This is the best review for for a mic I've ever seen. It covers the things that really matter for people who use microphones for real, and fair conclusions.
I like this mic. A good price for entry level. And since the sound is so bright, especially in the high tones, it might benefit some voices and become perfectly suitable for some applications I cannot think of off the top of my head because I'm dumb. Kudos to Lewitt for replying in the comments, too!
I am a singer and I want to upgrade my home vocal recording setup from usb condenser to XLR. I am confused with the following options: 1. AKG P120 2. AKG P220 3. Lewitt LCT240 Pro 4. SE Electronics X1a Suggest me which one to choose and why? Note : My room is non-treated.
@@IshaanNigamOfficial I am by no means an expert in audio equipment. I would suggest watching Bandrew's other videos (specifically with the mics that you've listed) and making a table of pros and cons if it's TMI. That should do the trick. Maybe it's a video idea for @Podcastage or maybe he can reply here. I also heard he had a discord server full of audio enthusiasts (link in description box) so it can be your destination where you could get all the answers and people's experiences. Good luck with you singing career and your setup upgrade.
Just got mine today. I have it positioned a couple of inches away from my Violin. Loving the detail. To my ears, it offers a very accurate representation of the instrument. There's a lot to like about this.
hey Bandrew, can you please do a list of top 10 mics under $100..? the last one you did was two years ago and we've got so many new microphones since then.. ps: big fan of your work..love from India..
HEY Man, excellent commentary AND review as usual... I'VE HAD THIS mic round a year... it ain't no 414, BUT...SHE REALLY SOUNDS GREAT ON ACOUSTIC GUITARS, DRUM OVERHEAD, CERTAIN ELECTRIC GUITAR APPLICATIONS; SOUNDS PARTICULARLY SWEET ON MULTI TRACKED BACK GROUND/HARMONY VOCALS, BACKING VOCALS PANNED AT ROUND 10 AND 2 O'CLOCK

Hey man! First of all thanks for the great content! But yeah, I have a question/suggestion: how to choose a proper mic for different types of voices? If you think that'd be a good idea, a video guide would be amazing!
The tracks that come with Lewitt's band demo performance "The Palace" have the singer in 240 Pro and 440 Pure. I struggled choosing one and ended up preferring the 240. Anyone considering these mics should check out that multitrack.

Hey Bandrew! I've got Pete`s pronto just like you wanted...where do you want me to put it? Oh, and the Lewitt is much clearer in the highs than the AT. Just add a little EQ to taste. The Lewitt is the better mic!
You echoed my thoughts exactly, after watching several reviews of the Lewitt mics on the Booth Junkie channel. I love how open and articulate it is, the design is beautiful, and it's a great price, but the highs are just too pronounced and harsh for me.

