Lewitt MTP 5 Live Vocal Microphone Switch Version

A Modern Stage Microphone in the LEWITT Spirit

With the MTP 5 Live Switch, LEWITT applies its modern vision of sound capture to a classic stage staple: the dynamic vocal microphone. The Austrian brand has built a solid reputation thanks to products with refined sound, intelligent design, and serious manufacturing. This model fully embodies that philosophy.
The goal is not to reinvent the fundamentals but to offer a more advanced alternative to the traditional live microphone. The MTP 5 focuses on more readable vocal reproduction, better off-axis control, and ergonomics designed for real-world usage conditions. In this Switch version, it gains flexibility for all contexts where an integrated switch makes a difference.

A Versatile Microphone for Stage, Speech, and Content Creation

The LEWITT MTP 5 Live Switch is primarily aimed at singers who want a reliable, musical microphone that is easy to use on stage. Its frequency response and natural clarity allow the voice to stand out well in a band without needing to excessively boost the equalization on the console. This is a real advantage in concerts, rehearsals, or on small stages with busy setups.
Its well-controlled cardioid pattern also makes it an excellent choice for musicians playing near drums, guitar amps, or powerful monitors. The signal remains cleaner, bleed is better contained, and the sound engineer has a healthier foundation to build both front-of-house and monitor mixes.
This switch version is also very suitable for conferences, speeches, corporate events, panel discussions, and hosting. Finally, for content creators who prefer the behavior of a dynamic microphone, the MTP 5 can also find its place in streaming, podcasting, or certain instrument recordings.

A Design Focused on Efficiency in Real Conditions

The strength of the MTP 5 Live Switch lies in its ability to combine several qualities sought after in a stage microphone: presence, control, robustness, and user comfort. Where some models focus solely on output level or artificial brightness, this one favors a more balanced reproduction, with enough air to open the voice without generating unpleasant sibilance.

A Dynamic Capsule Designed for Clarity

LEWITT equips this model with a custom-developed dynamic capsule. It promotes clear vocal reproduction, with precise articulation and a good response in the upper spectrum. In practice, this translates to more intelligible consonants, clearer singing, and a voice that naturally finds its place in the mix, even when the sound environment becomes dense.
Compared to a more conventional stage dynamic microphone, the MTP 5 seeks less marked coloration and more intelligibility. The result is particularly interesting for modern vocals, pop, rock, spoken performances, or situations where detail is desired without aggressiveness.

A Cardioid Polar Pattern That Truly Helps on Stage

The cardioid pattern is not only for capturing the source in front of the microphone. On the MTP 5, it actively contributes to signal cleanliness. LEWITT has worked on the off-axis response to better reject certain unwanted high frequencies from the stage, notably cymbals or other very present sources.
In use, this improves gain before feedback and reduces the feeling of a cluttered mix. For the artist, this means more comfort with stage monitors. For the technician, it means a vocal channel that is easier to integrate, with fewer corrections needed to regain definition.

A "Cupping-Safe" Design and Reduced Handling Noise

The MTP 5 incorporates a metal ring that acts as a natural barrier for singers who tend to hold the microphone at the grille level. This point is far from trivial: poor handling can alter the polar pattern and severely degrade the sound. Here, the design limits this effect and helps maintain more consistent performance.
The capsule is also suspended in rubber to reduce mechanical noises related to handling. Whether on stage, during speeches, or in mobile recording, this contributes to a cleaner result. The integrated windscreen is washable, a welcome detail for hygiene when the same microphone is shared among multiple users.

Solid Construction for Durability

The metal grille and body inspire confidence from the moment you hold it. This microphone is clearly designed to face the realities of the field: repeated transport, quick setup, accidental shocks, and intensive use. For artists, venues, service providers, or places of worship, this is a tangible long-term asset.
