Thank you that you have opted for a LEWITT product. In this operating manual you will learn more about your LEWITT microphone, its handling and its proper usage.
Music professionals know that it’s often the smallest details that make all the difference in vocal and instrumental recordings.
With our MTP series, we aim to exceed artists’ and audio engineers’ expectations of reproduction accuracy and isolation of the main sound source. The new flagships among LEWITT's performance microphones – the MTP 840 DM and the 940 CM are true milestones of audio technology.
All MTP microphones are professional-quality handheld dynamic and condenser performance microphones have been developed specifically for the authentic, crystal-clear reproduction of vocals and are also well-suited for instrumental applications.
Customized frequency responses, a rugged construction, high gain before feedback and extremely low handling noise make all models of the MTP series the perfect fit for any application, any performance and any setting.
Introduction
LEWITT wishes you a lot of fun and success with this product!

Our MTP 340 CM and MTP 340 CMs are quality condenser vocal microphones with a thin diaphragm back-electret capsule which brings a high level of sonic detail to demanding vocal applications. No matter whether on stage or in the studio, the models’ tailored frequency response always allows for maximum precision and unsurpassed clarity, taking professional vocal tracking to the next level.
The uniform cardioid pickup pattern ensures noise-free transmission, with essential sound sources being effectively isolated while unwanted feedback and background noise are eliminated. These microphones’ rugged construction and hardened steel-mesh grille ensure trouble-free handling on stage and in the studio.

Connecting and Disconnecting the Microphone Cable
·Before establishing connection, make sure that the microphone and the component (e.g. amplifier) are switched off.
·Lower the volume of the component (e.g. amplifier) before connecting the microphone.
·Insert the connector into the microphone socket. Align the key on the connector with
the groove in the microphone, and then push the connector into the microphone until it clicks.
·To disconnect the cable from the microphone, pull the connector away from the microphone while depressing the latch lock.
How to Use
·Set the switch to ON when using the microphone, set it to OFF when it is not in use (only applicable if your microphone has an ON/OFF switch).
·When using the microphone, do not cover any part of the grille with your hand to ensure best sound quality and accurate directivity characteristic.

Hints
.
1 In order to prevent feedback (howling):
·Lower the volume.
·Place the microphone so that it is not pointed
to the speaker and that there is a sufficient distance between the microphone and the speaker.
·Do not cover the lower part of the grille with your hand.
.
2 Positioning the microphone close to the
sound source causes the so-called proximity effect (a boost in the low frequency response). This phenomenon can be used to create a richer and warmer bass sound.
