Condenser Microphone:

And don’t worry, live sound engineers: the MTP W950’s three switches are all positioned behind the capsule’s grille, guaranteeing that no inadvertent activations occur during a performance. If you’re looking for a wireless condenser mic that can offer studio-quality sound, Sweetwater strongly recommends the Lewitt MTP W950.

Change your pattern.

The MTP W950 has a multi-pattern architecture that allows it to switch between regular cardioid and supercardioid patterns, making it ideal for all stage and live sound applications. First, the cardioid pattern provides a tight pattern with outstanding rejection of sounds not directly in front of the microphone, making it ideal for basic vocal responsibilities. However, supercardioid microphones have a narrower pattern, making them a better choice for specialized close-miked applications, as well as enhanced side rejection and room noise isolation.

Flexible 12dB attenuator and low-cut switches

In addition to producing world-class studio-grade sound, the MTP W950 includes a slew of utility capabilities to handle any situation on stage. A built-in low-cut filter allows you to effortlessly reduce the bass on signals with a high low-end response, resulting in a tighter, more cohesive mix. Micing a hot source or a very enthusiastic vocalist? Simply engage the 12dB attenuation to achieve a more regulated volume level. Best of all, these controls (as well as the cardioid/supercardioid switch) are securely sealed inside the capsule’s grille, preventing a performer on stage from accidentally activating them.

Wirelessly compatible W9 capsule

Looking to reduce the wires from your live mic setup? While the Lewitt MTP W950 works as a full-fledged standard XLR microphone out of the box, its W9 capsule provides exceptional wireless versatility. It is completely compatible with the majority of Shure, Lectrosonics, Sony handheld, Line 6 XD-V55/XD-V75, and Mipro ACT wireless ecosystems, allowing performers to fully utilize the MTP W950’s acoustic capabilities without the limits of the cord.

Whether on stage or in the studio, there’s a Lewitt microphone that’s ideal for the task.

The Lewitt MTP W950 stands out thanks to its externally polarized condenser capsule, which offers a highly sensitive and accurate response to sound pressure. The pressure gradient transducer design combined with selectable cardioid and supercardioid polar patterns means the microphone excels at isolating your desired sound source while minimizing unwanted ambient noise and feedback. For the user, this translates into a clean, focused audio capture that enhances vocal presence and instrument articulation without the muddiness often associated with handheld microphones in noisy environments.

One of the key benefits of this microphone is its impressive sensitivity rating of 8.1 mV/Pa (-41.8 dBV/Pa), allowing it to pick up even the subtlest nuances of your performance. Coupled with a low self-noise level of just 21 dB (A), the MTP W950 ensures that your recordings and live sound remain pristine and free of hiss or other background interference. Additionally, the microphone can handle very high sound pressure levels up to 140 dB SPL with only 0.5% total harmonic distortion, making it suitable for capturing both powerful vocals and loud instruments without distortion or damage.

The microphone’s robust dynamic range of 119 dB (A) and signal-to-noise ratio of 73 dB (A) guarantee a wide audio spectrum and clear signal reproduction, preserving every detail of your sound. With a selectable attenuation pad of 0 dB and -12 dB, you can tailor the microphone’s input sensitivity to match your source perfectly, preventing overload in situations with extremely loud sound sources. The built-in low-cut filter at 120 Hz helps reduce low-frequency rumble and handling noise, providing cleaner, more professional audio output.

Measuring 51 mm in diameter and 183 mm in length, and weighing just 397 grams, the MTP W950 is ergonomically designed for comfortable handheld use during extended performances. Its gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector ensures reliable signal transmission and durability, while the standardized capsule thread allows for easy replacement or upgrade of the microphone capsule if needed.
