  • Finally found my forever desktop microphone.
The LCT-440-Pure Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone is a true gem in the realm of audio capture, and I am ecstatic to share my experience, with a particular focus on its rich bass response and exceptional directional pickup pattern. Let's talk about the richness of the bass – it's simply outstanding. The LCT-440-Pure captures the low frequencies with a warmth and depth that brings vocals and instruments to life. Whether I'm recording vocals, acoustic guitars, or even deep-pitched instruments, the microphone faithfully reproduces the full spectrum of tones, adding a luxurious richness to the audio that's a joy to work with in post-production. The directional pickup pattern is another standout feature that sets the LCT-440-Pure apart. The cardioid polar pattern ensures precise focus on the sound source, minimizing unwanted ambient noise from the sides and rear. This makes it an ideal choice for studio recording where clarity and isolation are paramount. The microphone's ability to capture sound with precision enhances the overall quality of recordings, allowing for a professional and polished final product. The build quality is exceptional. The robust metal construction not only exudes durability but also contributes to the microphone's ability to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion. The attention to detail in the design is evident, from the shock mount to the low-cut filter and attenuation pad, providing versatility and control over various recording scenarios. Setup is straightforward, and the microphone's compatibility with a wide range of audio interfaces makes it a versatile choice for both beginners and experienced audio enthusiasts. The low self-noise ensures a clean signal even in quiet recording environments, allowing for pristine recordings without unwanted hiss or hum. In terms of value for money, the LCT-440-Pure is a solid investment for anyone serious about achieving professional-grade audio recordings. The microphone punches well above its weight class in terms of performance, delivering results that rival much higher-priced alternatives. In conclusion, the LCT-440-Pure Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone is a powerhouse in the recording studio. Its rich bass response and exceptional directional pickup pattern make it a standout choice for anyone seeking a versatile and high-quality microphone. Whether you're a musician, podcaster, or content creator, the LCT-440-Pure is a reliable companion that elevates your audio recordings to a whole new level. ... show more

  • Probably The Best Microphone I've Ever Used.
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. ... show more

  • 6 Years Strong And It's Still Amazing!
I'm surprised I haven't reviewed this microphone, considering I bought it in 2020. To keep it honest, I love it and it's the best mic I've owned so far. I think my favorite feature about it is that it's basically "featureless". What I mean is that it's a bare-bones mic. There are no bells and whistles, no special touch screen or different polar patterns. Out the box, it just works. I really dig the noise level as well. I do Youtube professionally, so good sound quality is important to me, and this mic delivers. It's pretty sensitive at first, but once you play it back through a recording, you realize how much background noise doesn't make it through, yet it picks up my voice and makes it sound crisp and clean. Setting it up is pretty simple as well. Like I said, it's pretty bare-bones, so it only comes with the mount (which is nice and sturdy), the foam wind screen, and the magnetic pop filter, but honestly I think the few accessories speak for themselves. There's plenty to say about it, but I think I'll leave it at how light it is. I used to have a Blue Yeti, and for anybody out there who knows, that thing is heavy as all hell. It was so heavy that it used to drag down my boom arm. After switching to the 440 Pure, it was a night and day difference. For anyone out there in the market for a microphone, I recommend this one for sure. ... show more

  • Incredible Mic/Incredible Value
I collect mics like other people collect expired yogurt containers (don't @ me... it's a thing!) and recently stumbled across a bunch of reviews of -other- mics they were comparing to the LCT 440 Pure. I was intrigued and figured while its not the cheapest mic around, it isn't in the $500-$1000 range, and worth a try to see if I might have a use for it in my studio. It arrived the other day and as folks have said, its gorgeous and built like al little tank. So I pulled a cable and plugged it into my mixer and the first thing I notice was was the background noise - virtually nonexistent! I had read it had a low noise floor, but now its making me wonder about other (more expensive) mics in my locker, since this one disappears when you stop talking. The next thing I noticed was that unlike some other condenser mics I have (more expensive models from well regarded Japanese companies) the off-axis rejection of this mic is amazing... A couple of spots in my studio could use some boosted sound proofing, and in those locations I hear a lot of room and ambient and mechanical (computer fans, etc.) noise, which I can later tweak away, but the LEWITT LCT 440 PURE sounded like it was in a professional sound booth... Virtually no background noise picked up, but super sensitive to my voice. And with my voice the sound is sweet... A little boost creates some nice presence and I love the proximity effect with this mic (I can pretend I have the "pipes of the gods"). And the sound of my acoustic guitar through the mic is more natural than any other mic I have (including some small diaphragm condensers designed specifically for instruments.) Obviously mics are personal and as they say, YMMV, but I wouldn't be surprised if my LCT 440 had a twin brother real soon. ... show more