What self noise do you think is best for voice over? I'm thinking about the MXL 770X which has an equivalent self noise of 16db and was wondering what you'd think. Also if you could review this mic it would be awesome, there is like two videos about it and one is in Dutch haha. ALSO, GLAD TO SEE LEWITT ANSWERED YOU BACK!! :D
I think 16dBA is acceptable. I suppose it would really come down to what your client's project requirements are. For youtube voice over, then absolutely that would be sufficient.
Bought this mic but I experienced popping and static sounds coming from studio monitors and headphones when turning on the gain knob for the mic. I returned it and returned my focusrite scarlett solo 3rd gen as well. I reordered them again and experienced the same issue again :( I have reduced my sample rate to 48khz and matched it on my sound settings. Still same issue. I reinstalled drivers and still same issue. Tried different DAW and still same issue. I am running xlr to trs balanced cables from studio monitors to the interface. Any thoughts??? All help appreciated!
Gosh dang it I like you. No fluff, no what's up TH-cam, just straight nerddom. Sincerely, your early 20's best friend from another life. Let's start a band. Idk.
1:32 Strange... the frequency response chart you show is now different on Lewitt's website. What you show here looks identical to the 440. Lewitt is now showing the 240 to have a much steeper drop below 200hz.
That is very strange. Maybe they updated the microphone? I'm not sure. But that would make a lot more sense that it has a steeper drop in the low-end because it is not the beefiest sounding of mics. Thanks for pointing that out, it's very interesting.
How much gain should I apply on my interface, that would make the lewitt sound great, minus the self noise you mentioned. I plan to use it for VO. Your expertise is really needed here, thanks
hey there loved the review im thinking of getting this mic but i was just wondering what boom arm that u have connected to it and if u can can u send the amzon link please and thank you
Do the lct 540 subzero please. Really interested in that mic. I think you wrong about the electric guitar on this one. Sounded great, not muddy at all on my airpods. 🤷🏻♂️ pretty phenomenal sound for 150 dollars. 19db self noise sounds high in comparison to the 540’s 4db but realistically it shouldn’t be a problem, especially for voice overs. Sony c800g, the most expensive and probably most common pop and rap mic has an 18db self noise even with that big ass heat sink supposedly there to cool the tube and reduce noise 🙄
Everything has some kind of warning these days. The probability of a person dying from cancer because he or she bought this mic it’s almost zero. It’s much likely that someone will die from cardiovascular diseases or diabetes than cancer.
Hi bro i need your help. The mic holding clip that comes with the mic broke. I just want your help and suggestion if this mic can fit in any universal shock mount or will it fit into the specific mount that comes for 240. Also please let me know the diameter of this mic so that i can see for other options too. Thanks. Reply awaited.
It's best for condenser mics to have a good area to record, like a room with good padding and no echo. So it's likely a no. However, if you are living in a silent place, which I assume. You'll be good as long as you're in a well padded room.

You would think Glenn Beck would use a quieter microphone. It sounds good, but can Beck only come up with 150 dollars for a microphone? Of course, Beck is pumping it through serious audio processing.
It's about picking the right tool for the job, and I'm guessing they did their research and decided this was the right option. I think he uses the 440 though. I was asked to ID the mic and I compared the capsule size and it was the 440 iirc.
Interesting. It's definitely a little sharp to my ears, I can work with it but .... Meh I'll keep hunting. Man I would love a Pure Tube one of these days. It's kinda awesome :D Another great review
You are the man. You just saved me one $110 Plus tax. Amazon is selling the Lewis with that Kick-Ass shock mount for 110 from 200 right now. I hate my 2035 shock mount because it's scratches up the mic and wanted that shock mount. Now I know just to look for the shock mount.. *****any suggestions for the 2035 shock mound? I'm never using the one that it comes with again
The 2i2 and 18i20 have the exact same performance. Same preamps. Sams converters. The only difference is the 18i20 rack mount has 1dB more noise due to the main power supply. So the sound you're hearing should be the exact same as you'd get on the 2i2.
Yeah. The 2035 is more nasally so depending on preference that’ll make it very easy to decide. Both are easily solvable in post. Just depends which you’d want to fix in post or if you think nasaliness is something that needs to be fixed.
@@Podcastage For me, the Lewitt is the clear winner. It is more detailed than the AT, which I think is the grainy one. Listen to the quality of the treble, not the amount. Buy the Lewitt and use a good EQ = job done! Thanks for the clear review!
I’ll start by saying this. I’ve never mic’d a piano. With that being said, I’d imagine you would want more neutral microphone. Also I don’t think that that graininess in the upper frequencies would be as forgivable on a piano. I could be wrong on all fronts though because as I mentioned I have never miced up a piano.
I have not recorded hip-hop vocals and I do not record hip-hop vocals, so I don't know what the criteria or desired sound really is. I have not used the X1a so I am unable to comment on that mic. The LCT240 is the brighter of the two mics between the AT2020 and LCT240, so it depends on if you want that added clarity or not. I can't tell you which one you will like the sound of better though, you get to decide that and that's the fun of it. Sorry I can't provide you with an absolute answer on this stuff, there's a lot of preference involved in it.
Could absolutely be used for music, voice, etc. at the $150 price it’s compelling. Not the best at Bg noise rejection so probably not the best for gaming or recording in noisier environments or completely untreated rooms.
Well, you can sure play a guitar, damn. Do you think I'm wrong in thinking that a pop filter designed to fit snug against the mic is kind of worthless? All these Lewitt mics sound a bit too crispy for me. In that price range, I still recommend to new narrators the 2035. Such a solid little beast. Thanks for another great vid.
I hope I didn’t call it a pop filter. It’s a windscreen which is a lot thicker and denser foam and Is intended to absorb the wind to avoid it hitting the diaphragm. Not as effective as a pop filter at rejecting plosives but still does a somewhat nice job here because it’s so thick and dense. And it takes care of some of the high end. They are definitely crispy, which depending on your definition, I don’t think is inherently bad. If it’s bright/crispy, but smooth, I think it’s perfectly fine and it’d come down more towards preference.
@@Podcastage Oh no, I didn't explain properly. No, I put one of those windscreens on my NT1 for the same reason, just because I like the wee little edge taken off. No I'm referring to those silly little pop filters that Lewitt mics come with that snap right onto the grill. good design concept but do they do the job, compared to a pop filter a couple inches away from the diaphragm?
Biggest Little Audio House oh! I think it depends on the pop filter. It certainly won’t be as effective as of it was 6” off the mic. But it might still be fine, but not as good as it it were farther away.
well, you can freaking play a guitar, that's for sure. btw, tell me if I'm wrong in your opinion, but as cool as the pop filter is, It seems to me that placing the pop filter damn near against the mic does virtually no good. thanks again for another great vid.

