Take Studio-grade Condenser Sound Onstage
The Lewitt W9 capsule is a top-quality 1-inch true-condenser wireless purpose built to take the studio-quality definition, clarity, and detail of a traditional condenser mic onto the stage. Boasting impeccable feedback resistance, the W9 sports dual-layer protection that keeps your signal free from wind, moisture, and even vocal plosives. What’s more, switchable cardioid/supercardioid polar patterns allow the W9 to tackle applications far beyond vocal duties, with switchable attenuation and a 120Hz low-cut filter to tune your’s mic’s response further. And worry not, live sound engineers: the W9’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 capsule that’s more than capable of delivering studio-grade sound, then Sweetwater strongly recommends homing in on the Lewitt W9.

Switch up your pattern
To excel in all stage and live sound applications, the W9 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 W9 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? 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.
