Description
Description
The LCT840 is a premium, dual-capacity, large-diaphragm vacuum tube microphone that delivers outstanding performance across a wide range of applications. Its precision-engineered single capsule delivers the warmth and classic, vintage sound of a vacuum tube. Ideal for vocals and instruments, it captures every nuance of your performance. Available in five polar patterns—omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8, widescreen, and supercardioid—the LCT840 is a versatile choice for engineers and artists seeking authentic tube sound. Like all LEWITT microphones, it boasts low self-noise (9dB) and effective off-axis rejection. The power supply features three levels of attenuation, a high-pass filter, and a noiseless pushbutton control. In addition to user-friendly operation and advanced features that ensure superior recordings, the microphone also features a coated Plexiglas tube inspection window to protect against electromagnetic interference. The lit vacuum tubes create an attractive look, while the unique innovative design, advanced technology, and the distinctive vacuum tube sound promise a magical take.
The dual triode vacuum tube and dual-system capsule with an ultra-thin gold-layered low-mass diaphragm deliver smooth, warm tube sound while faithfully capturing transients.
Five directivity patterns - Omni, Cardioid, Figure 8, Wide, and Supercardioid - provide flexibility and a wide range of recording applications. Excellent dynamic range: 130 dB-A (Tube) / 135 dB-A (FET), low self-noise: 9 dB-A (Tube). Captures realistic sound with distortion-free depth.
- Three-position attenuation pad (0 dB, 10 dB, 20 dB) and three-position high-pass filter for handling high sound pressure levels - Illuminated user interface for easy operation in dark environments - Push-buttons for quick, noiseless control of attenuation and high-pass filter - Unique clipping history and automatic attenuation functions for fast, error-free recording and operation - Solid die-cast metal body with specially coated vacuum tube window for maximum electromagnetic interference protection - Durable metal housing for the PSU840 power supply with black aluminum front panel - Extra-large hexagonal ruthenium steel mesh grille for an open acoustic environment and to prevent unwanted internal reflections - Rust-resistant gold-plated 3-pin XLR output connector - PSU840 power supply, LCT40 SHxx shock mount, LCT 40 Tr audio cable (gold-plated 11-pin) XLR connector), LCT40 Wxx windscreen included
