Intro

Thank you for choosing a LEWITT DGT 650!

In brief: It’s the most versatile USB microphone on the market. It’s compatible with Windows, Mac and even iOS devices. It can be used to record vocals, instruments, ambient sound, samples, podcasts and more, both mono with a cardioid polar pattern and stereo thanks to its XY capsule arrangement.

Plug in and record your guitar, synthesizer, mixing desk or any other line output-equipped device via the breakout box. You can even plug any MIDI input device directly into your DGT 650’s own 5-pin MIDI jack ...

You see, this is way more than a simple USB microphone: it’s your Digital Multi-Tool.

Recording Modes

We’ve built four different recording modes into your DGT 650 to make it the most versatile USB microphone in the world, serving you as a true digital multi-tool. Since we’ll need to refer to those different modes later on in this user manual (and because we think they’re really cool), we’d like to briefly introduce them to you here:

XY Stereo Mode //

Two cardioid capsules with 90° opening for XY stereo recording. Use this mode for recording live concerts, band rehearsals, ambient sounds, background vocals and for similar applications where you want to capture the room sound and the stereo image of any acoustic event.

Cardioid Mode //

The two capsules are mixed together to create a cardioid pattern. Best used for vocal recording or other applications where you need good rear and side rejection.

Singer/Songwriter Mode //

Channel 1 is the cardioid mic and channel 2 is the line input. Use this mode for simultaneous recording of acoustic and line sources. For example: plug in your guitar to the line input and sing into the microphone to put the two signals on separate tracks. If you plug a stereo source into the line input, it will be summed mono (this could possibly cause phase issues on some synthesizers).

Stereo Line-In Mode //

Used to capture a stereo line signal. Connect a synthesizer or mixing console output and record it directly to your device.

//

Setup

Connect the breakout box to the lockable hi-speed 18-pin data connector (11) of the microphone, then connect the USB cable to the computer or the lightning connector (sold separately) to your iOS device. If you need to extend the USB cable, be sure to use a HI-SPEED-compatible USB extension cord. We do not recommend the use of USB hubs, but if you need to, only use a powered hub or use the dedicated charging port to power the

DGT 650.

OS X (10 .6 and up)

// Connect the DGT 650 to the breakout box and the breakout box to the USB port.

Open “system preferences” in the  menu at the top of the screen.

Click on the “Sound” icon.

Click the “Output” tab and select “DGT 650.”

Click the “Input” tab and also select the “DGT 650.”

windows

// Connect the DGT 650 to the breakout box and the breakout box to the USB port.

Download and install the drivers – please follow the onscreen instructions.

To use the DGT 650 with your preferred sequencer / digital audio workstation, refer to the software manual.

Operating the microphone

The following will walk you through all the settings of your DGT 650.

Standard Mode //

This is the default state of the device when you power it on ( is illuminated white).

Settings Mode

//

This is where you can change all the settings on your DGT 650 including recording modes, monitoring options, high-pass filters, pre-attenuation and gain. The illuminated LEWITT logo will turn off as soon as the microphone switches to Settings Mode. Press the jog dial to switch from setting to setting and rotate it to change the selected setting.

headphone/Output gain

//

The headphone symbol is lit. Rotate the jog dial to change the output volume.

ATTENTION

: Your DGT 650 has a professional, built-in headphone amp. Be sure to check your gain settings befor using headphones, the signal can be very loud. Honestly, we mean it - this can seriously harm your ears.

Input gain //

Press the jog dial until the input gain symbol is lit. We use a very fine gain control – there are intermediate steps that do not show up on the LEDs. The settings will change depending on the selected recording mode. You can set input gain levels for all 4 recording modes individually.

Stereo Mode selected //

Gain L R will be lit. Rotate the jog dial to change the gain for both capsules together.

Cardioid Mode selected

//

Gain L R will be lit. Rotate the jog dial to change the gain.

Singer/Songwriter Mode selected

//

Gain L will be lit first. This lets you set the gain for the left channel

– in this mode, it’s the cardioid microphone. Press the jog dial; Gain R will now be lit. This lets you change the gain of the right channel – in this mode, it’s the line input.

Stereo Line Mode selected

//

Gain L R will be lit first. This lets you change the left and right-channel gain settings together. Press the jog dial again; Gain L will be lit. This lets you adjust the gain of the left input separately. Press the jog dial again to change the gain of the right channel separately.

Recording Mode //

The selected recording mode symbol is lit. Rotate the jog dial to change the recording mode. Press the jog dial to switch to the next setting.

Monitoring Mode //

Use the jog dial to blend between tape return monitoring and direct monitoring . The

LED graph shows the mixture of the two modes. Press the jog dial to switch to the next option.

high-pass Filter //

Set the high-pass with the jog dial. Available settings are: flat, 80Hz@12dB/Oct and

160Hz@12dB/Oct.

Pre-Attenuation //

Set the pre-attenuation

by rotating the jog dial the options are 0dB, -10dB and -20dB.

Saftey guidelines

// 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.

// Keep this product out of the reach of children.

// Do not use force on the switch or cable of the microphone.

// When disconnecting the microphone cable, grasp the connector and do not pull the cable.

// Do not attempt to modify or fix it. Contact qualified service personnel in case any service is needed. Please do not disassemble or modify the microphone for any reasons as this will void users warranty.

// The casing of the microphone can be cleaned easily using a wet cloth, never use alcohol or another solvent for cleaning. If necessary the foam wind stopper can be washed with soap water. Please wait till it is dry before using it again.
