The Lewitt LCT 240 PRO is an affordable yet high-performance large-diaphragm condenser microphone, designed to make professional-grade recording accessible to all musicians, producers, and content creators. Capable of handling extreme sound pressure levels, it captures even the loudest sources without distortion. Its balanced cardioid polar pattern rejects off-axis noise effectively, making it an ideal choice for untreated home studios and other challenging acoustic environments. Built with a durable zinc die-cast body, the LCT 240 PRO combines robust construction with lightweight portability. Included accessories such as a carrying pouch, windscreen, and mic clip ensure that users have everything needed to begin recording high-quality audio right out of the box for a hassle-free setup.
The Lewitt LCT 240 PRO features a gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm, capable of reproducing frequencies across the entire human hearing range, with subtle boosts at 10kHz and 16kHz, which enhance clarity and sibilance. Its maximum SPL of 142 dB and dynamic range of 123 dB ensure distortion-free recordings, even when capturing high-energy sources. It requires 48V phantom power and connects via a standard three-pin XLR cable (sold separately) to audio interfaces or mixing consoles. A closer look at the polar pattern reveals an impressively uniform cardioid characteristic, delivering a smooth and balanced sound across the frequency spectrum. Weighing just 310g, its lightweight yet durable design allows for flexible placement for both studio and live environments, making it a reliable choice for a wide range of recording scenarios.
The LCT 240 PRO is tailored to meet the needs of both aspiring and experienced creators, offering seamless integration into a wide range of recording setups. Its cardioid polar pattern effectively reduces unwanted room noise, making it perfect for untreated home studios or less-than-ideal acoustic spaces. Streamers and podcasters will benefit from its clear, focused sound, while the front-facing Lewitt logo ensures effortless positioning. For shared environments or multi-vocalist sessions, optional accessories such as the Lewitt LCT 44 WX pop filter provide additional customisation for consistent high-quality recordings. Whether for vocals, spoken word, or live streaming applications, the LCT 240 PRO delivers professional-grade audio with minimal complexity.
Founded in Vienna in 2010, the midsize Austrian company Lewitt describes itself as the world's fastest-growing microphone brand, and indeed Lewitt has quickly made a name for itself among producers. The reason: The firm has a passionate team that produces remarkably transparent-sounding condenser microphones with low self-noise. Development takes place in Austria, but by producing the microphones in China, among other factors, Lewitt can offer its high-quality products at extremely low prices.
The Lewitt LCT 240 PRO performs impressively across a variety of recording scenarios, delivering outstanding results for vocals, instruments, and live performances. Standing around 15cm from the capsule ensures optimum clarity and balance in vocal recordings, while the Lewitt LCT 50 PSx pop filter effectively reduces plosive sounds and moisture. Careful gain adjustment helps prevent distortion during loud passages, ensuring clean and professional recordings. Speaking into the microphone at a short distance enhances the voice's low-end warmth and creates what is known as the proximity effect - particularly useful when creating engaging audition videos or podcasts. Adjusting microphone placement and room acoustics allows users to fine-tune tonal balance and bass response for any application. In addition to vocals, the LCT 240 PRO excels on snare drums, cymbals, drum overheads, acoustic guitars, and string instruments - and being equally at home in both studio and live settings, it offers remarkable versatility for any performance scenario.
