Lewitt have announced the release of the LCT 440 Pure VIDA, a limited edition version of their popular true condenser studio microphone that sports a rather fetching green finish. What’s more, proceeds from the sale of every unit will go towards supporting the preservation of the rainforest in Costa Rica.
In 1991, the NGO ‘Rainforest of the Austrians’ was founded by Michael Schnitzler, a famous Austrian ecologist and violinist who played in the Vienna State Opera and the Vienna Philharmonic. Over the past 32 years, the organisation has donated percentages of song royalties, as well as organising benefit concerts and appealing for donations to preserve nature and atmosphere. Lewitt have contributed to the project by acquiring over 30,000 square metres of rainforest and placing it under protection.
“We see diversity and sustainability as something worth promoting. Especially as nature lovers, it is nice to be part of an endeavour that dedicates itself to preserving this rainforest treasure.” - Roman Perschon, Lewitt CEO
The limited edition VIDA version retains the same design as the standard model, which has become a popular choice of microphone amongst home studio users, podcasters and streamers. We reviewed the LCT 440 Pure in SOS June 2017, click here to check out the article.
