“This microphone exudes real class and quality… It’s a complete joy to use, even better to hear, and being able to literally dial in the required sound is a genuine revelation.” – Sound On Sound
“We love the LCT 1040 system. Even if the microphone existed only with its FET output stage, it would be a world-class product; the tones on offer from the tube circuit take it into a class of its own. Don’t be fooled into thinking this is some sort of tube modelling device though, the signal path is pure analogue all the way, only the controls are digital.” – MusicTech
“The LEWITT LCT 1040 is an industrial design of the highest order. Its craftsmanship, execution and attention to detail are superb. Sonically, this system succeeds in offering a range of broad, varied, yet coherent tonal options that few other mics can rival, in one of the nicest packages ever produced.” – Recording Magazine
“The LEWITT LCT 1040 is probably the first microphone I’ve used that is actually innovative. They simply gave us something and said, “Here, have it all, conveniently.” Whether you’re in a bedroom and looking for something versatile, or in a million-dollar facility trying to work quickly to dial in sounds, you’re going to walk away with a smile on your face after using this microphone.” – TapeOp
Ultimate microphone system.
Developed in close cooperation with world-renowned engineers and producers. 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 they needed to bring this exciting project to perfection.
The LCT 1040 is covered by a 10-year warranty.
A wide range of outstanding tube tones with a single microphone.
- Clear – Tube works at technical optimum
- Warm – Smooth and pleasant high-end
- Dark – Tamed highs for bright sources
- Saturated – Rich harmonics and subtle compression
Together, 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 their 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.
Tweak all settings from your sweetspot via the remote control.
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.
Seamless polar pattern control to get exactly what you want.
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.
- Default sets the tube window as the front side of the mic.
- Reverse sets the logo as the front of the mic.
Two XLR outputs for full flexibility in post production.
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.
