Today I review the Blue Encore 100i; which is a dynamic instrument microphone from blue. This microphone has a boosted low end and boosted high end. Simply put, if I were you, I wouldn’t buy this mic again.

Today I review the new mic from Lewitt, the LCT1040. This is one of the most versatile analog mics that I have ever used. It gives you a tube and a fet circuit and you can blend between them. On top of that the Tube mode has 4 different voicings, you have 5 polar patterns, 3 high pass filters, 3 pads, and the ability to output tube and fet through two XLR ports. It's a crazy powerful studio mic.
