Take Studio-grade Condenser Sound Onstage
The Lewitt MTP W950 is a top-quality 1-inch true-condenser handheld mic purpose built to take the studio-quality definition, clarity, and detail of a traditional condenser mic onto the stage. Boasting impeccable feedback resistance, the MTP W950 sports dual-layer protection that keeps your signal free from wind, moisture, and even vocal plosives. What’s more, switchable cardioid/supercardioid patterns allow the MTP W950 to be fine-tuned to a vast assortment of live sound applications, with switchable attenuation and a 120Hz low-cut filter to adjust your mic’s response further. And worry not, live sound engineers: the MTP W950’s three switches are all located under the capsule’s grille, ensuring that no accidental activations occur mid-performance. If you’re eyeing a wireless condenser mic that’s more than capable of delivering studio-grade sound, then Sweetwater strongly recommends homing in on the Lewitt MTP W950.

Switch up your pattern
To excel in all stage and live sound applications, the MTP W950 features a multi-pattern design that swaps between standard cardioid and supercardioid patterns. First up, the cardioid pattern provides a tight pattern that offers an impressive rejection of sources not directly in front of the microphone — perfect for standard vocal duties. However, supercardioid homes in even further with a tighter pattern, making them a superior choice for specific close-miked applications, in addition to sporting superior side rejection and improved isolation from room noise.
Versatile 12dB attenuator and low-cut switches
In addition to providing world-class studio-grade sound, the MTP W950 comes equipped with a host of utility features to accommodate any scenario on stage. A built-in low-cut filter allows you to easily trim down the bass on signals with an excessive low-end response, resulting in a tighter, more coherent mix. Micing up a hot source or a particularly exuberant vocalist? Simply activate the 12dB attenuation to rein it in with a more controlled volume level. Best of all, these controls (as well as the cardioid/supercardioid switch) are locked up tight under the capsule’s grille, ensuring that a performer on stage doesn’t accidentally enable them.
Wireless-compatible W9 capsule
Looking to cut the cables out of your live mic setup? While the Lewitt MTP W950 functions as a full-fledged traditional XLR microphone out of the box, this mic’s W9 capsule boasts impressive wireless flexibility. It’s fully compatible with most Shure, Lectrosonics, Sony handheld, Line 6 XD-V55/XD-V75, and Mipro ACT wireless ecosystems, allowing performers to harness the MTP W950’s full sonic might without the constraints of the cable.
