Lewitt Pure Tube Review / Test (vs. AT2020, U67, TF51, LCT1040, U87)
HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/puretube
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.
