Peter Michael has this to say about his LEWITT LCT 240:
“When I record percussion, I don’t want to spend time testing mics for different instruments. That’s why I love the LEWITT LCT 240. It can handle the 100 Hz coming off the body of a conga drum while still allowing the 1.5k of the slap to resonate as well as the 10k of the shakers and triangles to give you that beautiful sizzle on top. It’s a perfect all-round mic – in spite of its low cost.”
Peter Michael is also a huge fan of the DGT 650, and he recently featured this versatile USB microphone and interface in a video on YouTube:
