Lewitt DTP 40 Trs Breakout Cable, 5-Pin XLR to Dual 3-Pin XLR, 4.9 ft (1.5 m)

Lewitt DTP 40 Trs: Split Your DTP 640 REX Into Two Channels

The Lewitt DTP 40 Trs is a breakout splitter cable built for the Lewitt DTP 640 REX dual-capsule kick-drum microphone, taking the microphone's single 5-pin XLR output and fanning it out to two standard 3-pin XLR male connectors. That lets each of the DTP 640 REX's two internal capsules reach its own channel on your mixer or interface, and it is the same cable supplied with the microphone, offered here as a replacement or a spare. When a single frayed breakout cable is all that stands between a two-capsule kick mic and your console, keeping a known-good spare in the drum bag is cheap insurance for the low end of every show.

Why the DTP 640 REX Needs a 5-Pin Breakout

The DTP 640 REX is really two microphones in one body: a dynamic capsule tuned for the low-end thump of a kick drum and a condenser capsule tuned for the attack and click of the beater. To give you independent control over each, the microphone carries both signals out on a single 5-pin XLR connector rather than an ordinary 3-pin one. The DTP 40 Trs is the cable that unpacks that combined output: its 5-pin female end plugs into the microphone, and its two 3-pin male ends carry the dynamic capsule and the condenser capsule separately to two channels on your mixer. From there you can blend the fat body of the dynamic with the crisp click of the condenser to dial in exactly the kick sound you want. Oxygen-free copper conductors and full shielding keep both signals clean and hum-free across the run.

On Stage and In the Studio

Run the DTP 40 Trs from the DTP 640 REX inside the kick drum to a nearby stage box or snake, where its two 3-pin ends drop into adjacent inputs for live blending at front of house or independent capture to a multitrack rig. The 4.9 ft (1.5 m) length is sized to reach from the microphone to the edge of the kit without leaving loose cable coiled inside the drum, keeping a tidy, reliable connection whether you are tracking in the studio or turning around a fast festival changeover.

Who the Lewitt DTP 40 Trs Is For

This cable is for every owner of the Lewitt DTP 640 REX who wants a spare breakout on hand or needs to replace a damaged original. Because the microphone's dual-capsule design depends on this specific 5-pin-to-dual-3-pin cable to reach the console, a backup in the bag means a single bad connector never costs you the kick drum in a live set. If you run the DTP 640 REX, this is the exact breakout cable it was built to use.
