Lewitt ushers in a new era of recording convenience with the RAY microphone. Packing a 1-inch condenser capsule and outstanding sound quality, this mic is dynamite on vocals. It brandishes Lewitt’s new AURA technology, which automatically compensates the gain and character of the mic according to how far the vocalist is from the mic. Here at Sweetwater, we find that RAY’s AURA technology makes it much easier to record singers who grapple with proper microphone technique. We’ve also discovered the Mute by Distance feature automatically silences the microphone when you walk away from it. Finally, the microphone includes a magnetic pop filter to take care of pops and plosives. Whether you use it with a client or as your personal livestreaming microphone, the RAY delivers superb sound every time you plug it in.
All-new AURA technology
If you’ve ever used a modern camera, you know how convenient autofocus is. Now imagine autofocus for microphones. That’s exactly what RAY does. Its cutting-edge AURA technology uses sensors in the microphone body to measure a vocalist’s distance from the microphone. As the singer moves around, it intelligently adjusts the gain to compensate. Meanwhile, it also tweaks the sonic profile for a more consistent sound. AURA technology is particularly useful for livestreamers and vocalists who move around a lot while singing. Make your audio sound clearer and more consistent with AURA.
Mute by Distance
Another thing that sets the RAY microphone apart is its innovative Mute by Distance feature. Mute by Distance uses the AURA technology to monitor your distance from the microphone. When you reach a certain distance away, the RAY microphone will automatically mute the signal, preventing any unnecessary noise from entering your recordings. The microphone also retains a dedicated mute button, so you can cut the signal at any moment.
