      Only tried the 440 Pure briefly and liked that one. One day hopefully I'll buy one to use for voiceovers in my channel.

    I love my Lewitt LCT 240 Pro in the ice white version with all the accessories. What a crisp soild sound I do have my eye on the Subzero s for my next Lewitt purchase

    Thinking about trying a LEWITT mic myself; currently using an AT4050 for Vocals/Voiceover. What would compare similarly?

    • @LEWITT-audio
      @LEWITT-audio  11 місяців тому

      If you are looking for roughly the same feature set, the LCT 640 TS is the most equivalent (although it has some extra pad, low cut and polar pattern options). It also has much lower self-noise. If you don't need those extra features, I would also highly recommend checking out PURE TUBE. It's specifically optimized for vocals, gives you a classic tube sound (warm and silky!) with exceptionally low self-noise (7dBA).

    I just discovered LEWITT mics, and I’m now considering picking up a pair. I want mics that I can use in a stereo pair to record instruments like acoustic guitar, upright piano and violin. What mics would you recommend for this use, if you have a mic that is as flexible as I need?

      The LCT 240 PRO will do a fantastic job. But you would also need an audio interface to connect it to your computer. The mic pairs quite nicely with our CONNECT 2 audio interface. If you have further questions, we are happy to help 😊

    • @riangarianga

      You shouldn't care about any label on it, or about what others do. If it does what you want, that's all that matters.
      Like the Shure SM57 is an instrument mic considered to be the tried-and-true choice to record guitar cabs, but there you had it being used for decades as the mic of the US president.

    • @LEWITT-audio
      @LEWITT-audio  11 місяців тому +3

      LCT 640 TS is a fantastic microphone for vocals. When it comes down to it, it's a very versatile microphone so you might hear about it for a lot of other things like guitar, drum OHs, rooms... but it's certainly being used on vocals too.

    • @fredriksjoholm5652
      @fredriksjoholm5652 11 місяців тому +1

      I actually bought a 640 ts my self a while ago just for the versatility of changing polar patterns and stereo recordings. I use it for vocals and acoustic guitar and I’m really satisfied of its clarity and great sound. I don’t have to do a lot of eq-ing afterwards. Just great sounding.😊

    Greetings. help me choose
    i write voice and guitar (sometimes i have problems with sibilants)
    I'm choosing between lct 550/lct 640ts/pure tube. I am also considering TLM103 and warm audio 87R2. I currently have an At4040/4050 and I didn't really like it.

    • @LEWITT-audio
      @LEWITT-audio  6 днів тому

      The LCT 550 has been discontinued and replaced by the LCT 540 S. LCT 540 S has the most articulate high end detail, LCT 640 TS is very well balanced as far as the LEWITT sound goes and PURE TUBE has a more neutral midrange and slightly warmer tone with a very smooth, silky top end.

      Most our condensers would work well but I'd recommend the LCT 140 AIR. It has an "Air" mode and "Flat mode" for tamed high end (which can be very helpful on brass).

      LCT 540 S or LCT 440 PURE would be most comparable in terms of features and sound. Both have a lower self-noise and higher max SPL. LCT 540 S has additional features including a pad switch and low cut options as well as ultra low self-noise (only 4dB).

    Guys, if there's someone out there who tried both LCT 440 PURE & LCT 441 FLEX can you tell what's the difference besides from different directionalities that FLEX offers. Like does FLEX set to cardioid directionality records the same thing as PURE does or there're some differences in circuits etc.? I'd like to record vocal mostly so now I'm choosing between PURE & FLEX

    • @LEWITT-audio
      @LEWITT-audio  9 місяців тому +1

      The sound differences between the LCT 440 PURE and the LCT 441 FLEX in cardioid are very minimal. LCT 441 FLEX was designed as the multi-pattern version of the LCT 440 PURE. Hope that helps!
