I'm very pleased with the purchase of the LCT-440 Condenser Mic. It performs better than the other mics I've purchased in this price range. The clarity is great. Quality of construction excellent. The xlr pins are of good quality with no movement. The mic support is different than most but I quickly got used to it. It comes with a foam wind cover. I have not used that.. I still rely on my round traditional screen. I definitely recommend this mic. It is my go to recording mic.

Creo que la mejor opción que pude hacer. Encantado con el micrófono

I'm professional singer and i love how it sounds. Definitely would work for all possible purposes.

Durch hohe Rezensionen vorheriger Käufer und Vergleich-Videos mit teureren XLR-Mikrofonen und dem sehr gut ausfallenden Ergebnisses habe ich mich dazu entschieden, dieses Mikrofon zu kaufen und zu testen.Das Design, die Qualität und das Gefühl des Mikrofons sprechen schon für sich.Alleine, dass die Verpackung für Menschen ohne Mikrofonarm oder -ständer durch die Anfertigung extra als Mikrofonständer für den Tisch umgebaut werden kann und somit die Benutzung für jedermann gewährleistet wird, ist schon ein sehr großer Pluspunkt.Beim ersten Test war ich extrem überrascht über die reine Qualität der Aufnahme. Ohne jegliche Bearbeitung oder Plugins ist der Klang so voll und clean, es gibt kein Grundrauschen und weder übersteuert der Bass noch wird er geboostet, die Höhen sind und bleiben Clean und hören sich stets angenehm an.Die Positionierung am Mikrofon fällt hier meines Erachtens nach als sehr Wichtig aus, für mich im Vergleich zu anderen Mikrofonen auffallend.Ist keineswegs ein Nachteil, eher gut zu nutzen für Background Vocs, Layering etc.Der Pop-Schutz hält durch Magneten, hätte man bestimmt irgendwie besser machen können, ist aber auch tatsächlich ziemlich irrelevant. Ich würde auf jeden Fall noch einen weiteren Pop-Schutz verwenden.Zusammenfassend ist dieses Mikrofon eine 10/10. Ob vom Klang, vom Aussehen, vom Sound her oder der Verpackung, es ist wirklich das beste was man für dieses Geld bekommen kann.Klare Kaufempfehlung.

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.

This microphone is probably the best microphone I've ever had. I've had a TON of microphones from shure to blue to Rode, and this is my favorite one.I heard of Lewitt after looking into AKG microphones. I recently purchased a really nice audio interface that I can eq and the microphone I was using (Shure SM7B) was really struggling to keep up with what I was wanting out of it, and I heard really great things about the AKG C214 and the AKG C414. After researching and reading specs about the c214, I was about to pull the trigger until I came across Lewitt and the LCT 440.The two things that made me pull the trigger on this rather than the C214 was on one hand the price, which was almost $150 cheaper when I bought it, and on the other it sounded almost identical, if not better than the C214. After getting it and setting it up, I immediately fell in love with how good this thing sounds and how durable it feels, and it's accessories.One of the other microphones I've used extensively is the Blue Baby Bottle SL and that microphone sounded good, but was one of the more lackluster build quality mics i've used. The lack of popfilter was really irritating to me and the shockmount was also pretty subpar. The microphone itself was something that I've had to return and replace in the past due to build quality issues. So i was skeptical going back to a condenser microphone.When I ordered the LCT440 however, I was worried because the shockmount was made out of plastic, however it doesn't feel flimsy at all. I have had bad luck with shock mounts on other mics, even ones that were metal. This one feels infinitely more durable than anything I've ever used, not to mention the inclusion of a really great magnetic popfilter and an equally great windscreen if you'd prefer. Also, the microphone itself is completely made out of metal and is actually a relatively small package, making it look really good on camera due to the low profile nature of it.On top of all the build quality and QOL inclusions, it is THE best sounding microphone I've ever used. Straight out of the box it sounds super good and clean, however with a bit of eq it is easily the best sounding microphone that I have ever heard, rivaled only by microphones above the $1K price range. This microphone really feels like Lewitt thought of EVERYTHING and carefully designed everything to be the best microphone that they could possibly make. The ONLY con I've been able to find is that the microphone doesn't have a 360 degree field of motion, so basically what this means is that if you want your boom arm to your left or right, its going to be a bit of a weird setup, unless you have the microphone sit right in front of your face. But this isn't really that big of a deal considering you could buy something like the Audio-Technica AT8459 mount and position it wherever you want, or you can just set it a few feet away from your mouth and turn your gain up since it is a condenser.Without a doubt, this is the best feeling and sounding microphone I've ever had. Lewitt is truly doing the lords work in the microphone industry, making an absolute beast of a microphone for under $300 is no small feat, and Lewitt deserves nothing but praise for this microphone.

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. :)
