I needed a good and clean condenser for recording vocals at home and my first thought was to get a Røde NT1a or NT2a, but after reading some comparisons between the two, I choose this instead.
I have previously used a NT2a that I've borrowed from a friend and the first thing I noticed when recording with the LCT440 is that it is quite a lot more flat and precise sounding. It almost reminds me of a SM7B in that it's not very coloured, but it still has all the dynamic range of a condenser. Exactly what I was looking for.
I've been using it for recording regular clean vocals as well as extreme metal vocals, dialog and guitar amps. It works perfectly for everything. The only thing I haven't tested it on yet is drums as I mainly record with electronic drums.
In this price range you won't find condensers that are coloured in a pleasant way, so I find that it's best to look for neutral sounding mics and add colour with pre-amps or plug-ins. This mic is perfect in that way and also very versatile for this reason.
However, it's not as versatile as a multipattern mic and also lacks any built-in filters, so that's why I only give it three stars for features. I don't feel like a need a HP-filter with this mic anyways and I already own a multipattern condenser so this felt like the perfect choice.
I will definitely buy more products from Lewitt in the future!
