Lewitt LCT 840
WARM & CLASSIC VINTAGE SOUND
Classic microphone with modern features
The LCT 840, equipped with a precision-engineered 1″ capsule, stands for exceptionally warm and classic tube sound. It offers highly nuanced and authentic sound reproduction in the studio and even onstage. 5 switchable polar patterns, 3 low-cut settings, and 3 pre-attenuations settings make the LCT 840 a highly versatile tool.
Honest tube sound
The dual triode 12AX7 tube delivers a warm and comforting sound with smooth high frequencies while still preserving the ability to cut through the mix. Low self-noise and high dynamic range exemplify how the LCT 840 is vintage design brought into the present.
The future of vintage
Innovation and heritage brought together
The LCT 840 is like its country of origin, Vienna, Austria – a mixture of old and new, traditional heritage and high-tech. We love rich tube sound, we and we love modern design. Combining them both in the LCT 840 is a dream come true for all recording professionals.
