In today’s episode, we review the LEWITT LCT 440 PURE large diaphragm condenser microphone from the perspective of podcasting and voice over. This microphone is priced at $269 USD at the time of this review and performs very nicely for that price. In the review we include recorded samples as well as off-axis and practical noise tests.
