Mike, your enthusiasm is infectious, yet you're the consummate professional in your reviews! I found your channel about a month ago while searching for a suitable microphone to use while streaming. I actually ended up getting a Rode NT-USB (something I don't think you've reviewed yet), but the price was an absolute steal. While I have no intention of doing voice-over work, I've learned a tonne from your videos all the same. You're a joy to watch, and I look forward to seeing you in my subscription feed.
Both sounded very similar to me. Never heard of Lewitt before Mike's first video and am just so impressed with them. Good company doing interesting things.
Thanks Mike. I love how you point out the technical specifications without criticising the mics allowing we, the audience to judge for ourselves. Keep it up.
The Audio Technica 2035 is my weapon of choice for voice over. I love it.
Which audio interface will be better with at 2035
😂
Thank you for this video! I've been searching tirelessly for a condenser mic within my price range for my home music lesson/beginner home studio setup. I'm sold on the at2035. Well done. Great voice, btw.
Glad to see you're reintroducing the concept of frequency response into your reviews. Cheers.
I've been looking at many videos and yours truly are the best. Funny, well dictated and great information.
Best voice on the internet by far
2035 sounds like it has a tad bit more bass and body in comparison, but both very good
Probably because the LCT240 is actually a small diaphragm microphone :)
That's exactly what I was going to say.
Lct 240 pro may be very good for female singers as I think..and audio technical basically is good for all kind of voices..but both are really good😊😊
@@Wisiimyl smaller but not bad :(? Or?.. I want buy that mic next week
@@lara-lg4by No, not bad by any means. You just wont get as much bass. Ofcourse you could get really close to the mic and take advantage of the proximity effect and get some more low frequencies in your recording. I'd say, go for it. Learn its strengths and weaknesses and you will be fine.
I just picked up the 2035 about a week ago since I wanted a decent condensor to start doing VO with, and I wanted a condensor to go along with my SM7B, enjoying it a lot so far, it's a nice contrast to the SM7B.
Thanks for all the videos Mike, keep it up! I really enjoy them!
Got to know more about your set-up. On my side, I've been having problems and now I KNOW it's my equipment or more than often user error lol. Glad you liked the mic and awesome shootout!
Sir, I am a professional musician with some prior acoustics knowledge. I applaud you, how you manage to give a brief yet simultaneously very valuable mini-lecture about specifics of condenser microphones. You've got another subscriber. Thank you!
The AT2035 has been my go-to starter VO mic for years, but the LCT 240 Pro at $150 mic will be considered now after your great review. You do a wonderful job educating your viewers, Mike. Yes, the LCT is slightly higher in self-noise, but unless you have a studio as quiet as yours, you're unlikely to notice this. They both definitely need pop filters or extremely good mic technique, especially the LCT which has a very open screen. I heard some plosives on that mic.
Thank you again, Mike. The silent pause to compare self-noise was much appreciated. A bit of silence to check for self-noise is always helpful.
Silence mic, but the specs say that Lewitt has 19db of selfie noise! Not so silent ..
Mike, another great video... well done. I have a pair of Lewitt LCT 540 S and love em...!
Good sounding mics. And I like the way you do it. Instant comparison.
I turned my volume up thinking I have to listen as hard as I can and your coming voice scared the piss out of me
Love the vids man keep it up, just wish I found your channel before I bought my mic.
Thank you! The best explanation on those mics’ frequency capabilities 😮
Bought the 2035 because of this video, loving it!
How is 2035 after a year? I am planning to buy this one too
Me too
@@praveshvirsiddhu3179 still love it, nice and clear, reliable
2035 is at an amazing price! Thanks for the reviews
Wonderful to see you, and I'm so glad Lewitt picked you up!!!! A gift of continuing giving. :-) I do find the Lewitt to be more "airy." There's more space around the sound. Might not be what the artist wants as it's not as "personal" per se, but I love the consistency of the Lewitt. Something common to their mics. Keep the vids coming!
I've seen a lot of your videos and the AT 2035 complements ur voice very well
Good review and tutorial. Keep up the good work.
Thanks i really like all your video's always great. You seem laid back and yet and bundle of energy also :)
the 2035 is warmer and bigger. the 240 is thinner, slightly brighter and maybe a tad bit harsh in the high mid area. either way there are vocalists whose voice could benefit from the difference. thanks for this review it's really good
Love your intros!
I subscribed this morning around 3AM lol ... I like this guy.
Personally I find that the Lewitt mics makes the speaker sound like you're standing in front of me. Call it presence, or whatever. Two mics can be nearly identical, but for some reason Lewitt just sounds like you're there. I can't wait for the rest of the lineup. I'm glad they reached out to you. I think this is a huge untapped market for them. When I bought the Lewitt 550 which you now own (C'est la vie), I could find one VO guy recording with a Lewitt, and that was hard to find. No local studios in my area had Lewitt. I honestly don't know why. The presence to me is unmatched given all other things equal. I've even recorded classical guitar and singing with it. Still amazing. With a good pair of speakers, and you close your eyes, you'd swear the person was in front of you. I'm so happy Lewitt reached out to you!!!!
