Lewitt LCT 640 TS Microphone Review

I look at the Lewitt LCT 640 TS first as an XLR microphone, not as a quick USB accessory. That matters. If I were buying this for a PC-based setup, I would plan on using it with an audio interface, mixer, or preamp that accepts an XLR connector. The listed compatibility with personal computers does not make it a direct plug-and-play computer mic; the recording chain still matters here.

How I’d Place the Lewitt LCT 640 TS in a PC Rig

My read of the AMS-LCT-640-TS is that it belongs in a more deliberate recording setup. The XLR connector points toward users who already have, or are willing to buy, external audio hardware. That can be a good thing if you want more control over routing and input level than a basic computer microphone gives you, but it is not the lowest-effort path.

The size is friendly for smaller workspaces. At 8 ounces and 3.54 x 2.36 x 2.36 inches, I would not expect it to dominate a desk or stand visually. The black finish also keeps it understated, which I like for a mic that may sit in view during calls, voice recording, or content work.

What I’d Check Before Ordering This Microphone

The first thing I would check is the rest of the chain. Do you already have an XLR-ready interface, mixer, or preamp? If not, this microphone is only one part of the purchase. I would also make sure I had the right cable and a sensible place to mount or stand it, because the corded electric design means placement will still be shaped by cable routing.

The AA battery requirement is another practical note I would not ignore. I would keep a spare nearby if this were being used for scheduled sessions, remote work, or content production. Even if the microphone is corded, the listed battery requirement means ownership is not quite as simple as “plug in and forget.”

Who I Think Should Buy It, and Who Should Skip It

• Good fit: PC users building a fixed recording setup around XLR hardware and dedicated audio gear.
• Also makes sense for: creators who want a compact black microphone and do not mind managing cables, an interface, and batteries.
• I’d skip it if: you want a single-cable USB microphone for a laptop, a wireless setup, or a wired mic with no battery requirement to think about.

My advice is simple: I would consider the Lewitt LCT 640 TS only if the XLR workflow is part of the plan. If convenience is the priority, I would look elsewhere.
