Today I review the new Pure Tube from Lewitt. This thing offers a tamer top end compared to Lewitt's solid state mics and more detail and articulation than a lot of other tube mics. The studio set also comes with one of the best shockmounts I've ever used, and it has a self noise of only 7dBA which is crazy for a tube mic.Buy the Lewitt Pure Tube (Affiliate Links)Amazon: https://geni.us/puretubeSweetwater: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/puretubeB&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/42KSX1vThomann: https://www.thomann.de/intl/lewitt_pure_tube_studio_set.htm?offid=1&affid=2060Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Links)Amazon: https://geni.us/2i32rdSweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4dB&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/42lcWDFThomann: https://www.thomann.de/intl/focusrite_scarlett_2i2_3rd_gen.htm?offid=1&affid=2060NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): As an associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
