Lewitt LCT 140 Air Review / Test (vs. KM185, RN17, M5, E614)
Today I review a very versatile small diaphragm condenser that would be a great beginner option. The LCT 140 is relatively affordable, has a built in pad, high pass, and high shelf. The downside is the build quality leaves a bit to be desired and it has a 20dBA self noise, so if you’re recording quiet sound sources, you may need to take that into account.
