DTP 640 REX
The product
Thanks to variably controlled dual element technology and fine tuned
frequency responses, our flagship among drum microphones, the DTP
640 REX, offers unparalleled and powerful sound that will delight
professional drummers and sound engineers alike. The DTP 640 REX is
equipped with a high quality dynamic element and a condenser
element – the dynamic element ensures accurate reproduction of the
bass drum kick, while the condenser element optimally captures the
rich low frequency sound of the drum’s shell. In order to guarantee full
control over the two elements, they can be separately mixed on their
own channels.
Since 2012, the DTP 640 REX offers two more features. The dynamic
element emphasizes frequency ranges relevant for the kick drum in the
‘Dynamic Enhanced Frequency Response’ setting switchable right on
the microphone, while the condenser element captures the sound
neutrally. With ‘Dual Enhanced Frequency Response’, the character of
the sound can be shaped even more individually – with this setting, the
condenser element focuses on frequencies from 70 to 150 Hz and
delivers a full body sound. The dynamic element provides the
necessary power by focusing on the range between 3 and 5 kHz.
The combination of these features with the comprehensive tonal
freedom of dual-element technology greatly increases the range of use,
turning the DTP 640 REX into a universal tool for bass-heavy
applications.
