what xlr do you use with the color
Curious would u go 1040 or manley
Really cool comparison! Btw, if anyone has questions regarding LCT 1040 or any other LEWITT products, we'll be glad to answer them all.
Возможно, у вас появится в будущем версия 1040 FET без лампы и без внешнего блока управления, только микрофон и подвес.
Это позволит многим задуматься о покупк топового решения без лишних, не всем нужных дополнений и возможностей.
I've been using LEWITT 441 flex for a while now and it's been a great experience .
Although I'm quite satisfied with my current microphone but upgrading to LCT 1040 seems to be a great advantage.
Really not sure if I'm gonna buy it or not but reciving a gift from TEAM LEWITT will be amazing exceptional 😍❤️
I got a question. Between LCT 040 and LCT 140 Air, is the only difference in the switches that 140 model has or is it entirely different microphone?
Thanks in advance :)
is there a rent to owm version of this microphone?
I swear you guys would sell 10x if you dropped the green and black gamer branding, went more drab and professional. More studios would take you guys seriously

Will this mic gives good bass output for bass voices ?
definitely cool comparison bro - with you as a singer and such a talent any mics will shine - but that $3500 mic ALOT of difference. as always, you are an awesome talent and legit reviewer. keep up the awesome work!
Thank you so much for the kind words!! 🙏🏻
The 3 thousand dollars one sounds amazing but I don't thinks it worth buying when you can get similar sound with 150 dollars
It’s mainly for the features like the audio thibg
Everything has diminishing returns.
After one point the higher tiers offer so little in return for the money, but people choose them because they are slightly better, they are the best of the best, even tho the best of the best is like only 5% better than it's budged tier counterpart.
Uh so 1 the 1040 is more open with sound stage 2 the smaller one has no warmth and is probably fet so just a smudge harsher as far as +2k mics go it's a beast it's a better overall mic than a manley but I like manleys look and sound more I will say ur not as inspired by that tube as u think u would be with the 1040 lol
Honestly... Great vocals, got my LCT 240 Pro yesterday and can't complain one bit! for the £100 I paid nothing is better, but I will be for sure looking at more Lewitt products in the future that Valve sounded sublime.
Good comparison as always Ed. Greetings from the UK. I have been watching your reviews for some months now. I like that you give a shot to all of the mics that you can, even those that are insanely cheap with some being less than $45.00 £30.00. The reviews are always informative and help with making choices.
Are you lucky enough to be able to keep some of the mics that you are reviewing ?. I remember a while ago your saying that you would love a Neumann TLM103. last week I saw your review on the TLM102 -TLM103 and one other Neumann that I can't remember the model of right now. I hope you did get to keep the 103 that you have been longing for, for some time.
Wow!!! I can't believe you hit that D5 note...😮😮😮
tengo Lewitt LCT 440 Pure y es una maravilla versatil tanto para instrumentos como para voces una belleza :)
Woowwww bro.....my dream mic lewitt 440 pure😍😍😍😍
I can barely hear any difference at all 🤷🏿♂️. And yes, I'm using headphones. In any case, there is no one in the world who can convince me to spend $3500 on a microphone, not even if I was rich.
The only time the differences are extremely apparent to me is with the really cheap mics, like sub $100, but most of the time I don't hear any differences between expensive and cheap mics that have similar frequency response charts, sometimes I do, and at that point, which one you prefer comes down to personal preference and the oh so important question of: "Is this mic worth $2000 more than the other".
There’s a huge difference,the 240 high & mid Range are more harsh & the 1040 is a lot warmer. If you can’t hear a difference you should rethink your profession..
Amazing comparison! I really enjoyed the vocal part and differences between these two lovely mics!
I've been doing small studio production and recording since 2006. At this point, the only barrier for artists is good songwriting. The tools to make good music have gotten so affordable that the differences are sheer nuance and no longer about quality of sound.
The design of 1040 is gorgeous!
