Imagine getting the perfect sound every time. Like a painter who uses his colour palette, the LCT 1040 gives you the power to create the sound you envision.

During the development process of the LCT 1040, Lewitt set out to see Grammy award-winning engineers and producers in their fantastic studios to put their prototypes to the test in real-life conditions. The additional feedback from the global audio community ranging from friendly appreciation to brutal honesty was exactly what was needed to bring this exciting project to perfection.

A wide range of outstanding tube tones with a single microphone including clear, warm, dark and saturated. These 100% all-analog tube characteristics are designed to cover all applications and styles recorded in the studio - from the finest violin to roaring Rock voices. They are the result of close cooperation with industry professionals and the global audio community. Extra punch and precision with the blendable FET circuit. Tweak your sound to perfection. You can dial in the FET circuit via the Circuit control whenever you're looking for that extra punch or precision for your voice or instrument.

Set up the LCT 1040 in the recording room where the artist performs. Detach the remote control from the PSU and connect them via your standard 3-pin XLR cable. Now you can tweak all settings from your sweetspot via the remote control, ensuring a smooth-running session. Save precious time, keep the creativity flowing, giving you exactly the sound you are looking for. Set the directivity with the seamless polar pattern control of the LCT 1040, giving you exactly what you were looking for. Additionally, you can also freely define the front of the mic depending on your recording scenario.

To prepare you for all possible scenarios, the LCT 1040 features two XLR outputs with Neutrik connectors. The Mix output delivers the ratio set with the Circuit control, a combination of the tube and FET circuit. The FET output delivers 100% pure FET independent from the Circuit control.

The high-performance magnetic pop filter of the LCT 1040 protects your capsule from unwanted plosives and moisture. Its double-layer design perfectly integrates with the shock mount and ensures clean recordings with any vocalist or genre.
