LEWITT LCT 240 PRO BK — a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone in black, built for vocals, acoustic instruments, and percussion.
Aimed at engineers looking for a versatile, single-mic solution for a recording setup that can handle both a delicate vocal take and louder sources without switching to a different model. Its sturdy zinc die-cast housing and high maximum SPL handling make it equally at home in the studio and on drum overheads or guitar amps.
Clean Vocals in an Untreated Room
A common problem with home recording is a poorly built capsule that picks up room reflections and ambient noise, making it hard to get a clean vocal without acoustic treatment. The LCT 240 PRO's cardioid pattern reduces sensitivity behind the capsule, keeping the mic focused on the source in front and cutting down on picked-up side reflections, which lets it work in a typical untreated room. The front-facing Lewitt logo also makes quick, intuitive positioning easier during every session.
High SPL Handling Without Distortion
Vocal microphones with a low SPL ceiling can distort on louder vocal passages or when recording percussion in the same room. The LCT 240 PRO handles up to 142dB SPL at 0.5% THD, giving enough headroom for not just a belting vocal but also toms, guitar amps, or other loud sources without switching to a separate dynamic mic. Low self-noise (19 dB(A)) keeps quiet, subtle vocal passages clear at the same time.