But for my need , I prefer the simplicity of non tube microphone, because I only record in bedroom situation ^^
Ncie review!
The $3,500 one sounds a tad cleaner (clarity), while adding a slight warm, analogue quality. I would still much rather buy the $150 one and add some tube saturation plugin to be honest.
the difference in price isn't just about sounding quality, the 1040 is a way more versatile microphone, due to it's different polarisation pattern, the combo between fet and Tube and the warm, dark and satureted preset. when getting that microphone u have more control on the sonic aspect therfore it can fit more application. But i still agree the 150 mic is doing really great for this kind of vocals a great choice for bedroom producer who want that crisp lewitt high end
@@Ezerlate Most engineers have no need for different polarisation patterns. It's not like you record with various polarisation settings all the time, usually you record (eg) vocals and use one particular polarisation for that purpose, not different ones.
@@esahm373 I’m just sayin if u want to use it for a vocal in one session and use it on a piano or with a band the next session. You might appreciate the possibility of selecting your polarity and switch from fet to tube. Never talked about changing the polarity during a recording.
@@Ezerlate That's fair. I would rather get two of the 150 bucks microphones rather than getting one 3,500 mic if I need polarity.
Why do you imply the mic that has more bang for the buck was a "bedroom" mic?
@@esahm373 well i find Lewitt under the 440 flex having to much boost in the high end. (I know high end is the trademark of lewitt but I feel like it’s a bit to harsh on this mic) I doubt you’ll find the 240 in a professional studio environment so I called it a bedroom or home studio if you prefer microphone
I’m leaning hard towards the LCT-940 over the 1040 at this point; I would love to see more 940 reviews; & thanks to Warren Huart for pointing us towards the fine Lewitt lineup!
840 is a beast!!
Dang! I'm on headphones and can not tell a difference! I'm thinking this might take sales away from the expensive one and boost sales for the $150 model. What say Lewitt? Would you tell us the category of capsule size? Large, medium or small? Thank you for the great comparison.
With your amazing vocal delivery there is really no difference in the mix :)
Thank you 🙏🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic You can´t call that singing, i don´t want to trow you hate but OMG you sounded so bad, a man can´t sing like that a man have to soun male. not childish like a 3 year old child, WTF dude
@@FerSpada Bruh no one asked for your opinion. He sounds awesome. Also, fix your grammar, no one's gonna understand you.
@@FerSpada hater 🤣
@@FerSpada damn, just get out your Bissell fun sucker 4500 why don't ya 😑
i couldn't find big difference... the video is amazing!!!
Is mid high got diference, and mid down but... Is no try to buy 1040 I gonna go to buy manley reference cardiod, has very powerfull to get
powerful microphones
dope review
dope content as usual
Thank you so much for always watching and commenting!! I appreciate your support!
Awwww shit!!!!! He done pulled out the nuclear missle of all mics!!! 😂😂😂 I have the LCT 940. I may upgrade to the 1040 but man!!! The 940 is tht good.
Blown away by my 240. Using them to cut my first 2 originals and looks like they may actually make the radio. 🤞🏻 Maybe one day I can get to try the 1040. If my 240 is this good, really hope I get to try the flagship
That 3.5 k mic looked legendary.
Every artist in main stream would love to taste that 😇😋
You can't be scared to reinvent yourself by bringing out a piece of kit like this. How do you get people to shop again ? ..re-invention ...love it. They've made a first purchase holy grail microphone for any serious studio whose just started up. Based on this ..we're all ears waiting for Lewitt's next top end stunner.
please upload series about music programing (Or) mixing mastering for fl studio tutorial love from ❤︎ 🇮🇳
I use the Lewitt 440 with the Apollo interface. Crazy combo
Super cool comparison! Great way to really listen to the differences!
Glad you enjoyed it!
I did not hear a Three thousand dollar difference, but there was a lot of distortion on your backing track, but vocals were clear and you did a nice job adding effects, but somethings wrong with the backing track.
