The LCT 1040 microphone system was born from several years of research, analysis and development, with input from numerous engineers seeking new sounds.

The combination of a transparent FET circuit and a vacuum tube circuit with four switchable character types allows you to create the sound you envision. Equipped with two output systems, the balance between vacuum tube and FET can be adjusted later. The detachable remote controller also allows you to create your own sound from another room without touching the microphone.

Just as a painter uses a color palette, the LCT 1040 allows you to freely shape your sound.

- Premium sound recording with high-end components and a 1-inch true condenser capsule - Transparent FET circuitry and a vacuum tube circuit with four switchable characteristics combine to create sounds suited to the vocalist or instrument - All settings can be adjusted remotely using the remote control

■ 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 reduced high frequencies ・Saturated: Rich harmonics and delicate compression

The 100% all-analog tube character is designed to cover all studio recording styles and applications, from the finest violins to thunderous rock vocals, and is the result of years of development by LEWITT in close collaboration with industry professionals and the global audio community.


Blendable FET circuitry for more punch and precision. When you need more punch and precision from your voice or instrument, use the circuit control to adjust the FET circuitry, and the FET Blend function will create the sound you're looking for.


■Use the remote control to control all settings from the sweet spot. For example, install the LCT 1040 in a recording room where an artist performs. Remove the remote control from the power unit and connect it with a standard 3-pin XLR cable. Now you can use the remote control to fine-tune the sound from a distance, ensuring a smooth session.

Flexible polar pattern control allows you to achieve the sound you want.
The LCT 1040's seamless polar pattern control lets you set the polar pattern to achieve the sound you want, while the default/reverse flip switch lets you freely position the front of the microphone for any recording scenario.

■Two output systems allow for flexible post-production
The LCT 1040 is equipped with two Neutrik XLR outputs to accommodate any situation.

The MIX output is a combination of vacuum tube and FET circuits, outputting at the ratio set by the circuit control.
- The FET output is 100% pure FET, independent of the circuit control.

■Equipped with a shock-mounted microphone with a carbon fiber element and quick-release mechanism, and a quick-release mechanism for angle adjustment.
- Carbon fiber element supports efficient microphone decoupling.
- The microphone can be rotated 360° within the shock mount.

■A two-layer magnetic pop filter that ensures clean recording.
The LCT 1040's high-performance magnetic pop filter protects the capsule from unwanted stray particles and moisture, while its dual-layer design, fully integrated with the shock mount, keeps your recordings clean, regardless of vocalist or genre.
