Flagship tube mic with low self-noise

The Lewitt PURE TUBE Essential Set is a no-nonsense, high-quality large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone designed for professional vocal and instrumental recording. The Essential Set includes the PURE TUBE microphone, a compact power supply unit, and a dedicated seven-pin XLR connection cable. With its minimalist signal path free of semiconductors and capacitors, the Lewitt PURE TUBE Essential Set achieves an ultra-low self-noise level of just 7dB(A), making it one of the quietest tube microphones available on the market. Its 12AU7/ECC82 tube delivers the characteristic warmth and subtle harmonic richness associated with classic tube microphones, while its cardioid polar pattern effectively isolates the intended sound source by rejecting ambient noise. These features make the Lewitt PURE TUBE Essential Set an excellent choice for capturing both spoken and sung vocals with exceptional warmth, clarity, and depth.

Straightforward operation

At the core of the Lewitt PURE TUBE is a gold-sputtered 1" (25.4mm) diaphragm capsule, featuring a frequency range of 20Hz to 20kHz and a dynamic range of 125dB. The microphone handles a maximum SPL of 132dB, making it suitable for both soft and powerful vocal performances without distortion. With a sensitivity of 28.2mV/Pa, the output signal is particularly strong, delivering clarity and detail even during quieter passages. The rugged zinc-alloy housing protects the delicate internal components, ensuring long-term reliability and years of professional use. The present set includes a 5m XLR cable that connects the microphone to the power supply unit, which in turn connects to the mains. Once powered on, the microphone requires a 30-second warm-up period to reach optimum operating condition, ensuring consistent and stable performance.

Authentic warmth and clarity

The Lewitt PURE TUBE's rich sonic character, enriched with smooth and silky highs, is particularly well-suited to vocal recordings. The microphone features a quasi-linear frequency response with subtle enhancements around 3.5kHz and 10kHz, which captures high frequencies with exceptional detail and airiness, delivering a warm and refined sound. The cardioid polar pattern focuses on the source while rejecting unwanted background noise, making it an excellent option for studio vocal recordings, voiceovers, and delicate acoustic instruments. This innovative combination of low self-noise and characteristic tube warmth has earned the Lewitt PURE TUBE the prestigious Sound on Sound 2024 Award for Best Microphone of the Year. Whether recording vocals or instruments, the Lewitt PURE TUBE offers a unique blend of classic tube character and modern precision, making it an essential tool for modern productions that seek a high-quality vintage sound.

About Lewitt

Founded in Vienna in 2010, the midsize Austrian company Lewitt describes itself as the world's fastest-growing microphone brand, and indeed Lewitt has quickly made a name for itself among producers. The reason: The firm has a passionate team that produces remarkably transparent-sounding condenser microphones with low self-noise. Development takes place in Austria, but by producing the microphones in China, among other factors, Lewitt can offer its high-quality products at extremely low prices.

Balanced recordings without bass build-up

The Lewitt PURE TUBE Essential Set is quick to set up and ready to perform after a short 30-second warm-up period. Close-miking results in an increased low-frequency presence due to the proximity effect; however, the transformer-based filter inside the PURE TUBE mitigates this effect, ensuring balanced and natural-sounding recordings - ideal for capturing intimate vocal performances without excessive bass build-up. For optimum results when recording vocals, using a pop filter is recommended to protect the capsule from plosives and moisture, thereby extending the lifespan of the microphone while protecting its sensitive components. The Lewitt PURE TUBE Studio Set includes additional accessories such as a magnetic pop filter and an elastic shockmount to further reduce vibrations. However, a standard pop filter can be used with the Essential Set to achieve similar results. With its easy setup, exceptional sound quality, and versatility across many applications, the Lewitt PURE TUBE Essential Set represents an ideal choice for both home and professional studios.
