This mic should be good enough to make a Grammy award winning album. If you can’t record a good song with this mic, it’s not the microphones fault.

I've been shopping around for a new mic recently and this mic has been the one that caught my eye the most. After watching a LOT of videos talking about the mic, this video is definitely the most helpful and clear about the mic and what to look for in general. This basically solidified me wanting to get the 440 Pure, so thank you for all the insight on it!

I watched you mix the song featured here in a previous video, I never knew the “percussion” on this track was a zipper and the Audient iD4 mk2 box. That was just cool. Watching how silently the guitar was being played and still picked up so clearly without mic noise, wow.
-
Wow! Amazing video!!! And the performance of Erin is stellar! Thanks, Adam!

I have owned a 440 for almost 2 years, love this mic, I have got nothing but great results using it. It's getting close to time to upgrade my interface, the audient has been one on the top of the list for me. They sounded super clean together. Super useful video for me, thanks!

I'm thoroughly enjoying my matching pair of Lewitt LCT 440 PURE Condenser microphones! 😁 Got one on my bottom ENGL 4X12 Cabinet with Celestion Vintage 60 speakers to the left of the cone, (Dark mic) and the other on the matching 4X12 top cab, millimeters off-center of the cone. (Bright mic) 💀🤘

Enjoyed your take on the 440 Pure. My first episode watching your channel. Easy subscribe choice.

I love my Lewitt 440. It punches way above it's price point imo. It can easily compete with mics costing 2-3x. I use it for VO work where not only does the wonderfully smooth tone come through in every take but the inspired low profile design allows me to get right up on the mic while maintaining clear line of sight to my copy. Nothing more annoying than trying to look around or through a big pop shield while trying to stay on mic.

wow that cover was amazing! i totally forgot this was a review 👍🏼
-
Erin is a total delight and I think she just sold me on the mic.
-
What a beautiful Song!!! Fell in Love with it! 😍🌴😍🌴😍🌴

You mention something at around 3:00 that maybe the kick mic you were using was "broken", I had an issue recently with some LCT 040 overhead matched mics. I love lewitt mics, i have a 440 pure, and basically use it for everything, but i was disappointed when i had to open up my lct 040 match and reflow some of the solder points and rebend the ground tab to get rid of a 10 db buzz that I had in one of them. Whatever the case, i still am a lewitt fanboi, but maybe your clout can make sure their QC is on point.

Thanks for the video. Sounds great. I have a 440 on its way to me.
-
Nice Mic and what a beautiful song.
-
Oh yeah 🤘🤘Love your videos Adam! Keep them coming! 😁
-
Wow that song is incredible, I forgot about the mic it was so good
-
hey man. im interested on those filtered settings of the mic. eq and compression. it sounds really good. please reply this i need to know those.! thank you
-
just ordered one from Zzounds with 12 small payments--no credit check. This Erin and you have composed/recorded a wonderful song. Please share it!

Which would you choose between the MXL V67i (the one with two capsules, "bright" and "warm" to choose from, I think you've used it in the past) or this mic for a male baritone voice singer songwriter playing a fairly dark but rich-sounding 1972 mahogany Guild D25 steel string acoustic (primarily strummed), with the occasional bit of female backing vocals and simple hand percussion, connecting to a fairly dark-sounding recording interface (Zoom R16). Thank you!

Erin Snape. Wow. First time hearing. Beautiful!!!
