Today i review the Lewitt Ray, a microphone based on the LCT440 but with technology inside that adjusts to your distance. This means that if you move around a lot while recording it will maintain a relatively consistent level and tone. The mic leans on the brighter side of mics with tons of detail and it also has a physical mute button which is tight.  RECORDING SETTINGS:Interface: Focsurite Scarlett 18i20 2nd GenConversion: 24-bit / 48kHzGain: ~3:00Boosted in Post: +6dBSPECS:Polar Pattern: CardioidFreq Response : 20Hz - 20khzSensitivity: -33dBSelf Noise: 8BAMax SPL: 131dBImpedance: 120 OhmsBuy the Lewitt Ray (Affiliate Links)Amazon: https://geni.us/lraySweetwater: https://sweetwater.sjv.io/ray Thomann: https://www.thomannmusic.com/lewitt_ray.htm?offid=1&affid=2060 Buy the Focusrite 2i2 (3rd Gen)- Same Performance as 18i20 (Affiliate Link)Amazon:  https://geni.us/2i32rdSweetwater: https://imp.i114863.net/k6g4dB&H Photo: https://bhpho.to/42lcWDFThomann: https://www.thomannmusic.com/lewitt_ray.htm?offid=1&affid=2060NOTE (FULL DISCLOSURE): As an associate, I earn from qualifying purchases.