  • Been using this for years!
I've been recording voice overs, vocal tracks, acoustic guitar, as well as general gaming and discord calls for years now with zero issues. Love the sound this mic captures, great value, I've recommended it to friends in the past. :)

  • A step up for podcasting ...
I can't give you a huge run down like the other excellent reviewers already provided. Read those. You'll see they are remarkably consistent. That says a great deal about the quality of the mic. Prior to retiring I had purchased a mic to help produce training sessions within my company. It was a podcasting XLR mic from MXL microphones. It did okay, but wasn't anything to write home about. Recently I decided to start a podcast. No matter what I did the output from my mixer was both noisy and a bit harsh. I have a fairly mellow, calm voice. Not rich. But a good, dramatic baritone that's easy on the ears. But my old mic lost a lot of the richness. Worse, I had to crank up the input gain on my mixer. And up goes the noise. Switch out the mic with the Lewitt 440 Pure. Only that. Wowser!! I had to cut the gain level to about a third of what it was with the MXL mic. And just like that the noise faded into the background. Suddenly, my voice jumped to the forefront. Additionally, it does a great job of providing the rich lower register of my voice. I sound much more natural. It's response is fairly Friday with a little bit of lift in the upper range. It brightens the sound a bit. But not too much But be forewarned! You will need to practice with this mic. If you don't already know good ways to use the mic to avoid plosives and keep from overdriving it, then practice with the mic pointed to the corner of your mouth. That allows you to be close enough to increase the "presence" of the mic (the richness of the sound) without needing to fight plosive distortion. In a nutshell, this will dramatically improve the podcast and various recordings I will do with it. So go out and enjoy using this mic. It's a joy to use and listen to the resulting recording. Enjoy! ... show more

  • Good mic
Good mic. Airy yet warm. Good shock mount - I like that the part that "grabs" the mic is rubberized. The included magnetic pop filter is just absolutely awesome - working with those goose-necked clamp on pop filters can be so frustrating and clumsy. This is a no-frills mic with the goal of getting you the very most bang for your buck. No multiple pattern switches or filters. No back/front figure 8 recording available - just an attempt at the best basic large condenser for the price. I'll add that I bought this mic along with the sE4400, which occupies the same general space - a large vaguely AKG 414-ish condenser. By design, after listening to a lot of mic shootouts to compare mics and looking at what I could afford, I paired these two in my purchase because of their bang-for-buck and different characteristics. I found that the airy LCT440 and the warmer, darker sE4400 both give me good material out of the mic (with proper mic technique of course) but do a good job getting out of each others' way prior to any EQing on my part. I found that with the se4400, it was an additive process - choose what you want to boost in the upper range. With the no-frills LCT 440, it's going to give you everything it can and it is up to you to subtract in the eq. Generally, that's my impression. The whole LCT lineup, from the samples I listened to, look and sound excellent. sE seems to be doing a worse job at getting samples of their mics out there and marketing in general, but they seem somehow complementary to the LCT lineup. I was tempted to get the T2 instead of se4400 on the sE electronics side and the LCT640 or even LCT940 on the LCT/Lewitt side, but my budget vetoed those options. One wonders what might have been. Anyway, again, from my research, looks like LCT makes great mics, Their lineup has a bunch of mics that will try to give you the absolute most they can for your dollar as well as some mics with very interesting extra features. original review 4/4/18. Update 5/16/18 - still very happy with the LCT440 (and the se4400) My growing impression is that currently you can't go wrong with Lewitt mics at whatever price point you are at. One other way to go would have been just to get one of Lewitt's combined Tube/FET mics - the LCT940, they may have others - and just switch back and forth between tube and solid state instead of between mics. That'd be convenient for someone with little space, who travels, or perhaps wants to just get one expensive good goosneck boom mic stand and use one microphone without a lot of hassle switching mics or with switching mic position. ... show more

Really heavy duty! So heavy in fact that it can make the long tall stand tip over! It is a great product to get the job done. Easy to set up, and use. Clarity is spot on, and fits good! Highly recommend.
