Rode NT1-A vs Lewitt LCT 440 Pure // Which Microphone Should You Buy?

Please Subscribe to help me reach 100K Subscribers ❤

It's probably over simplification but to my ear the 440 sounds sad and tad darker while the NT1-A is bright and sunny. I think I prefer the 440 with the song you were singing in this video and the overall mood, but your high notes sound really massive and crystal clear with the NT1-A. Both are awesome in their own way

The lewitt is my fave

getting the rhode one cuz its only 150

I ordered the NT1-A because you've been so positive about it in all your vids! Thank you!

440 is warm

Rode NT1 vs Rode NT1a COMPARISON?

The microphone must be as flat as possible, in the master you color with all signals like a painting.....the Lewitt is flatter so better to paint with, You just want that boost or flatten in frequenty what you want an not what it gives al the time at every input

get a better camera man

I'm new at this. I heard some good things about the Lewitt LCT 440 PURE and since I want to invest in a couple of nice mics for my home studio (that's being build at this very moment), I thought it was a good idea to watch a comparison video like this.

And when I look at the comments on your video, it seems like the majority of these people prefer the Lewitt, because of the warmth, the smoothness, it's cleaner in the high end, less brittle...., all these things make me doubt my ability to judge sound, because I heard a clear difference between the two mics and I absolutely preferred the Rode NT1-A.

So..., is there something wrong with me?
I remember being in a professional recording studio to record an album. This was a long time ago and I have absolutely no idea what mics were being used for the vocals. But at some point the sound engineer put a mic in front of me and I absolutely loved it. To me it sounded 'crispy' and pleasantly, gently crackling. I told him that's the mic I wanted to use on all of my vocal tracks. He just smiled and told me that every singer always wants this. And yet he chose to use another mic with a flatter and a more boring sound. I didn't understand and to this day I still don't understand.

That crispy and pleasantly, gently crackling sound was something I very lightly and mildly heard back in the Rode. Is there a reason, other than 'a matter of taste', why I should avoid these qualities (?) in a microphone?

If anyone feels the willingness to answer one or two of my questions, then please do. I really want to learn.
Thanks! 😊

Can i connect this to smartphones?

You've got a great voice. I think I'm going to get the Lewit although I think the rode sounds slightly brighter and slightly better for your voice. Very subtle though.

Love your videos. You don’t know how much you helped me bro much love to you and your Chanel 🖤

Lewitt lct 440 pure is Great competitor of Rode nt1a👍

its not raw. edited.

👋👋👋👍☺️ LCT осень красиво звучит.

Amazon is selling fake Rode NT1 A mics ie. Counterfeiting. Plzz advice us as to where we should buy the authentic mic.

Why wouldn’t you expect a modern, analog microphone in a home studio to last over a decade/forever?

First off I prefer the Rode NT1 to the NT1-A but that's not the comparison. The Lewitt 440 Pure adds that high end presence that is ear candy to most people. I would be trying to EQ that out. I'd leave the Lewitt in the drawer and use the Rode.

These type of channel really have some of the worst singers from around the globe.

Both are awesome, but Lewitt just sounds a tiny bit cleaner & warmer to my ear. Having said this, I do own a LCT441 flex (super happy with it!), so now it's the decision what to get as a second large diaphragm condenser - stay with Lewitt or have a Rode for variety and that pinch of difference. A tough choice indeed...

Honestly bro you need to learn to sing

why the hell the lewit was covered thats like you putting hand in front of your mouth while recording , this was pure dumb comparison

Pls tell me whos one best in both mic??

It's weird, 440 sounds warmer!!

friend, why has the rode nt1a failed me? I bought it and when I use it out of nowhere it stops picking up sound and stops working and it has happened to me 2 times already and they tell me it is the interface but my interface is a behringer which I have put 10 dollar microphones on and they work well So I don't know what is causing this problem or if it is a factory fault

RODE NT1-A RINGING IN HIGH FREQUENCY BUT WHY?

Sir please suggest Rode nt2a vs lewitt 441 flex
For professionals studios

Nice & Useful Video ...

NT1a picks up depth of your vocals.

Great video Edward. I just got my Lewitt two days ago and it is amazing!

Heard the accent and thought must be South African -- nice video bro.

Sibilant test ??

Im one of your viewers and and subscriber thanks for inspiring me, but I cant even afford microphone Hope , ypu can help me to have one, becoz I want to record covers ❤️

If I had up to 269€ to spend, I’d go for the RØDE NT1 instead of the RØDE NT1A, as the NT1 has the smoother, more rounded top end, even more so than the LCT 440 Pure is. For a Lewitt that ticks the boxes of extremely low noise and a smooth top end, you’d have to save up for the LCT 540 S.

Hey Edward, Thank you for this vlog for, for all the informations as i really looking for which microphone to buy, and i accidentally saw this.

🙂

Nice mics. I have the Rode NT-1a. Your singing made me hit the subscribe button. Good stuff.

can you make a video on lewitt 440 vs rode nt2a

hello. can you show me how did you processed those raw vocals on both mics? to me that sounding really really good and clean. i need to try your settings on my mic. hope you can help me. thank you

You have amazing content, but do something with image quality, the picture shakes a little

I was just thinking about the rode nt2 A but one tho🤔

Both great mics for the price..Lewitt to me sounds more fuller and natural also less brittle on your vocals...Thanks for the review

Nice video man, thanks for including the raw vocals comparison as well... I am still wondering about buying a NT1A or a NT1, do you have any particular preference? I haven't had chance to compare them with my own voice but in paper, I like better the flatter response from the NT1 (much closer to the LCT 440 from this video)...

Please I need a mic wish will u suggest for me between Berlinger B2 pro, Audio Technica At2020 and Takstar Sm 10d

🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽

Hey, I saw you recommended the Audient interface in the $1000 studio video, can it run the SM7B without a cloud lifter?

I intend to use the Road NT1a and the Shure for recording vocals and the acoustic guitar.

Thank you for the great videos you put out, hope you can answer me.
