LCT 240 PRO Review by Chris Milnes

I feel the top end is a little hyped, and I wasn't a huge fan of its performance on female vocals when I tested it. As a drum overhead and a guitar cab mic though, it's absolutely brilliant. There's some great clarity, and it doesn't feel brittle. I'd be more than happy to use it in a professional context.

Overall, I think the LCT 240 PRO is well worth a purchase. I'm really impressed by how versatile it is considering its price tag. It's perhaps not as incredible as the other LEWITT mics I've tried, but considering the price, it's a brilliant little mic.

What it Does: The LCT 240 Pro is a single-pattern microphone with high-performance capsule for all applications.

The Bottom Line: Not a bad budget microphone at all. It doesn’t quite compare to the more expensive LEWITT mics, but it’s a very good all rounder.

Performance: A reasonably good performance all round, and it's a very versatile mic. I particularly liked it on drum overheads, and guitar cabs too, but I found vocals a little hyped at the top end.

Build Quality: I'm not a big fan of the look of the shiny white finish, but it's a well built mic, and doesn't feel like it's going to break. The mic clip is solid.

Ease of Use: It's an incredibly simple mic to set up and use. The cardioid shape is nice and wide, and it's not difficult to position. It fits in most gaps and weighs very little.

Gossip: The reviews across the internet seem very favorable, and it seems people really like the mic. I've seen a couple of other people commend it for drum recordings.
