Lewitt DTP 340 TT

A Lewitt Microphone Designed for Close Miking Drums

The Lewitt DTP 340 TT was designed to meet the most common needs in drum recording: capturing the attack, body, and definition of a drum shell without being overwhelmed by neighboring sources. Its place in the Lewitt range clearly fits into the "practical" stage and studio environment, featuring a compact format and mechanics adapted for quick setups, while maintaining the main goal: achieving a clear and punchy tom or snare sound.

Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?

This dynamic microphone is aimed at drummers, sound engineers, and home studio users who want a mic dedicated to toms, snare drum, and percussion, with simple setup and reliable performance throughout concerts and rehearsals. Thanks to its supercardioid polar pattern, it is particularly suitable for tight configurations (small stages, crowded setups, drum kits surrounded by instruments) where source separation is a real challenge. In close miking, it helps keep the drum's energy front and center while limiting bleed from cymbals and nearby elements.

Polar Pattern, Durability, and Mounting: Efficiency Serving the Sound

Supercardioid: More Control in Noisy Environments

The supercardioid polar pattern of the DTP 340 TT is a major asset for obtaining a usable track right from the recording. It favors capturing the targeted source while enhancing rejection of unwanted noise coming from the rear and sides. The result: toms stand out more distinctly, with better clarity in the mix, even when cymbals are close by.

A Build Made for the Real Life of Drums

On a kit, microphones are exposed: proximity to sticks, vibrations, shocks, and frequent handling. The solid construction and robust grille of the Lewitt DTP 340 TT protect the capsule and provide confidence during tight placements. It's the kind of microphone you install with assurance on a snare or tom, where playing incidents can happen at any moment.

Rim Mounting: A Valuable Time Saver

The DTP 340 TT comes with a rim mount and a mic clip that simplify installation. Direct mounting on the rim allows for quick, stable positioning and reduced clutter around the drums. Practical for live use to speed up stage changes, and equally useful in the studio to easily replicate placement from session to session.
