This is a great deal for a great mic. Lewitt is relatively new and to be honest I had never heard of them. After recommitting myself to home studio recording during the lockdown I quickly realized that my MXL 550/551 condenser (starter) set I got years ago is just really bad. Seeing that a used set of 550/551 MXL's online could barley fetch a quarter of their original price confirmed what I suspected about these mics. They're not that good! I was really surprised by the quality of the Lewitt as it caught my ear when I was sampling mics in Audio Test Kitchen which is a site that does condenser mic sound comparisons. You can choose up to five mics and listen back and hear how some recordings would sound on various instruments on different song examples that ATK has already recorded. Anyway of the five mics the Lewitt LCT 440 Large Diaphragm was matched up against four other significantly expensive mics. I was surprised at how this mic under 300 was more than holding its own against mics that were three to four times more expensive. Anyway later on when I was on youtube I saw a video by professional producer Warren Huart (who's channel I subscribe to) and he was raving about Lewiit air 140 mics. He did a demo mic'ing up an acoustic and a drum set and I thought they sounded great. He rarely does any kind of demoing of gear on his page but he was ecstatic about this brand and said after stumbling upon them it's all he uses in his studio. Between that demo and his approval I was sold! Sounds great on my acoustic guitar and even decent on my voice but I ordered the 440 for that. These mics are on point and super affordable...
