Exceptional sound for bass drums and other bass-heavy instruments
The DTP 640 REX is a dual-capsule microphone specifically designed to capture the sound of your drums and percussion instruments. It features two phase-aligned capsules, a condenser and a dynamic one. Both capsules can be adjusted to emphasize your sound for studio and live applications.
Dual-capsule bass drum microphone
The DTP 640 REX features two phase-aligned microphones in one. The dynamic side ensures accurate attack reproduction of the bass drum, while the condenser element captures more of the body resonance and decay. Each element has a dedicated output. This enables you to shape the bass drum sound in unique ways.
Three switchable sound characteristics
=//= Both elements with neutral frequency response.
+//= Dynamic element boosts frequencies between 3 and 5 kHz; condenser stays neutral.
+//+ Dynamic boosts the range of 3-5 kHz, condenser boosts frequencies 70-150 Hz to deliver full-bodied sound.
Great on all kinds of bass-heavy instruments
With the DTP 640 REX you get massive yet clear bass drum and bass recordings, in the studio and on stage. Both capsules, dynamic and condenser, are specifically designed to replicate low frequencies with precision and punch.
