Record with premium sound from high-end components and 1" true condenser capsule
Create the perfect sound for different vocalists and instruments using 4 all-analog tube characteristics and a crystal-clear FET circuit
Adjust all settings from your sweetspot via the remote control

Extra punch and precision with the blendable FET circuit.

Tweak your sound to perfection. You can dial in the FET circuit via the Circuit control whenever you're looking for that extra punch or precision for your voice or instrument.

Tweak all settings from your sweetspot via the remote control.

Set up the LCT 1040 in the recording room where the artist performs. Detach the remote control from the PSU and connect them via your standard 3-pin XLR cable. Now you can tweak all settings from your sweetspot via the remote control, ensuring a smooth-running session.

Save precious time, keep the creativity flowing, giving you exactly the sound you are looking for.

Seamless polar pattern control to get exactly what you want.

Set the directivity with the seamless polar pattern control of the LCT 1040, giving you exactly what you were looking for. Additionally, you can also freely define the front of the mic depending on your recording scenario.

Default sets the tube window as the front side of the mic.
Reverse sets the logo as the front of the mic.

Two XLR outputs for full flexibility in post production.

To prepare you for all possible scenarios, the LCT 1040 features two XLR outputs with Neutrik connectors.

The Mix output delivers the ratio set with the Circuit control, a combination of the tube and FET circuit.
The FET output delivers 100% pure FET independent from the Circuit control.

Shock mount with carbon fiber elements and quick release mechanism.

Quick release mechanisms for the microphone and the adjustment of the angle.
Carbon fiber elements support efficient decoupling of the microphone.
Microphone can be turned by 360° when in shock mount.

Dual-layer magnetic pop filter for clean recordings.

The high-performance magnetic pop filter of the LCT 1040 protects your capsule from unwanted plosives and moisture. Its double-layer design perfectly integrates with the shock mount and ensures clean recordings with any vocalist or genre.
