Perform better with Record-Ready sound.
RAY features our signature Record-Ready sound. It's 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.
High-end specifications ensure best sound quality.
RAY is based on our best-selling studio microphone, the LCT 440 PURE, and therefore features high-end specifications.

A truly camera-friendly design.
RAY's compact and clever design makes it easier to show your face to the camera, read a script, or view a screen while using the microphone. There is no bulky pop filter or microphone covering your face or field of view.
The shock mount protects your signal from structure-borne noise. The pop filter protects your signal from plosives during vocal recordings and attaches to the shock mount magnetically.