@@Podcastage Oh no, sorry, I wasn't clear. That wind screen is something I also pop over my NT1 because I like how it takes a tiny edge off. I'm talking about the wee little snap on pop sheilds that Lewitt mics come with.

this one with Behringer TM1 which one better? thanks
Which one did u buy?
What would you recommend that mic for (commentary, podcasts, etc)?
Could absolutely be used for music, voice, etc. at the $150 price it’s compelling. Not the best at Bg noise rejection so probably not the best for gaming or recording in noisier environments or completely untreated rooms.
@@Podcastage Oh, ok.
at2035 or this ? @@Podcastage
Do AT 4047
"Please bring Pizza pronto" Que grande ste men
is it big difference between 2020 and 2035? thx!
Well, you can sure play a guitar, damn. Do you think I'm wrong in thinking that a pop filter designed to fit snug against the mic is kind of worthless? All these Lewitt mics sound a bit too crispy for me. In that price range, I still recommend to new narrators the 2035. Such a solid little beast. Thanks for another great vid.
I hope I didn’t call it a pop filter. It’s a windscreen which is a lot thicker and denser foam and Is intended to absorb the wind to avoid it hitting the diaphragm. Not as effective as a pop filter at rejecting plosives but still does a somewhat nice job here because it’s so thick and dense. And it takes care of some of the high end. They are definitely crispy, which depending on your definition, I don’t think is inherently bad. If it’s bright/crispy, but smooth, I think it’s perfectly fine and it’d come down more towards preference.
@@Podcastage Oh no, I didn't explain properly. No, I put one of those windscreens on my NT1 for the same reason, just because I like the wee little edge taken off. No I'm referring to those silly little pop filters that Lewitt mics come with that snap right onto the grill. good design concept but do they do the job, compared to a pop filter a couple inches away from the diaphragm?
Biggest Little Audio House oh! I think it depends on the pop filter. It certainly won’t be as effective as of it was 6” off the mic. But it might still be fine, but not as good as it it were farther away.
@@Podcastage Indeed. so, like Chernobyl... "Not great, but not terrible..." :)
WAIT... so stickers 'bad'...wrist bands 'good'?
which is the best vocal mic under 150 bucks
To my ears it's the AKG p120 which edges out the AT2020 in having a bit more body to its sound. But if you're on a budget, either is fine.
240 Pro or 2035 or SE X1S ?
Which better ?
Wonder the same
well, you can freaking play a guitar, that's for sure. btw, tell me if I'm wrong in your opinion, but as cool as the pop filter is, It seems to me that placing the pop filter damn near against the mic does virtually no good. thanks again for another great vid.

@@Podcastage Oh no, sorry, I wasn't clear. That wind screen is something I also pop over my NT1 because I like how it takes a tiny edge off. I'm talking about the wee little snap on pop sheilds that Lewitt mics come with.
