Lewitt Authentica LCT 940

The LCT 940 features a dedicated control unit that allows you to continuously mix the signals from its tube and FET circuits. You can dial in the warmth and harmonic saturation of the tube or lean into the clean, precise, and fast transient response of the FET circuit, giving you a wide tonal palette in a single microphone.

Yes, it is highly versatile. Because you can adjust the polar pattern and blend the tube and FET circuits, it works equally well for capturing intimate vocal performances or handling high-SPL sources like guitar cabinets and drum overheads.

The external PSU 940 unit allows you to adjust polar patterns, low-cut filters, and pre-attenuation settings without having to touch the microphone itself. This is particularly useful when the mic is positioned in a hard-to-reach spot, such as high above a drum kit or behind a vocal booth screen.

Yes, it uses a specialized 11-pin XLR cable to connect the microphone to the external power supply unit. From the power supply, you then use a standard XLR cable to connect to your audio interface or preamp.

The LCT 940 offers nine selectable polar patterns, ranging from omnidirectional to figure-8, with several intermediate steps in between. This flexibility allows you to precisely control how much room ambience you capture or to isolate specific sound sources in a busy recording environment.

Absolutely. The FET circuit is designed to handle high sound pressure levels up to 143 dB, and with the included 18 dB pre-attenuation pad engaged, it can handle up to 161 dB without distortion, making it a reliable choice for aggressive instruments.
