Frequently Asked Questions

What comes in the box with the Lewitt LCT 440 PURE?

The listing says a shock mount and a magnetic pop filter come with the mic. A stand and cable are not listed, so plan on supplying your own.

Is the LCT 440 PURE good for streaming and podcasting?

Yes. Its 1-inch condenser capsule captures voice in detail, and the cardioid pattern rejects sound from behind the mic, such as PC fans or room noise. The included magnetic pop filter helps control plosives on spoken-word content.

Can I plug the LCT 440 PURE straight into my computer?

Plan on using an audio interface or mixer. As a true condenser microphone it needs phantom power from the connected device. Check the product listing for exact connector and power specs.

What instruments can I record with this mic?

Lewitt lists vocals, acoustic instruments, drums, cymbals, amplifiers, and piano as target uses, so it works as a single all-round mic for a home studio.
