LEWITT is an Austrian microphone manufacturer founded in 2009 by Roman Perschon, a former AKG engineer who left the established industry to build something he felt was missing — microphones that pushed the technology forward rather than endlessly referencing the past. Based in Vienna, the brand has grown from a small team with a clear engineering vision into one of the most credible names in modern microphone design, with a product range that spans professional studio recording, live performance, broadcast, and content creation.
What makes LEWITT's approach distinctive is the refusal to compete purely on heritage or vintage aesthetics. Instead, the brand focuses on measurable technical performance — low self-noise, wide dynamic range, and features that give engineers genuine flexibility in the session rather than requiring workarounds. The LCT 640 TS, for example, introduced dual-output technology that allows the polar pattern to be adjusted in post-production via software, a genuinely practical innovation for recording scenarios where mic placement is locked in early. The flagship LCT 1040 takes this further as a complete microphone system, combining a premium tube condenser with a power supply that doubles as a remote control for dialing in gain, directionality, and tonal character from a distance.
The brand's credibility in professional circles is backed by consistent recognition — LEWITT products won the Sound On Sound Award for Best Microphone three years in a row, with the LCT 1040, Pure Tube, and RAY each taking the title in consecutive years. Artists including Stevie Wonder, Sabrina Carpenter, Bad Bunny, BTS, and Dave Mustaine have all used LEWITT microphones in professional recording and live contexts.
At Wired Tunes, we carry LEWITT microphones for engineers and musicians who want a modern, technically rigorous tool at the front of their signal chain — one that performs at reference level without relying on nostalgia to justify the price.
