I think it's a Lewitt Audio LCT either 240 or 440 but I am not certain.
If it is a Lewitt it is not the standard paint job.

Thanks.

I've sent the pix to the company and asked them. I appreciate your response. I've never heard of that brand.

Here's the reply from Lewitt:

Cheers Dave,

This is the white version of the LCT 240 PRO, but he painted the grille to make it even whiter.
Seriously. o_O

Lee, have you used any of the Lewitt mics? For some reason I'm feeling my Gear Acquisition Syndrome kicking in....

I have not. We use lots of various high end mics but I have not used any of the Lewitt mics.

I have quite a few Tim. Solidly built and sound killer.

Thanks, John! I'm considering the 440 for single-mic bluegrass type things. Anything I should know?

Post by: John P. Farrell on November 04, 2019, 04:34:41 PM: Nothing immediately springs to mind, although I haven't tried them for that. They have a nice airy sound without getting harsh so I bet they'd be great.

They are a solid build, so I guess my only thought would be make sure you have a beefy mic stand and/or sand bag if you're going to extend a boom at all.
