Austrian manufacturer Lewitt Audio has released the limited LCT 440 Pure VIDA edition, a new colour version of its best-selling studio microphone.
Since its introduction, the LCT 440 Pure has become a popular combination of studio sound quality and outstanding specifications for home recording, podcasting and streaming. Now, it is available in a new colour, with parts of the proceeds going directly to preserving the rainforest. However, the price remains the same compared to the standard model.
Each unit sold supports the tradition of Austrian musicians of preserving the rainforest in Costa Rica.
In 1991, the NGO Rainforest of the Austrians was founded by Michael Schnitzler to protect nature and its biodiversity. Schnitzler is a famous Austrian ecologist and violinist who played in the Vienna State Opera and the Vienna Philharmonic, giving concerts worldwide.
Lewitt continues the tradition of Austrian music creators who have supported the Rainforest of the Austrians project in Costa Rica for more than 30 years with royalties from their songs, benefit concerts and appeals for donations to preserve nature and atmosphere. Lewitt contributes to this project by acquiring over 30,000m2 of rainforest and placing it under protection.
‘We see diversity and sustainability as something worth promoting,’ says Lewitt CEO, Roman Perschon. ‘Especially as nature lovers, it is nice to be part of an endeavour that dedicates itself to preserving this rainforest treasure.’
