The magic of AURA technology from LEWITT
RAY overcomes the main limitations of conventional microphones: to guarantee consistent sound quality, you must maintain an appropriate distance and avoid moving. In general, when you get closer to a microphone, your sound becomes louder and more bass-heavy, this is what we call the proximity effect. As you move further away, the levels drop and the sound loses its presence. RAY changes these rules with AURA, sensor-based technology that precisely adapts your level and sound to your distance from the microphone. It's like autofocus for your voice. You can focus on your performance while creating impeccable recordings for podcasts, content creation, streaming, and music production.
MUTE by Distance - a revolutionary way to mute your microphone
RAY offers the MUTE by Distance function. Easily set a specific distance to automatically cut or restore your signal. Walk away from your microphone knowing that your audio signal will cut out or go live as you approach it. This is a game changer for your live performances, your streams and all types of content.
A MUTE button directly on your XLR microphone
RAY is the first professional XLR condenser microphone with a dedicated MUTE button. You get clear visual feedback when the MUTE button is activated, and it also works when remote MUTE mode is activated. This convenient way to control your audio is perfect for streaming, podcasts, and video meetings.
The typical LEWITT “Record-Ready” sound
RAY embodies the signature LEWITT “Record-Ready” sound that renowned artists, creators and studios love. This “Record-Ready” sound makes recording easier and delivers impeccable sound from the start. The only thing to do is press the Record button.
1-inch condenser capsule and high-end specifications
The 1-inch condenser capsule is the benchmark for quality vocal recordings. RAY's fine gold-sputtered capsule features a cardioid polar pattern that records everything in front of the microphone, while rejecting sounds coming from behind. With an incredibly low self-noise of just 8 dB(A) and the ability to handle sound pressure levels of up to 131 dB SPL, RAY ensures that your recording is never technically limited.
AURA function
When AURA is turned off, RAY delivers the same exceptional results for vocal and instrument recordings as LEWITT's best-selling studio microphone: the LCT 440 PURE. RAY benefits from a fully analog signal and a gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector to best integrate with your audio equipment. All functions rely on 48V phantom power from your audio interface or preamplifier.
Compact design suitable for video capture
RAY's compact design integrates seamlessly with the included suspension, which reduces handling noise. The pop filter, also compact, therefore better suited to video capture, attaches magnetically to the suspension, which ensures that it stays in place. This nifty pop filter makes it easier to show your face to the camera, read a script, or look at a screen while using the mic.
