Premium Large-Diaphragm FET Condenser and Tube Microphone

Sound professionals naturally rely on a set of different high-end microphones to get the best out of their sound. However, changing microphones and adjusting settings can interrupt the creative flow of a session and take valuable time. Lewitt's LCT 940 offers a unique solution by combining the specific characteristics of a premium large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone and a top-notch tube microphone in one housing.

The LCT 940 features two main settings: "FET" and "Tube". These two signal paths have been incorporated separately and work independently of each other. The "Tube" setting delivers the classic, warm and rich tube sound, while the "FET" setting stands for the clear, exceptionally rich and nuanced sound Lewitt condenser microphones are renowned for. But the real innovation lies in the fact that the characteristics of these two main settings can be mixed and merged continuously variable. This opens up huge creative possibilities for artists and producers, as they can find the perfect blend of tube and FET sound for their specific needs.

Furthermore, the LCT 940 features a total of nine different polar patterns - five "standard" polar patterns (omni-directional, cardioid, figure-8, wide- and super-cardioid) and four additional intermediate patterns. This provides maximum flexibility in a wide variety of applications. The microphone also offers four levels of attenuation and four switchable high-pass filters, as well as LEDs and push buttons for noiseless handling on the power supply unit.

The LCT 940's outstanding feature list is rounded off by automatic attenuation and clipping history. With its rich set of advanced technological features, this microphone opens up a new dimension of sound reproduction in demanding professional studio applications. Its unrivaled qualities make the LCT 940 a must-have for recording pros who strive for nothing less than perfection.

In terms of physical dimensions, the microphone itself measures 7.5 x 2.4 x 1.8 inches and weighs 1.45 pounds, while the power supply unit measures 9.8 x 5.9 x 2.8 inches and weighs 4.26 pounds.

In summary, the Lewitt LCT 940 is a truly innovative and versatile microphone that combines the best of both worlds - the classic, warm and rich tube sound and the clear, exceptionally rich and nuanced FET sound. Its continuously variable switching and merging of these two sound characteristics, along with its wide range of polar patterns and advanced technological features, make it a game-changer in the world of professional audio recording.
