Lewitt RAY Microphone, AURA technology

LEWITT RAY, the first microphone with autofocus for your voice.

Imagine recording vocals was as easy as taking pictures  with your phone. RAY is the first microphone to make this a reality.  Featuring LEWITT’s new sensor-based technology called AURA, RAY  dynamically adapts your levels and tone according to your distance to  the microphone. It’s like autofocus but for your voice. Instead of  making perfectly sharp pictures, you’re getting perfectly balanced  recordings.

With the groundbreaking AURA Technology and ÒMUTE by  DistanceÓ feature, RAY completely changes how we interact with a  microphone. And with its ÒRecord-ReadyÓ sound, voice recordings for  podcasts, streaming, content creation and music production become easier  than ever.

Changing the microphone rules with LEWITT’s AURA Technology.

RAY overcomes major limitations that conventional  microphones share – to ensure consistent sound quality you need to keep  the proper distance and avoid moving around. Usually, when moving close  to a mic, your sound becomes loud and boomy, known as the proximity  effect. When moving away, your levels drop, and your sound gets thin.  For satisfying results, you need to adapt to the microphone. RAY changes  these rules with AURA, a sensor-based technology that precisely adapts  your level and tone depending on your distance to the microphone.

With AURA on, you don't need to adapt to the microphone  anymore, it adapts to you. You can move naturally and focus on your  performance while creating flawless recordings. Results are astonishing,  especially when recording your voice for podcasts, content, live  streaming, and music production.

Even with AURA off, RAY serves as a high-end spec studio  microphone that delivers outstanding recording quality as RAY is based  on LEWITT’s best-selling LCT 440 PURE.

 A new way to mute for streaming and communication

RAY also gives you a dedicated mute button with clear  visual feedback, a feature unseen in other XLR microphones, yet the real  magic lies in the revolutionary ÒMUTE by DistanceÓ function.

Push a button to easily set a specific distance at which  RAY will automatically mute/unmute your signal. Now, you can confidently  step away from your desk, knowing your audio will be muted or go live  as you approach the microphone. It's a game-changer for your live  performance, stream and content alike.

 How does it sound?

RAY embodies the signature LEWITT ÒRecord-ReadyÓ sound that  artists, creators, and renowned studios have come to adore. This  ÒRecord-ReadyÓ sound makes recording easy and gives you a finished sound  from the start. The only thing you need to do is press record. No  wonder the LEWITT sound is the first choice for producers and engineers  working with artists like Justin Bieber, The Rolling Stones, Halsey,  Post Malone, Kehlani, Yngwie Malmsteen, or Doja Cat, be it in the studio  or on stage.

 Analog signal path and high-end studio specs

A 1-inch true condenser capsule is the Ògold standardÓ for  detailed vocal recordings. RAY’s gold-sputtered capsule comes with a  cardioid polar pattern that records everything in front of the  microphone while rejecting sound coming from behind.

With an incredibly low self-noise of just 8 dB(A), and the  capability to handle sound pressure levels of up to 131 dBSPL, RAY will  ensure your performance is never limited on the technical side.

Besides its outstanding sound quality, RAY uses a  completely analog signal path and a gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector to  integrate it to your current audio setup. All features are powered via  the 48V phantom power coming from your audio interface or preamp.

 Compact and camera-friendly design

RAY's compact design perfectly integrates with the included  shock mount which reduces low-frequency rumble and structure-borne  noise. The camera-friendly pop filter attaches magnetically to the shock  mount, ensuring it stays in place. This clever pop filter makes it  easier to show your face to the camera, read a script, or view a screen  while using the microphone.

RAY opens many possibilities previously unheard of for  podcasts, streaming, or performances, and it’s clear that AURA  technology is something everyone will want in their microphones in the  future.
