Sy Smith // LEWITT LCT 840 Tube Demo

Description
LEWITT' LCT 840 is a premium-class externally polarized dual-diaphragm tube microphone designed to excel in a variety of demanding applications. Equipped with a precision-engineered 1-inch capsule, the LCT 840 stands for exceptionally warm and classic, solid vintage sound. Perfectly suited for miking vocals and instruments, this rugged multi-purpose microphone allows for highly nuanced and authentic sound reproduction in the studio and even on stage. Five switchable polar patterns “ omni-directional, cardioid, figure-8, wide-cardioid and super-cardioid “ make the LCT 840 a highly versatile tool for professional audio engineers and performers looking for true and authentic tube sound.

Like all LEWITT mics, the LCT 840 stands out for its extremely low self-noise of 9 dB and effective rejection of off-axis sounds. The microphone features three levels of attenuation and three switchable high-pass filters, LEDs and pushbuttons for noiseless handling on the power supply unit (PSU).

Apart from user-friendly operating controls and advanced technological features so essential to memorable recordings, the LCT 840 also makes an eye-catching design statement: The microphone is equipped with a plexiglass inspection window on the front side of the body, so the illuminated tube itself is fully exposed. The inside window surface is coated with a highly conductive, yet transparent film preventing electromagnetic interference.

In short: The unique combination of innovative design, high-end technology and tube-typical sound quality ensures magic takes.

    Pretty Amazing. The deepest, clearest, richest sound I've ever heard. Blows away my ATR-2100, Rode Procaster, EV-RE20.

    How long will the tube last, and do you sell replacement tubes for the Lewitt 840 mic?

    We don't carry them normally, but we can special order one for you or you can go through the manufacturer. And the tubes may vary from a few months to a few years, depending on how much you use it.

    Hello, The description said when I buy the microphone I get a case, shock mount and power supply, BUT one of the picture for this product showed that I get a windscreen, Lewitt xlr cable, and some other stuff too. I am just a bit confused what I am getting if I buy this product.

    When you buy this there will be everything pictured. The cable connects from the power supply with a special connection on one end and XLR on the other that supplies the power to the tube microphone.