Exactly .. the best thing about Lewitt sound is how 'real' it sound.
Good shoot-out. Wait... BOOTH JUNKIE T-SHIRTS! [Want!]
Both very nice, I liked the AT slightly better. It seemed cleaner when you got up close. at a distance it was really hard to tell the difference between the 2.
I forgot to tell you how much I really love your channel! You are so fun to watch.
I’m glad I ran into this channel
Good review and tutorial - Love Lewitt LCT si Audio-Tehnica
love your videos man., very intricate
Mike, you were recovering from a cold when you did this. I'm not sure the AT2035 really got put through its paces with you at your best. Please consider checking it out again, but maybe go ahead and put it beside the TLM 103 or one of your other go-to mics.
I bought the highest price mic for Lewitt.. So satisfied.
That's all I need to say 🔥👌
Luke Skywalker reviewing mics now?
Booth SkyTalker
I thought the same.
BAahaahhaahah
Mark Hamill does voiceovers so maybe it is him in disguise 🤔
omg how didnt i see it!!
Thanks and Recommended for all
The 240 sounds really good!!
The shock mount and pop filter add another $65 to the price of the Lewitt 240. Might as well spend another $55 and get the 440 Pure or a Rode NT1, both which come with the essentials included.
THIS IS THE BEST CHANNEL ON YT
At2035 for sure. Much less self noise as well. Thanks Mike!
Will you be testing the 440 Pure? I saw your video about if you need headphones in the booth, and you used it there :)
Well every mic depends on your voice, I like the Lewitt LCT 240 Pro. Nice clean base everything for my voice I went from Procaster, Well to the LCT 240 Pro and everyone said i went from boy to man and sound %100 better I also use this mic on my broadcast and now have made Lewitt my main brand and will be with them from now and till the end thank you Lewitt.
thanks it helped me to choose mic :)
The sibilance on that 2035 is killing me! The Lewitt sounds great.
damm, your voice make both mic sound incredible
Right? I've heard other people review these and they sound terrible but you hear him and you're throwing money
Both sound great. AT2035, to my ear, sounds a tad bassier and seems to have a lower noise floor, but only by a smidgin. Both wonderful mics at a wonderful price.
Thanks for the mics, mike :)
Thanks for the videos! What’s your thought about the AT2035 vs AKG Perception 220?
Very similar, but I do love me a square body, adds a bit of charm.
To be honest they are both so ridiculously similar that as a sound engineer I thought the Lewitt was on then glanced at the corner and it was the AT! Lol both are great!
Recorded someone with noisy earrings the other day. Couldn't work out where the wind chimes were.
So after watching your review I ordered the Lewitt back in March. I swear it just arrived (August) because of Covid. So you can imagine my excitement! At first it was amazing but the mic noise is so high I can’t use it. I don’t think it’s the best for VO because if the mic noise and it’s hotter for a female voice. I have tried everything. I went back to my dynamic Sennheiser. Sad face. I’m still hanging on to it just in case I figure something out.
the LCT 240 has somewhat significantly higher background noise, but I think the LCT240 has more details in the higher frequencies which makes the voice sound more clear.
Quite opposite: 2035 has better "high freq" details. It's very easy to hear that all "S" or "SH" sounds are better exposed in 2035.
Both sound really similar but I feel u sound just a tad more natural on the AT2035! :) great mic for the price.
I enjoyed the sound of the AT2035 more. It had a better bass response, and it wasn't as sibilant as the LCT 240Pro.
I would like to thank you for the excellent job you do on your videos.
I would like to ask a question to you, and your viewers. I’m looking to purchase a good mic, that won’t break the bank. It is down to two, first the one I see you use a lot, CAD 100s, or or Lewitt 440pure.
I’m planning to do just voice work, podcast, and/or voice over!
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks
wonder if all this test are recorded raw without any EQ or noise reduction or is it the acoustic in your both, btw great videos i recently bought a mxl 990 to start messing around with an audio interface.
The AT2035 has a High-Pass filter switch, not to change the characteristic of the Human Voice, because it operates at a VERY low audio-frequency range. Much lower than general voices go. It is there to stop ROOM Base-Rumble or A/C low-end hum mechanical noises, which many poor (non-professional) sound-environments have in the background. This Low-Cut audio-filter is a nice feature for a $100+ Mic to include.
I got the 2035 before this video. I wish I went with the LCT 240Pro. The AT2035 is richer in the low end but has a lot of harshness in my opinion. The 240Pro is more neutral and clean, which I prefer since it's easier to work with in post as an audio engineer. Keep in mind guys that room treatment comes first if you're thinking about getting a condenser mic like these (or if you're ok with recording in a closet).
I have the at2035 I like. Now I want the LCT240Pro
In my opinion, both of the mics are really good for the price. The AT2035 seems to sound a bit better, more bassy but they are super similar sounding. I personally use the AT2020 though.
Hello! What's do you think better, audio-technika 2035 or akg p220?
I think the Lewitt now comes with a shock mount. At least that's how it's advertised online.
