Lewitt LCT-441 FLEX Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Lewitt LCT-441 FLEX Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Building upon the technology found in the LCT 440 PURE, the Lewitt LCT 441 Flex is a highly capable studio microphone with a 1" true condenser capsule and the incredible versatility of eight polar patterns. These polar patterns go beyond the traditional omnidirectional, figure-8, and cardioid offerings to also include a host of cardioid variants—reverse cardioid, wide cardioid, reverse wide cardioid, supercardioid, and reverse supercardioid. The multitude of patterns offered in the LCT 441 FLEX facilitates both technical precision and creative experimentation in the studio environment. Whether you use these patterns to mitigate the need for physical re-positioning between instruments, to alter the frequency response, to combat/emphasize the proximity effect, or to achieve an unconventional sound, you'll find this microphone useful in recording all sorts of vocals and instruments. The microphone comes with a shock mount to reduce unwanted structure-borne noise, a magnetic pop filter that integrates with the design of the microphone to minimize plosives without noticeable effects on the rest of the frequency response, and a windscreen to subdue rustling noise from light breezes or fans. As with all solid-state true condensers, the LCT 441 FLEX requires 48V phantom power and can be connected to an XLR input on your mixer, audio interface, or mic preamp.
