5 Recessed slide switch for ‘Enhanced Frequency Response’ // Select between the following modes by adjusting the slide
switch:
= // = ‘Flat Frequency Response’ – FFR is suited for recording bass-heavy instruments. No  lter curve activated.
+ // = ‘Dynamic Enhanced Frequency Response’ – Dynamic EFR emphasizes frequency ranges relevant for the kick drum
sound in the dynamic capsule, but leaves frequency response of the condenser capsule untouched.
+ // + ‘Dual Enhanced Frequency Response’ – Dual EFR emphasizes frequency ranges relevant for the kick drum sound in
both capsules but “sharing the work”. The condenser capsule emphasizes frequencies around 60 Hz for deep and full
sound. The dynamic capsule puts its emphasis on the frequencies between 4 and 6 kHz for fast attack.
6 Recessed slide switch for pre-attenuation level // Select between the three settings 0 dB, -10 dB, and -20 dB for the
pre-attenuation level using the recessed slide switch.

// Please Note
// The capsule is a sensitive, high precision component. Make sure you do not drop it from high heights and avoid strong
mechanical stress and force.
// To ensure high sensitivity and best sound reproduction of the microphone, avoid exposing it to moisture, dust
or extreme temperatures.
// Do not apply excessive force on the switches or the connected cable.
// When disconnecting the microphone cable, grasp the connector and do not pull the cable.
// Do not attempt to modify or x the microphone, as it would void your product warranty.
// The casing of the microphone can be cleaned easily using a wet cloth, never use alcohol or another solvent for cleaning.
// The windshield can be washed with soap water, if necessary.

Connect the two 3-pin XLR plug marked with CONDENSER and DYNAMIC to your mixing console, audio interface or
microphone preamplier.
2Supply the DTP 640 REX with 48V phantom to power the condenser element (you do not need phantom power
when exclusively using the dynamic capsule).
3Set the input gain on your mixing console, preamp, etc. accordingly.
4To ensure best sound quality, do not cover any part of the grille.
5Experiment with different mixes of the two capsules to nd your perfect sound.
6Rock!
// Dual Element Technology
Your DTP 640 REX is equipped with a dynamic capsule and a condenser capsule – the dynamic element ensures accurate
reproduction of the bass drum kick, while the condenser element captures the rich, low frequency sound of the drum’s shell.
These two elements can be separately mixed on their own channels. The enclosed DTP 40 Trs cable connects the DTP 640 REX
to two channels on your mixing board. The two channels can be mixed according to your preferences.
