440pure is excellent value for the money!!
I used it for Voice (speaking)
It picks up nuances and characteristics and easily outclasses anything in the $250 range. I'd say this beats everything to about $800 and then I'd look at the 540 Subzero by Lewitt (which s $700).
To explain... a lot of microphones, like the SM7B, have a "sound" that the microphone applies to a voice. It's almost like a filter. If you have a unique or natural voice and you use a microphone that applies it's sound signature you'll find that you ruin the voices natural gift. This microphone delivers the original natural sound beautifully, hence the "Pure" designation.
So, if you are beginning your professional journey into audio (podcasting, voice-over, or music) and you have a voice that is your "signature" this mic is for you. Period. This microphone will serve you deep into a professional career and you will be hooked on Lewitt.
Also by the way... many people think that they don't have a "good" voice; in actuality they have a beautiful signature voice, but it doesn't match the imaginary 'perfect' voice in their head. Love your voice, find something to say, and give it to the world unfiltered.
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.
I received the mic about a week ago and immediately put it to the test. I LOVE the sound. A nice warm low end combined with very smooth articulation. Also included is a very solidly built shock mount and several pop filter solutions. The microphone itself is build like a Sherman tank. Solid metal construction and good looking.
Hats off to this company. They've combined an insane amount of quality with a reasonable price tag.
The proximity effect is very pleasant too. The shock mount ok, plastic by feels sturdy enough. The pop filter is not the best but does the job. The mic is very compact and lightweight but feels solid at the same time.
Generally speaking - this is an amazing piece of audio equipment and I really glad to have 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.
But the price is a little too high for a start Mic, it also has a lot of features to justify the price but this is more of a microphone you should get when you are more confident with what you are doing!
I have the AKG 420, and compared they very similar to the untrained ear! My plan is to get this microphone when I have more money!
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.
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 it 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!
The sound quality is terrific, although it has a slight equalizer downcurve to the bass end of the frequency response, it is capable of grabing sounds as low as 20 hertz. I love this microphone, I was going back and forth between the Rode NT1A and this mic and I'm glad I chose this one! If you are debating about buying it, just do yourself a favor and look no further, this microphone will surpass most people's needs and desires.
If you are new to microphones or want the ability to connect it to your phone, just know that this is a condenser microphone which requires +48V phantom power. There are many interfaces on the market that will grant you the phantom power ability as well as a 3.5mm mobile.