I didn't hear any damn difference at all. Sometimes I feel like audio guys just say stuff because they know which one is which, do a blind test of 100 professionals and ask them which is which and I can guarantee they will fail half the time.
You're really quite wrong. Audiophiles, yes, absolutely. But unless it's some bullshit consumer technology, the difference between a professional mic at $150 and $3500 will offer a really big difference. Perhaps not in things you might consider to be useful if you don't know what you're talking about but it's not all about sound with something costing more. Ability to reject things off axis from the microphone, ability to reject interactions from adjacent walls and so on. Ability to gain it up really loud without its own electronic noise making a bucket load of hiss in the audio path for a few examples. Sound is hard. Go see a cheap concert.. The mics are feeding back and the sound is a mess and the lead guitar is unclear? Guess why that might be? Look at the above..
Really cool comparison! Both mics sound amazing but you can definitely hear the difference between the two.
Thanks for watching!
Super je sto ovo radis i imas like ogroman. Mislim da bi trebao pored tvog vokala da jos neko pjeva i drugi. Neko ko glasno pjeva jer se tu vec vidi kako koji mikrofon se ponasa. Na tihom je sve dobro
I have been in music production for 10 years. And I don't hear any significant difference.
For podcasting, do you need to go higher than the 240?
For podcasting, I would go with a dynamic microphone 🫣
I'm with Net Doma. I can fully appreciate the build quality and feature set. It's really frickin' cool. Seriously. But listening to the comparison in my studio on my Bose Bluetooth speaker, which is better than what most people will be listening on, it will be difficult to hear the difference in a mix for the massive difference in price. Bump up to a LTC 440 Pure and get tracking...
Exactly. I listened on a pair of Avantone cla-10a's and a pair of Genelec 1030C and while there might have been the very slightest of differences, for instance the 1040 having just BIT more body, I see no reason, whatsoever, to spend the extra 3K+ for the 1040. A simple EQ could get them to sound virtually indistinguishable to the vast majority of listeners and once placed in the mix, I think even extremely "trained" ears would have a hard time pinpointing which is which in a blind shootout. Those claiming there are massive differences are fooling themselves. I'm with you, if you're looking to go into the Lewitt line, perhaps bump up the 440, or if you're feeling spicy and have some money to burn, grab the 840. I see no reason for the 1040.
@@commonsense5188 I just recorded a mic shootout the other day with my Lewitt 440 Pure, my United Technologies Twin87 ($699) and my JZ Microphones Amethyst ($899). I recorded them through a Cranborne Audio Camden EC2 Preamp into an UAD Apollo clean line input. I have to say that I have really been digging this Twin87, but although the Amethyst sounded a little better, the 440 Pure sounded the best to my ears, At least on my voice on a modern rock song. So basically, the $250 mic won this round. Save your money...
@@good4sound Interesting. That's the thing with mics in particular. You just never really, truly know what mic will be "the one" until you actually get your hands on it. I've used various mics over the years and I can confidently say that as long as you don't buy a complete POS usb mic, you're pretty much going to be good to go if you know how to mix. With that said, yes, some mics "sound better" than others on certain voices, but I believe that's more important for those wanting to get it right at the source so to speak. Once you factor in mixing, the water gets murky. There have been countless shootouts where even seasoned pros couldn't decipher what was the expensive piece of equipment and what was the cheap piece.
Anyway, currently my mic selection is a TLM 102, Warm Audio WA-8000, and a Warm Audio CX12. I have nothing negative to say about any of them. They all get the job done so to speak. I recently got curious about the Lewitt line which brought me here just out of curiosity sake. Having said that, I would be lying if I said I didn't often think about selling my mics and just buying a decent mid line condenser and calling it a day and pocketing the rest of the cash, as once it comes to mixing, I've made many different kinds of mics work and at this stage, I only record myself and really have no need for more than one vocal mic. I mean seriously, I think at this point after all these years I could get away with a Lewitt 240 or a AKG 214 etc just for sake of argument for the gear snobs.
