Thanks for this! You should have recorded without the foam pop filter. This does affect the sound of the mic. Good videos man!

I just picked up both the Rode NT1 5th Gen and the Lewitt 440 Pure to test. They're both VERY CLOSE in sound. The Rode NT1 picks up less background noise (my room has no acoustic upgrades) but the Lewitt 440 Pure has a touch of higher end range frequency and has more of a crackling effect (tube-like/saturation-like). I ended up going with the Lewitt 440 Pure.

Thanks Edward. The wide choice of mics these days available at affordable price points can make choosing one an endless task. I'm on the lookout for studio monitors and 2 microphones to kick off recording an EP and album. Yamaha HS5s on the list, plus the Rode NT1-A keeps coming up trumps. What are your thoughts on the seX1s bundle or the se4400a? There's a used se4400a for sale quite localish to me at half the retail price.

I have the Nt1 and the Lewitt lct 440 pure… was a difficult choice but returning the Nt1 and keeping the Lewitt. Mostly noticed the Rode was smoother sounding and because of this it made the voice clearer and less grating to listen to on long listens. The Lewitt however was more exciting and added an extra layer of presence and drama to the voice. Also I’ve seen people with smaller, thinner voices always prefer darker, more base heavy microphones with more low end (everyone who has reviewed the Lewitt vs the rode nt1, prefers the rode because of their voice I think, in exception to people with already deep or darker sounding voices) if your voice is mid range or leaning more toward deep and darker then the Lewitt can compliment it best whereas if your voice isn’t very deep and is thinner than the Rode mics might smoothen out your voice as well as add that extra bass to it.

Nice & Useful Video ...

If I had up to 269€ to spend, I’d go for the RØDE NT1 instead of the RØDE NT1A, as the NT1 has the smoother, more rounded top end, even more so than the LCT 440 Pure is. For a Lewitt that ticks the boxes of extremely low noise and a smooth top end, you’d have to save up for the LCT 540 S.

the only reason I prefer the NT2A over nt1 it has a lower tone and the nt1 is more pingy higher tone.... not saying bad quality, just saying different tone... depending on what you are doing the nt1 could be a lot better then the NT2A it just depends on your preference

Nice video man, thanks for including the raw vocals comparison as well... I am still wondering about buying a NT1A or a NT1, do you have any particular preference? I haven't had chance to compare them with my own voice but in paper, I like better the flatter response from the NT1 (much closer to the LCT 440 from this video)...

@JohnSmith-oe4bw

2 жыл бұрын

It depends. If you have a deep baritone voice, the 440 will be better. Tenor or higher, and NT1 will be better. I have all 3 of these mics (NT1, NT1a, and 440). The NT1a and 440 sound very close EQ wise, but the 440 is a better mic. Both have similar presence and air peaks, but the 440 is much smoother and more maliable in post,, with EQ. The NT1 is much flatter than both NT1a/440. It has a slight treble boost, but doent have a glaring 3.5-5k upper mid/low treble boost, and is also warmer in the mids and bass area. The NT1 is probably the most well rounded/balanced LDC condenser mic in its price range.

can you make a video on lewitt 440 vs rode nt2a

I'm new at this. I heard some good things about the Lewitt LCT 440 PURE and since I want to invest in a couple of nice mics for my home studio (that's being build at this very moment), I thought it was a good idea to watch a comparison video like this. And when I look at the comments on your video, it seems like the majority of these people prefer the Lewitt, because of the warmth, the smoothness, it's cleaner in the high end, less brittle...., all these things make me doubt my ability to judge sound, because I heard a clear difference between the two mics and I absolutely preferred the Rode NT1-A. So..., is there something wrong with me? I remember being in a professional recording studio to record an album. This was a long time ago and I have absolutely no idea what mics were being used for the vocals. But at some point the sound engineer put a mic in front of me and I absolutely loved it. To me it sounded 'crispy' and pleasantly, gently crackling. I told him that's the mic I wanted to use on all of my vocal tracks. He just smiled and told me that every singer always wants this. And yet he chose to use another mic with a flatter and a more boring sound. I didn't understand and to this day I still don't understand. That crispy and pleasantly, gently crackling sound was something I very lightly and mildly heard back in the Rode. Is there a reason, other than 'a matter of taste', why I should avoid these qualities (?) in a microphone? If anyone feels the willingness to answer one or two of my questions, then please do. I really want to learn. Thanks! 😊

