LEWITT LCT 440 PURE XLR condenser microphone for voice, singing, instrument recording, and streaming

Product Information

On my voice (baritone) it just kills.On acoustic it kills again.On electric guitar near and far it kills. Elevate your studio recordings with the Lewitt LCT 440 Pure, Vida Edition Microphone. Experience larger-than-life sound quality, capturing vocals and instruments with depth and clarity. This limited edition microphone stands out with its low self-noise, handling high sound pressure levels, and a dynamic range that's second to none. However, if I had the choice between all 4… I’d go with the Lewitt. That’s partly because the TLM-103 has a high-frequency roll-off after 16 kHz. Elevated Sound Quality - The LCT 440 PURE - VIDA EDITION utilizes the same premium components and capsule technology found in LEWITT's prestigious models, ensuring that your recordings are characterized by a larger-than-life sound with remarkable depth and clarity. Each capsule is meticulously calibrated and tested to meet the highest quality standards, allowing you to capture your unique personality and the emotions you pour into your performances. Both of these microphones are useful, versatile additions to any mic collection. Despite being the cheaper of the two, the LCT 240 Pro could easily find a role in many professional-mic collections, as the voicing will definitely suit some instruments more than others; while the LCT 440 Pure is a more neutral-sounding microphone that would make an excellent choice for anyone looking to just add one detailed, high-quality condenser to their collection – there’s nothing it won’t sound at least pretty good on, and it will make many things sound great.

The microphone features impressive specs with self noise of 7dB (A) and a sensitivity of 27.4mV/Pa which means it will not introduce any noise in the signal chain and you'll need less preamp gain. It is therefor suitable for recording quiet sources such as Foley. Compared to the t-bone the difference in quality of build is obvious,the LCT440 feels like a decent mic.Compared to the t-bone and sound i found the LCT440 to be smoother at the high end and requiring alot less corrective eq in general. The LCT 440 Pure’s design provides ultra-low self-noise, eliminating any operational noise for the purest signal possible. It is also able to handle high sound pressure levels, making it great as an all-round microphone. Its robust and highly durable housing features a built-in grille, which not only reinforces the strength of the microphone but helps to improve the audio performance. The RODE NT1 sounds much more neutral and balanced because it doesn’t boost the higher frequencies. The RODE NT1-A actually sounds quite harsh in the top-end. Lewitt’s new vocal and instrument microphone retains the essence of their established models, but at a much more attractive price.Personally, I prefer condensers that sound bright and modern. That being said, the KSM32 isn’t the type of microphone I’d choose over the TLM-103, that’s for sure! Both of these two microphones clearly have their place: the LCT 240 Pro is more suited to guitars used alongside other instrumentation, particularly bass and drums, where the more mid-forward presence would help the acoustic guitar to sit in the mix without getting in the way of the other instruments.

The Lewitt LCT 440 PURE’s name speaks for itself, providing a pure and clear sound, utilising premium-grade components to ensure the best possible audio performance. The LCT 440 Pure is ideal for capturing studio-grade vocal recordings as well as some instruments.With super-low self-noise and the ability to handle ear-shattering sound pressure levels, one thing is for sure - nothing will limit your performance on the technical side. PURE function That being said, the 440 definitely wouldn’t be your best choice for overhead drum mics! It’ll sound best on acoustic guitar and vocals (specifically, male vocals). The 1" true condenser capsule captures the signal with an impressive amount of depth and clarity. Preserve your individual personality and all the emotion you've put into your performance. PURE recording The 1-inch true condenser capsule captures your audio source with immense detail, retaining every nuance of your sound for exceptional audio fidelity. The clarity and depth the Lewitt Pure delivers preserve the tonality and emotion of your performance. High-end clarity for a natural sound That’s probably why you liked it so much on drums (as overheads, right?), it’s great for taming the harshness of cymbals! Same thing for the KSM32.

It’s also one of the few budget large-diaphragm condenser microphones that doesn’t roll-off any of the high-frequencies. It’s very transparent and has LOTS of clarity.The sE2300 is the multi-pattern sibling of the hugely popular sE2200, famously adopted by vocal powerhouses such as Amy Winehouse. This smooth-sounding microphone builds upon its predecessor by adding an optimised signal path that delivers even lower noise and increased clarity.

Don’t get me wrong though, the Sennheiser MKH 416 is LEGENDARY which is why the Lewitt LCT 440 PURE is adored by so many. All other things being equal, capsule size can have a huge impact on the sonic characteristics of a microphone. A smaller capsule has less mass than a larger capsule, and so can respond to transients faster than a larger capsule. There are also benefits to high-frequency response and to directionality when using small-diaphragm cardioid capsules.I think most will agree with me that the strength of a condenser microphone lies in its ability to capture high-frequencies with crystal-clear response. Neumann has enjoyed a legendary reputation since the earliest days of the recording industry. While not a vintage microphone from the brand’s golden years, the TLM-102 large-diaphragm condenser microphone still fits in very well with the brand’s heritage both in quality and looks. Alright, I just wanted to talk about some of the problems with “budget” large-diaphragm condenser microphones. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.