I mean think about it, out of the 3 I have which one do you use? They all sound good, they all 3 have difference voicings of course, but as I said, once it comes time to mix, those differences become moot. WHY do I have 3 vocal mics when all I record is myself? Gear lust is a real thing, that you often don't appreciate in all it's hell until after the fact. I mean, seriously, I have those 3 mics, and depending on which one I use, I then run that into a BAE 1073 mpf, into a Wa2a, into my Audient ID22. Could I do just fine running say, a lewitt 440 (just an example) into the pres on my Audient ID22 and call it a day? Sure. Are there benefits to having the BAE preamp and the Wa2a compressor? Yes. Are they subtle? Yes. The thing I'm getting at is, if someone reads this and you only plan to record yourself, don't waste your money on more than one mic, and don't spend a boatload on said mic, don't worry about unnecessary hardware etc. Just get a solid, decently priced mic with good build quality that will last, a decent interface and TREAT YOUR ROOM. If you do just those basic things and you can at least half ass mix, you're well on your way to quality recordings. This wasn't intended to be a rant, but here we are.
@@commonsense5188 I couldn't agree more. I have the aforementioned 3 mics and a Slate Digital ML-1. I have definitely gone down the gear lust rabbit hole, but in the end I usually grab whatever is already mounted on the stand and start recording. Just like The Beatles did. If the sound of the source (acoustic guitar sounds too boomy, for instance) I may change mics. I may back it off. I may EQ the crap out it. I may just hide it in the mix if it's not the primary instrument. I have 2 Schoeps CMIT-5u's that I use on a daily basis, but they serve a specific need and they sound fantastic. But for studio work, $300-500 buys so much these days.
@@good4sound Exactly. I would like to add in one more little anecdote for those who may be new to this and hey, you might agree or have come across similar instances yourself. But as I was sitting here reflecting on this little conversation it made me think back to when I started recording seriously. It was back in 2006 and I ran out to guitar center and bought a Sterling ST66 back when they were using the groove tubes in those mics and and a firewire m-box for an interface and a copy of Pro Tools. I built a nice little recording and mixing room in my parents garage (I had just turned 18.) I proceeded to learn all about mixing etc and recorded myself and so many other local artists. Mainly hip hop/r&b and some rock. All I used were that one mic, that m-box and Pro Tools and I did it all in that little room I built that had zero bass trapping and the walls were lined with bed foam since I wasn't aware of what PROPER room treatment was. I recorded male AND female vocals. Guess what? That mic worked on EVERY single voice I put in front it. Some needed a little more EQ than others, and perhaps that means it wasn't the "right" mic for them. But guess what? When it came time to mix, it DID NOT MATTER. Not one single client heard a finished mix and said "man, I really think we used the wrong mic on that." Over the years my mixing skills have undoubtedly increased and my gear has as well. But as I sit here thinking back while I'm sitting in my nice home studio all decked out, I look at this equipment and ask myself "which of these things do I REALLY need to keep?" Might be time to downsize and pocket some extra cash. This conversation has been quite enlightening. Thanks @good4sound
Thanks for these videos❤❤😊🙏🏾
Thanks man!!!
It’s all about the mids, the more expensive mic has a truer mid range response.
Edward, hello! Which lct 1040 setting was selected when comparing?
Interesting. Louder passages I preferred the 150$ mic...
Got a question here is it me or both mic sounds almost the same? Do you get 3250$ of upgrade in your sound compared to the more affordable version?
I honestly can not tell the difference. Even when they go through the settings Clear, Dark, Saturated, FET. I just don’t get it really.
You've got the X-factor buddy! Nice video review 👍
Hi Edward
I have a request
would you make an Q n A video ?
I might do one soon!! Stay tuned for question opportunities on my Instagram stories
Ma dream mic, anything good I can afford
insane mic for sure!!
awesome comparison
Thank you so much!
