LEWITT / LCT1040

A transparent FET circuit and a vacuum tube circuit with four switchable character types are combined to create the sound you imagine. Two output systems are installed, and the balance between vacuum tubes and FETs can be adjusted later. The detachable remote controller also allows you to create sounds from another room without touching the microphone.

■Features
- Equipped with four excellent vacuum tube sounds developed in collaboration with world-renowned engineers and developers.
Clear: Well-balanced flat sound
Warm: Smooth and comfortable sound
Dark: Mild sound with suppressed high frequencies
Saturated: Rich harmonics and delicate compression

The 100% all-analog vacuum tube character is designed to cover all styles and applications recorded in the studio, from the finest violins to roaring rock vocals. LEWITT has worked closely with industry professionals and the global audio community, and has achieved this through several years of development.

- Blendable FET circuitry for more punch and precision
When you want more punch and precision for your voice or instrument, use the circuit control to adjust the FET circuitry, and the FET blend function will create the ideal sound.

- Use the remote control to control all settings from the sweet spot
For example, install the LCT 1040 in the recording room where the artist plays. Remove the remote control from the power unit and connect it with a standard 3-pin XLR cable. Now you can fine-tune your sound remotely for a smoother session.

- Flexible polar pattern control for the perfect sound
The LCT 1040's seamless polar pattern control allows you to set the directivity to achieve the sound you want. The default/reverse flip switch also allows you to freely set the front of the microphone depending on the recording scene.

- Two outputs allow for flexible response in post-production
The LCT 1040 is equipped with two Neutrik XLR outputs for all situations.
The MIX output combines vacuum tubes and FET circuits and is output at the ratio set by the circuit control.
The FET output realizes 100% pure FET independent of the circuit control.

- Shock mount with carbon fiber element and quick release mechanism
Equipped with a quick release mechanism for microphone and angle adjustment.
The carbon fiber element supports efficient decoupling of the microphone.
The microphone can be rotated 360° inside the shock mount.

・Dual-layer magnetic pop filter for a clean recording
LCT 1040's high-performance magnetic pop filter protects the capsule from unwanted stray particles and moisture. The dual-layer design, fully integrated with the shock mount, keeps recordings clean for any vocalist or genre.