Hey Mike, thanks for this review. I have an audio-technica AT2035 that I purchased new about 7 years ago. At that time, I also bought an M-Track M-Audio interface to do voice work. A few months ago, I started podcasting and got them both out of the box to use. Unfortunately, the mic was producing unusually low bass tones. I tried unsuccessfully to fix the problem. I just recently ordered a Focusrite Scarlet Solo Audio interface to replace the M-Track interface. Hoping that the Focusrite will produce brighter, more natural sounding tones for my podcasts.
Hey, I know this is a year-old comment. But did the problem get fixed?
@@kkenny Yep, the Focusrite Scarlet was the answer. Thanks for asking!
Thank you for video
the proximity effect is still there, that switch is a low cut, or high pass filter.
I ordered the 2035. Pretty excited. Looks more pro than entry level to me haha
Is it good enough for professional use?
Which one is better in terms of eliminating the room noise(hiss sound) while recording vocals in a non-acoustic treated room?
Since you brought it up, how do you learn these mic techniques to avoid plosives and stuff?
Another great review. I appreciate it. I'd love to hear the at2035 against the Rode NT1.
been waiting for this too
Howdy Mike, Erick here from the exciting metropolis of Richmond, Texas. Lol, question the booth your in is that your booth that you upgraded with the panels?
Listen this video on high-end headphones, the AT2035 has surely less noise and more bass than LCT240, so overall sound is more solid. I like Mike's voice on AT2035.
2035 has more bass, while the LCT sounds more like the 2035 with the high pass filter on. Both sounds great!... although I do prefer having the option of that extra bass on the 2035. Then again, this is totally a taste matter, and no ones taste, or the area of use will be the same. (I'm watching your channels, and I'm a music producer, who owns the 2020 (no usb), and for the price, it was a steal as well. ;)
They both do sound similar. The AT2035 sounds a bit bassier but the Lewitt sounds a little smoothe, especially since I think the AT2035 picks up sibilants more.
The Audio Technical was a slight bit stronger in the low end. The Luett is crisper in the high end.
I think the AT2035 is tough to beat in regards quality to price. I use it for a lot of my gaming commentaries and reviews. I've put it up against mics that cost 2-4 times as much when I've been considering an upgrade, and do those mics sound better? Some might...but they didn't sound x hundred $$ better!
Sounds so different than your newer videos. Is that entirely because of the newer recording room you have set up, or is it something else, like mixing afterwards?
I seen Ola use them on an amplifier for recording ....could I record also acoustic guitar with it?
Mike, You mentioned that Lewitt had sent you several mics. I have not seen the other reviews. Will they be coming up? Many here have asked about the LCT 440.
Sir, would you honestly recommend the Lewitt 240 pro, for voice over work and what about the self noise. whats your take?
This video is compressed. But if you have some good headphones, you can still tell that the AT2035 captures more detail in the highs compared to the LCT 240, even if the AT2035 is technically flatter than the LCT240 according to their frequency response charts.
Can you suggest me a better microphone between ALG P220 and LEWITT LCT 240 PRO. My vocal timber is in mid-highs.
hello!!! the other day i see that you use the avalon 737 I would like you to make a video of some basic preset in avalon. I see each of your videos very good thanks
If you can get one, I whould love to see a AKG P220 vs AT2035
Can you suggest me a better microphone between ALG P220 and LEWITT LCT 240 PRO. My vocal timber is in mid-highs.
@@IshaanNigamOfficial akg
I own 2 at2035's. I use them for overthekickmic and kickreso. I'm thinking of buying the LCT240pro for the ridecymbal because of its detail...
You were closer to the 2035...most of the time, nice review
I own and use the 2035, but not on vocals-there is a pronounced bump in the nasally area of the high-mid and a *very* fizzy top end. I find it surprisingly good on low strings however-cello and upright bass. Singing? Not so much.
Thx for the info. I’m very new voice over actor. I learned a lot from you. May God bless you! There’s any specials to buy the AT-2035 in a less price, or coupon?
For same price , which is better? LCT 240 or AT2020?. 2035 costs here almost double
thank you
Hi, which microphone is better amongst AT 2035, lewitt lct 240, MXL 770, Tascam 180, AKG p 420, Se electronics x1. Specifically for FEMALE ALTO VOCALS . Looking for a nice frequency response and low self noise. hoping to receive a reply.
Between the lewitt lct 240 pro and the rode nt1 , which would be better for voice over? My voice can get to be similar to yourse (deep, bassy), and i want to avoid any posible sibilance, but at the same time to sound clear, smooth and warm
hey mike can you try blue bluebird microphone vs the CAD e100s microphone ?please !
Not sure if its the camera angle but it looks like you're speaking closer to the AT2035 hence it sounds louder and with more bass.
Can you do a Lewitt LCT 440 Pure vs Rode NT1 sometime?
& also with AKG C214
Go with Lweitt 440pure
@@hemantsharmaflute Agreed, Rode sleeps on their Laurels
Have you ever used an old samson s11? Any thoughts on them if so?
Decided to go with at2035 instead of Lewitt lct240 pro after this video.
Lewitt 240Pro or Audio Technica 2020? For a high tone voice?Thank You.
Is my idea or the 2035 is more close than the lewitt?, and for them sound with more body and low end
