The Lewitt Beatkit Pro is a seven-piece microphone kit designed for professional stage and studio use, offering the perfect solution for capturing the full intricacy and detail of a drum kit. This carefully selected set includes microphones tailored for every drum: One for the kick drum, one for the snare, three for toms, and a matched stereo pair of condenser microphones for overheads. The kick drum microphone and overheads particularly stand out with their unique features, providing flexibility for both live and studio applications. The kit is supplied in a rugged military-grade hard case, ideal for transport and storage, complete with neatly packed windshields, clamps, and rim mounts, which can remain attached to the microphones when stored - an added convenience for touring musicians. Whether on the road or in the studio, the Lewitt Beatkit Pro provides a reliable, high-quality recording solution.
The DTP 640 REX kick drum microphone features two perfectly phase-aligned capsules - one dynamic and one condenser - delivering a wide sonic palette with three switchable tonal modes. Users can select flat response, an enhanced low-end punch, or an optimised attack with an extended frequency response to suit various styles and setups. The MTP 440 DM cardioid dynamic microphone is renowned for its precise transient response and robust build, making it an ideal snare drum companion. The three DTP 340 TT supercardioid dynamic microphones offer excellent isolation, capturing the full power and tonal richness of the toms with precision. The matched pair of LCT 140 Air small-diaphragm condenser microphones in turn provide pristine stereo overhead coverage, featuring two selectable sound profiles - "AIR" for an enhanced high-end presence and "FLAT" for a natural, uncoloured sound - alongside a low-cut filter and attenuation switch, ensuring exceptional clarity and balance.
Designed for professional drummers, recording studios, and live sound applications, the Lewitt Beatkit Pro is an outstanding turnkey solution that provides everything needed to record a standard five-piece drum kit. The microphones are optimised to work seamlessly together, producing a full, well-rounded drum kit sound with excellent tonal balance and transient response. The DTP 640 REX and LCT 140 Air microphones provide multiple sound-shaping options, achieving a tailored studio sound or a ready-to-go live mix with ease. Beyond drum kits, these versatile microphones also excel at capturing guitar amplifiers, bass amps, and acoustic instruments, making them an invaluable addition to any professional recording setup.
Founded in Vienna in 2010, the midsize Austrian company Lewitt describes itself as the world's fastest-growing microphone brand, and indeed Lewitt has quickly made a name for itself among producers. The reason: The firm has a passionate team that produces remarkably transparent-sounding condenser microphones with low self-noise. Development takes place in Austria, but by producing the microphones in China, among other factors, Lewitt can offer its high-quality products at extremely low prices.
The Lewitt Beatkit Pro is built for durability without compromising performance. On stage, the microphones offer excellent feedback resistance, effective off-axis noise rejection, and a rugged construction to withstand frequent handling and demanding conditions. The MTP 440 DM and DTP 340 TT are supplied with secure clip-on mounts, freeing up valuable stage space by eliminating the need for bulky microphone stands. The Beatkit Pro also shines in the studio: The MTP 440 DM and DTP 340 TT capture guitar amplifiers with remarkable detail, while the DTP 640 REX provides exceptional depth and clarity on bass amps. The LCT 140 Air matched pair offer pristine stereo imaging and a natural sense of space, making them perfect for recording acoustic instruments. Combining professional sound quality with practical design, the Lewitt Beatkit Pro is an all-in-one microphone set that will meet the needs of the most demanding drummers and audio engineers alike.
