-attenuation pad guarantees clip-free results even in extremely high SPL environments.

Numerous useful features make the MTP840 especially versatile onstage and in the studio. A three-step high-pass filter directly influences the proximity effect, allowing adaptation of the character of the mic to an individual artist's requirements and tastes. Utilising Phantom Power, an internal three-position amplifier makes the MTP840 an active microphone, allowing for enhanced capturing of vocal nuances and distant sources.

LEDs (defeatable) on both microphones offer a simple user interface and provide visual confirmation of the mic's numerous settings even in dimly lit environments. Both models offer professional reliability and extremely rugged construction that can withstand even the roughest everyday touring conditions, says the company.
