Podcastage | Lewitt LCT840 Review / Test (vs. U67, U87, @Podcastage | Uploaded 11 months ago | Updated 16 hours ago
HQ Audio Of Review: podcastage.com/rev/lct840

Today i review the Lewitt LCT840, a multi-pattern tube condenser mic that offers 5 great sounding polar patterns, two pads, and two high pass filters. I hear more mids than other lewitt mics with a slightly different top end which isn't overly bright in the treble, but it offers a really nice upper treble and air region which maintains a smooth sound.
