Hi, great sounding mic and great video review! I am a student at OIART CAN. We study and test different microphones everyday, including the ones compared in this video. I have already sent the product link to my teachers and hopefully it becomes an addition to our collection. Would love to try this out!

I think this would be the perfect first large budget microphone… the sound is amazing, but would also like the Neumann microphones in the arsenal… but this microphone just seems like you can tailor it, not just to each song specifically, but the different parts of each song… it’s technically more than 6 microphones by the variables between all the sounds of it… I think the tiny amount your missing in comparison to the Neumann microphones is achievable through your preamp and processing stage… the way it omni sounds for room reflection mind is something incredible… definitely a new studio classic… definitely the one expensive microphone small producers should be thinking about… great stuff, I’ve got it now as a first possible choice on my studio budget list… I mean finding out from the company the cost of the monitors also, the best and most universal products are nearly all here… great time for the studio world!
@ramspencer54922 жыл бұрын
"Budget" apparently, must be an extremely versatile and relative word! And a $3,500 microphone as a good "first microphone" is not going to resonate as even slightly the last bit fiscally viable for most people's situations! 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣 I think it offers a lot of versatility at a very high quality for the same amount of money as a Neumann U87. (which is also not a "budget" or entry level microphone! I'd love to have one of these..... But I wouldn't recommend anyone but something like this as their first microphone! No matter what their financial situation..... When you're starting out with something, the learning curve is huge and not everyone will even stick with it. A first microphone should be something that hopefully it's capable of producing pretty decent results as you learn. A good first microphone for example might be a Rode NT1.... Which is a neutral and surprisingly capable microphone at a 1/10th or less if this price!

It worked sinply great. The LCT 1040 is simply beautyful designed and sounds awesome! I hope you can keep it! Insane job by LEWITT!

Thank you for your video, and for the others, too. For better comparison, I think that for guitar loop something else should be chosen, something with more high frequencies, not mainly lower ones with mainly percussive content. That way, we can better compare mics. Personally, my favourite is AKG C414. Lewitt is also great, thanks guys!

@Marcotronic somehow I can not see your reply to my comment - only in my notifications. But let's pretend this is a YT bug. First at all, I have ears too. Have you watched Rick Beato's video "perfect pitch and why people lose it"? It's a pretty interesting video on the "I have expert ears" topic. Secondly, I'm sitting in a pretty neat studio with monitors that are customized for the room - which has a reverberation time of 300 milliseconds across the spectrum down to 50 Hertz btw - sadly no Lennart's - but it can't be my humble setup either. Which means it can only be my ears - but I'll make an appointment to see a doctor so I can rule out that possibility too ;)
