Lewitt kindly loaned us a second LCT1040 Ultimate Microphone System to see what we'd do with it, so we decided to do something a bit different - record a fekkin great big pipe organ! This is the first time we've recorded such an instrument so was a bit of an experiment, and after trying a few different spacings and polar patterns we went with a Blumlein pair in figure of eight mode, at 100% Fet. And boy, were we pleased when we listened back on our ATCs!
We also set up a mid/side pair using the incredible Lewitt LCT640TS as the sides mic, with a LCT140AIR as the mid - and that also sounded spectacular!
Lewitt are absolutely knocking it out the park with their entire range - every mic we've tried sounds absolutely fantastic, is built like a tank, and is incredible value for money too.
A HUGE thank you to the wonderful Jonathan Lilley at Waltham Abbey Church for allowing us to record this incredible instrument, and performing so admirably for us! And our aplologies for letting the pigeon in...
