Lewitt - LCT1040

Description

The LCT 1040 microphone system offers 4 all-analog tube characteristics and a crystal-clear FET circuit to create the perfect sound. The LCT 1040 microphone system gives you the power to create the sound you envision using 4 all-analog tube characteristics and a crystal-clear FET circuit. The detachable remote control allows you to make all settings from your sweetspot.

Features
* Premium Tube and FET microphone in one
* Robust desktop controller with separable power supply for remote console control
* Variable tube / FET setting to blend between the solid state circuitry and the built in tube
* Gold-sputtered 1-inch true condenser capsule
* Four switchable, all analog tube settings: Clear, Warm, Dark and Saturated
* Completely variable Polar Pattern settings from Figure 8 to cardioid to omnidirectional and everything in between.