The 240 sounds amazing. I’m buying the 440
Your voice sits perfectly with both mics. Its very interesting how good they both sound. Im sure the 1040 is very versatile, but the price hurts... In your case and knowing that the 240 sounds good on the vocal/source I think I will go first to try it with a good tube mic pre before... For 1000-1500$ there are some nice options even with EQ that will also be useful for other things... Anyway, if the money is not a problem, or you don't want to have much analog gear around your studio... The 1040 is the perfect mic (in my opinion). Great video!
So true! Thanks for watching!
I saw the video from music studio, and there they were saying that they don't use tube preamp for condenser mics because it will sounds too warm :D, they said that they use it only for dynamic mics without much color
@@noobczsk8849 interesting point of view. I have to say that a good tube preamp could change and sculpt very nicely some mics. For example, I use mine with my AKG C414 II (which is a bright mic) and the warmth from the tube preamp change the mic character into a sound with more body. It makes it fatter, a bit more dark in a very positive way in my opinion. You can always drive the tubes more or less to get a more colored signal or more transparent… depending on taste.
In my case when a want more body and a bit of more low end and presence: Tegeler VTRC - Channel strip (Tube preamp, Pultec EQ, Opto comp & VARITUBE Comp)… one of the most versatile and good sounding Preamp I have ever tried… when I want clean harmonics and a rock solid Fet sound: Tierra Audio Lava Preamp ( I have one video in my channel reviewing this one) th-cam.com/video/rzcMCuGTs6M/w-d-xo.html
Best regards ;)
You help me a lot
I’m glad!!
Geesh, the LT 240 Pro is now $99 at Sweetwater. Amazing value!!
Dear Mr. Edward is that better than rode nt1?
will you able to do a comparison between wa8000, lct840 and oc818?
I have a big microphone comparison coming up next week that I think might help you out 👌🏻
Hey bro. I got the presonus eris 3.5 and sub 8 monitors from watching your reviews. I have an ssl2 interface. If you get an amazon echo dot you can make the whole setup bluetooth, and a smart plug can turn my whole studio setup on and off.
That sounds super dope!!
Great review! LCT 040 is their cheapest though, not the 240. That would be an interesting comparison 🤣
Hey could you make a video of the best Vocal microphones under $260?
I’m definitely going to do a budget “best microphones for vocals” video soon 💪🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic thank you very much
Sounds nice , if you can buy that you can also buy a de esser by the sounds of it
All the mic video doesn't help me but yours help me
Great 💪🏻
with 3.5K i rather have neumann u87 or tlm 103 or lauten fc387 or manley reference
with 3.5k I'd rather have the Lewitt LCT 440 and keep the rest of the money to do whatever I want
You really hear a difference... I'll stick with the 150...the 3500 only if you can afford and for bragging right. My thoughts.
Please, make a video comparing this beautiful monster vs the u87ai.
hi, can you please tell me, if the max spl for this microphone pre-attenuation is 137, does that mean that with the -24 attenuation the microphone can handle up to 161 of spl without distorting?
lewitt 240 wow... He is still fighting... Just wow.... He is In a race..😍😍.... difference what is that 😂.... Great one.. For Budget mic...
Your singing🔥🔥
Appreciate it 🙏🏻
Singing was horrendous but cool video
I honestly can not tell the difference. Even when they go through the settings Clear, Dark, Saturated, FET. I just don’t get it really.
I spoke too soon. There is noticeable brightness and clarity on the more expensive microphone during the RAW comparisons.
How'd y'all make your cash, Same time in highschool. What's the hustle?
they sound similar or is it just me i would rather pick the lct 240 pro compared with the lewitt connect 6
THIS MICROPHONE IS INSANE
Your voice just melting🥰😇
Thank you 🙏🏻
Compare this mic to the WA8000!!
Maybe in future 👌🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic It's going to be interesting!