Wow… you just described everything I’ve been feeling lately. I’m also quite new at this and I saw everyone in the comments just absolutely loving the Lewitt with some people even saying the Rode NT1-A sounded the worse out of all the mics under $300. However while I agreed with them that the Lewitt does indeed sound warmer, I think the Rode sounds so much better in my opinion? I thought something was wrong with me until I saw this comment, the Rode sounds so crisp and exactly what I would want from a condenser mic, and I think it would work well for many purposes too. Let me know what you went with in the end!

@@alice_so_kattish5445 ; Hello Alice! I had to rewatch and listen to this video again. It’s been a while ago now and I couldn’t really remember. Anyway, I didn’t buy any of the two. I went a little nuts. There’s a second hand music store in my hometown and they have a cool collection of mics. When I saw they had a Shure KSM32 I had to have it. I play a lot of acoustic guitars and I knew a guy who always recorded his acoustics with this mic (the Shure KSM32). His recordings sound amazing, so I bought that mic (2nd hand). Not just for recording acoustic guitars. It works great on everything. But I didn’t stop there. I also bought the SE Electronics V7 as an alternative for the Shure SM58. And last week I bought another second hand mic. I couldn’t help myself. I haven’t even properly recorded anything good yet, but I was saving some money to buy some guitar related stuff for a band I was in. And then the band broke up and I used that money to buy the Røde K2 tube mic. I haven’t even tried it yet, but somehow I feel confident that it will sound good. Off course I did a bit of homework, so I think I know what to expect. I have 5 mics now. I already had a Shure SM58 and a Blue Ember condenser mic. Time for me to stop buying stuff and to start recording. I’m all ready for it. I made sure to spend a lot of time in building something that just looks like something I want to spend all of my time in. It’s a dark place with earthy colours and galaxy lamps to create the effect of working under a star lit sky, lots of (fake) plants, lots of guitars and album covers on the walls, lit with LED lights, neon and a lava lamp, everything within reach, two computer screens, a comfortable couch to relax on, amps, mic stands…, I can’t wait to get there every day. And somehow I think that’s even more important than the mics. I want to feel inspired and so I build a room that inspires the hell out of me. 😬

Both sound great, the LCT 440 is more crisp and clear which has a natural tone to it while not overexaggerating the warmth. The NT1s level of warmth is only evident when compared to something that clear though and it is still quite good. The improvement in the LCT 440 is there, but is it substantial? Not really. Id imagine if I wasnt using studio level monitoring headphones making a judgement would be very hard so that is likely your issue. Edit: The rode has a lot of plosives as well, struggles with P's and S's that the 440 simply doesnt

Both are awesome, but Lewitt just sounds a tiny bit cleaner & warmer to my ear. Having said this, I do own a LCT441 flex (super happy with it!), so now it's the decision what to get as a second large diaphragm condenser - stay with Lewitt or have a Rode for variety and that pinch of difference. A tough choice indeed...

What's the difference between the nt1 and nt1-a?

@JohnSmith-oe4bw

2 жыл бұрын

NT1 is relatively flat and neutral, with a slight shelf starting in the mid-treble. NT1-a has peaks at 3.5k and 5k, that make the presence pop. Its a rougher and more jagged sound character, and not as clean or mature as the NT1. It's very pointy, and may sit in a mix well or better than the NT1 with no EQ, but the NT1 will take EQ better, and it will be easier to sculpt the tone. There are several comparison video's already on YT, so you can hear the difference. For vocals, the NT1 will suit more voices. Interestingly, the NT1-A's frequency response seems to works really well for things like acoustic guitar.
