LCT 440 PURE XLR Studio Microphone for Studio-Quality Recording

Really well built and great performing microphone from Lewitt.Shock mount and filter both work well.In terms of 'sound', I would describe it as 'clean'- although of course there is a boost in the high end and roll off in the low end in the technical specs. To the ears there is a pleasant but not overly present warmth to the sound but also with nice open clarity. It doesn't have the old radio broadcast very coloured warm sound (think radio presenter) but it also isn't too bright at the top end.Mine runs through a dbx286s and a dbx266xs in the chain with 'double compression', noise gating and de's'ing but with no changes to any frequencies (e.g. boost).Of course it is all a matter of taste and your voice- but I find it to be a great performing mic.I certainly prefer it over the AT2020, Rode NT1a, SE2200a and SE2200 which are the other microphones I own.With some many Sure broadcast mics out there I think this mic offers a nice change from the overly warm presence of mics such as those.

The sound quality of this mic is outstanding. Straight out of the box it sounds delightful, EQed better still. It has a level of richness and with detail that I find suits my voice far better than most other mics I've tried. Many will hate this but I far prefer its tone to the ever popular SM7B for the work I do. The noise floor very low at 7db and in my personal consideration I don't think you have to worry too much about sound reflection in comparison to other condensers I've owned. I think the best way I can describe it is that it sounds a lot like a Neumann 103 and considering that sells for over a grand the value here is absolutely insane! I've been very pleased with this purchase.

Really good mic. Better than the Sure NT1 signature. More smoother and less harsh in the treble.Does need a better supplied pop shield, the one supplied isn't that great at reducing vocal pop.

Watched a few reviews and found this mic never got a bad one. I was a little concerned that as area where I record in is not very well sound treated it might make things worse being a condensor mic but it was not the case. I just record in a bedroom corner, so there are soft furnishings as well as some foam tiles on wall which is better than nothing and I was very happy with results. Noise rejection is much better than I thought it would be and my voice without any processing sounds like me, for better or worse, which gives a good starting point for tweaking sound. For the money I feel its a good deal and I'm glad I took a chance, I don't think you would be disappointed if you bought one.

I've had a selection of large and small diaphragm microphones over the decades, mostly of the budget variety although I've had reputable name brands too. They all went when I finished with live sound production. Recently I needed a quality large diaphragm mic for a couple of purposes. The reviews online suggested this was a good option and I'm delighted to say it has proven to be the case. I took it to my friends commercial studio so we could check it properly and he was impressed enough to add one to his shopping list. Simply very good quality at an affordable price. I think I'll be checking out others in the range.

Bought this as an upgrade to my voice over kit. Must admit never heard of them before, I should have done!Fabulous piece of kit. Great mount and pop shield although I do use an additional pop shield more by choice than necessity.Exceptionally well built piece of kit.In terms if sound quality it is exceptional it does, as a number of reviews suggest, compare well to the U87 (yes I have worked with them) captures voice accurately without adding unwanted dynamics.Mics really need to match the user and this suits my voice completely. It is a very personal choice but I feel I would be hard pushed to beat it!!

Got here a bit late, but upon its arrival it was evident that this is a top quality mic. Plugged it in and was blown away by its sound. Worth every penny

Great sounding microphone although a little harsh at around 7k. But that’s easily rectified by EQ. Really makes acoustic guitar sing! Can’t wait to test it on metal guitars via amp.

Très bonne qualité de micro large membrane pour enregistrement. Bonnette et filtre antipop de qualité en plus et armature réduction vibration de qualité aussi. Sonorité très pure. Je recommande

Pure, cioè purezza...Ho provato il Rode nt1 4th gen, Rode nt1 5th gen e Audio Technica AT 2035.I Rode sono molto sensibili alle stanze non trattate acusticamente. Il 4th gen produce un suono troppo scuro e leggermente ovattato, poco presente. Il 5th gen ha una maggior presenza della voce grazie ad un leggero boost sulle alte frequenze.Entrambi molto sensibili e poco adatti ad usi casalinghi dove un buon trattamento acustico è quasi impossibile da ottenere.L'AT-2035 meno sensibile e più adatto alle stanze non trattate ma ha un suono che enfatizza troppo le frequenze medie, non affatto piacevole e poco adatto alle voci nasali.Alla fine come avrete intuito ho scelto il Lewitt. È vero che alcuni lamentano un'enfasi sulle alte frequenze, ma questo aiuta molto ad avere un effetto presenza ed un dettaglio incredibilmente vero.Ricordiamo che comunque è sempre possibile equalizzarlo in post, cosa che ovviamente si può fare col Rode per aggiungere presenza, ma ho notato che il Lewitt ha una marcia in più nel rendere la tua voce esattamente com'è, purezza appunto!I Rode mi sembrano più adatti ad un utilizzo per podcast e voci un po' stile radio.Non è un microfono a cui mancano le basse frequenze, anzi, sulla gamma medio bassa è assolutamente neutra. Dai 2Khz in su invece inizia la salita della risposta fino a 5DB. Questo conferisce aria, dettaglio e presenza alla voce, ma contrariamente a quanto ci si aspetta da questa caratteristica, le sibilanti sono piuttosto controllate.Lo sconsiglio soltanto ad una voce maschile poco calda, in quanto il boost sulle alte potrebbe risultare fastidioso.Proximity effect incredibile, a differenza del Rode che spara tanto sulle basse, questo conserva comunque un certo dettaglio e chiarezza mentre la voce prende corpo e calore, ed è davvero uno dei punti in cui questo microfono brilla.Il Lewitt, in conclusione, dà purezza, dettaglio, ricchezza e naturalezza. Per canto e doppiaggio secondo me, a questo prezzo, è davvero un prodotto che non vi deluderà.

Precisam apenas acreditar. Não achava que ficaria tão satisfeito, mas os resultados foram Incríveis

I've got this in a gooseneck on my desk and use it primarily for voice-overs for my Youtubings. In that context it is brilliant.In studio, I could see it working really well for any mid-range sound source that is very loud; guitar amps, trombones, tenor saxes; for this money you would be hard pressed to find a more efficient, flexible, and brilliant mic.I tend to adjust the sound in my DAW, so roll offs, filters, and whatnot on the mic aren't really a thing for me. If you want that level of precision pre-DAW, go get the 441 FLEX instead. This isn't the mic for you. :)
