HQ Audio Of Review: https://podcastage.com/rev/ray Electric Guitar Demo: https://youtu.be/f0uoxY9_5QI 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.
