LEWITT LCT441Flex Multi Pattern Large Diapragm Mic

Heard about these mics from a metal recording engineer (Kohlekeller studios) and they sounded great while retaining uniqueness that separated them from other drum overheads. So I decided to give these a shot, and I am quite impressed with them myself! I've only used them for drum overheads and as a speaking mic, so I haven't had a ton of experience on other sources, but they have great character. I've tested out the different polar patterns available, and they indeed change the pickup pattern, though I've mainly stuck with the cardioid pattern for drums and maybe some figure 8 for voice chat. These mics definitely sound like condenser mics. Overall, I've encountered no issues with them overall. The shockmounts are quite durable and strong, mics sound great, and they're constructed well. Couple things to note: they need phantom power to work, they come with a pop filter and mic sock (for wind), but they don't come with a case. I like protecting mics with hardshell cases, and this doesn't come with one, but it does come with a small bag which is soft on the inside and a hard (faux leather) outer layer that feels like it would protect the mic from scratches. The biggest thing: great value for the money! A very professional large diaphragm condenser sound that is reminiscent of the mic type but is also unique in its own right. Faithfully captures all the sound sources I've tried.

I've only been using this for a few weeks but my LORD does it hit the spot. This thing sounds so clean, so clear. Mind your mic positioning, of course, but you'll definitely be pleased with how clean, clear, and effective this mic is. I've used it for everything from Main vocals to background, chorus, and gang vocals. It's REALLY strong for everything. The only thing it can't do well is sound like a beat up old vintage mic, because it's so well designed and so clean that it's just not possible without post processing. Do yourself a favor and listen to the audio examples on the website or youtube. I'm sure you'll find that for the price and for the featureset, not much else comes close. My favorite part, while a bit embarrassing to admit, is the way the polar pattern switching works. It's really simple. No knobs or external processing or an uncomfortable nub that feels cold and metallic. No, it has a simple set of clicking switches to rotate clockwise or counterclockwise. These two buttons allow for a huge amount of functionality on the 48v powered LED screen on the front of the microphone. You can switch patterns, ensure that a pattern is locked from switching, randomize polar pattern choices, and more! It's an incredibly useful and genius piece of design philosophy that gives you more power in an easier to navigate form factor. The polar patterns are plentiful and include multiple options, including cardioid patterns on BOTH sides of the mic (so you don't have to move a stand if, for example, you're limited on space and have two vocalists taking turns on either side of the mic), a bidirectional mode, useful for duets and interviews, and an omnidirectional mode that absolutely SLAYS on gang vocals. I've never had vocals translate this well directly to a mix. It's amazing. Please, PLEASE do yourself a favor. Get this mic. You may be amazed at how well it fits in any situation.

This is the best mic I’ve ever owned. Such an upgrade from my audio technica. It sounds so much like what my voice sounds like in my head. Try the different polar patterns for warmth or brightness. The sound quality is phenomenal. I feel like I need to re-record all previous audio.

As with all of the Lewitt condenser mics from the Pure 440 up, this mic offers amazing detail at just about any mic'ing job conceivable. Nice clear, modern sound that offers very transparent "processable" recorded tracks. Awesome drum overheads and room mics in Omni or figure 8 mode. Acoustic Guitar and vocals both shimmer using this mic. For loud cabinets, horns or close drum micing, you could use these but I would probably go with ribbons or dynamics for those applications anyway. Put a couple in your locker...you won't regret it.

This is a great mic with potential to sound great on everything. Like any other mic, learn how it works and play with positioning—it won’t let you down. I’m a huge Lewitt fan. Most companies are trying to emulate ‘classic’ mics, whereas Lewitt is doing their own thing and designing their own sound.

It’s more positive than I expected it to be. Great pick up

The recording quality is excellent. I love working with the mic.

Excellent mic that punches way above its price. Great overall package and value.

Vocals are just Perfect you don't even need to eq your vocals if you've treated your walls properly get high quality recordings with this lct 441 flex 64 thousand mic budget friendly! HIGH STUDIO QUALITY MICROPHONE WITH COMPETES WITH MICS BEYOND LAKHS AND STILL ITS BETTER BECAUSE OF THOSE 8 POLAR PATTERNS AND EVEN IF YOU ORDERED MICS UNDER 2 LAKHS ACCEPT THIS NO MICS CAN PROVIDE 8 POLAR PATTERNS LIKE THIS ONE One standout feature of the Lewitt LCT 441 Flex is its 8 selectable polar patterns, which is relatively uncommon in microphones at its price point. This allows for versatile recording capabilities, adapting to different sound sources and environments with precision. Additionally, the microphone offers high sensitivity and low self-noise, ensuring clear and detailed audio capture even in quiet settings. Its robust construction and included shock mount further enhance its value, making it a compelling choice for professional recording applications.

i am coming from an SM7B and this mic is the perfect next step for a more studio-ready microphone. The sound is a tiny bit bright which works for my voice but is really versatile and i highly recommend.

Çok iyi

Esta increíble el micrófono, llego muy bien empaquetado, con tus sus accesorios, aunque siento el modelo es más de marketing. Aun así están geniales.