Dude can't hear the difference, one is louder that's it.
can't tell any difference if i m blind folded
I want to see this mic vs. the Sony C800G and Telefunken 251.
Make please a video on slate digital ml please
I know it wouldn’t be apples to apples… but what about a Slate ML1 compared to a LCT 1040?
What song is this please answer^^
If you're going to spend this much money for a review, I think you should make a longer video, like over 10 minutes, or even 20 minutes of detailed review. Spending $3500 is way too much for a gear review in youtube. Well, I guess you have lots of money. But keep doing what your doing, I hope you will succeed more here in TH-cam so that all your hard work will be fully paid off.
Lewitt sent me this microphone 👌🏻
@@EdwardSmithMusic so that means it's free for you so that you could review it?? & help themm..
@@Jisooee yes, that is what sponsorships mean...
@@psyendacy but he should've said that in the video. So that all of us could know.
@@Jisooee I may be wrong but it might be a case that Lewitt sent him the microphone to have it reviewed on a video and he does not get to keep it.
you should compare that to nuemann!!
I want to get a Neumann u87 to compare it to 💪🏻
Can we connect lct 240 on mobile
Not much difference....
Everything depend on mixing and mastering..
Well there ya go guys, Ravi has spoken, and that is that.
I can hear the autotune on the expensive one😂
Didnt preferer the 1040 because the price isnt comparable... the LC 240 Pro makes a blilliant Job for 140 Euro
Anyone's pants get 6" too small when u saw him setting up the 1040?
I liked the cheaper mic better. Smoother and more natural sounding. The expensive 1040 sounded too sibilant and too much etch in the highs. I'm listening on nice headphones and system. I'd imagine a lot of peoples speakers and headphones don't have the detail so when something is overly higher sounding it makes it seem like it cuts through better and is better. Of course you recorded and leveled on your system so who knows how these mics actually sound in an expensive studio connected to very expensive gear. They are going to sound quite different than what you are getting out of them.
The cool thing about the LCT 1040 is you can set it to warm or dark and get a totally different sound that de-emphasizes high end and bring out more harmonics.
I would have loved a comparison between the LCT 440, 540 and 1040. Stupidly expensive, I know, but being able, to decide on the investment, actually needed would’ve been nice. It should be obvious after all, that an entry level 150 dollar mic doesn’t hold a candle to a 3500 dollar investment.
I'm planning to do a full comparison of all Lewitt's microphones very soon.
Awesome! That alone warrants a sub! 🤩
You did just sell me on that microphone though i'm thinking i'm about to grab it the bigger one
Me: I don’t hear the difference, I just want a podcast mic. Give me the cheaper one. 🤷🏻♂️ 😅
Must be quite heavy with all that when sitting on the stand.
if u know the editing skills like reduce base little bit with 240 pro ..then u get the quality as the expensive one microphone.....i think.....
You should have plugged the LCT 240 in your interface directly instead of using the saturator that came with the other microphone. You're not demonstrating a raw sound from the natural microphone.
there's not going to be that much of a difference without a high end preamp
for me doesn't worth it to pay so much!
The $3500 mic sounds better
Well to be honest i could hardly hear any difference in the 2 mics certainly not 3,350 worth, and within a full mix would listners say mm he should of used the LCT 1040.
Going to sound crazy but that 240 pro sounded better? Wtf that’s wild 🤷♂️ 😳 anybody else think the same?
I lover your vids but why do you have all this music in the background while you are talking. Very distracting and irritating, There is no need for it to be there. Would be so much better to just hear your nice voice, Just my opinion.
This 150 dollar mic is very interesting
Same both
No brainer! Buy the $150 mic !! Caus i cant tell. They both sound the same. Dont fall for the “ cost more , must be better “
That 150$ no brainer😅
Better go for Mojave MA 201 fet.
I can’t see myself wasting $3500 on one microphone cause that’s just a waste of money
