Couldn’t agree more. I review microphones as well…I have both mics and the LCT 240 pro is my absolute favorite! So crisp, clear, vibrant and the presence is so nice! And so way to EQ as well!!!
I just bought this mic myself so looking at some reviews and I just want to say, this is a top quality video, definitely more than earned the subscription.
If you're going to use processed audio when doing mic reviews then at least show us the exact settings you're using on your VST plugins to get the sound, otherwise it's pretty much useless. Better still, don't process the audio at all.
Which would be better- Lewitt lct 240 pro vs. audio technica at2020 vs. at2035 or any other condenser mic for warm vocal (recitation) recording for a soft and low-voiced male voice?
Thank you for you video, I have that lewitt mic but I hear a lot of sibilance sounds, that is not easy to listen, any ideas and how to reduce that?, I tried eq with no good results.
The Lewitt mics are pretty bright and not great for people with sibilance issues. Try a dynamic EQ VST and set it to reduce the gain on your specific sibilance frequency.
I never got the hype of the SM7B. If you have an SM58 and sound good on it, just save yourself 300 bucks and keep using it. As for condensers, this LCT240 Pro is solid. Picked one up a couple days ago to try something different and it's pretty great. Wish the EIN/self noise was less but for 120 I'm not complaining. :) peace
AKG was bought by Samsung, and some people left the company and founded Lewitt in Austria. This is at least what I have heard. Very reasonable and well presented!
haha 05:43 is such a hoot. Always wanted to say that to some of those idiots. The Lewitt has so much more clarity and brightness. The Shure is lifeless.
Just picked up the Lewitt for its price and versatility. I plan on using it for vocals and comparing it to my other mics in experiments with guitar and other instruments. Got it for 99 bucks and hoping it punches above its weight.
Shure SM-7 (as all dynamic mics) is front/end address mic. Lewitt LCT 240 is a large diaphragm condenser mic and is side address ( as all large diaphragm mics are)Just to make it clear :)
Thank you for this video! I'm looking for my first mic and I almost bought an SM7b just for streaming and conference calls at work 😅 Do think that paying extra for Lewitt 240 and Elgato XLR audio interface over just the Elgato wave 3 mic is worth it?
I just got this today and set it up. For the price, it's an incredible value. The LCT 440 is definitely next on my list if I want to boost more quality.
@StreamGearTalk They just don't understand the value they are getting from Lewitt microphone's. Quality products for a reasonable price. When the LCT 540s is 60 percent less in price and is just as good as a TLM 103, you have to question if it's justified to mark it that high. Neumann has incredible microphone's however if the name isn't important, then an alternative must be considered. I'm definitely happy to find Lewitt, and they deserve more recognition for their microphone's.
