The Lewitt LCT 1040 is a premium studio microphone system that combines tube and FET circuitry in a single 1-inch true condenser housing. Four all-analog tube characteristics (Clear, Warm, Dark, and Saturated) shape the tone, while the FET circuit delivers a clean signal you can blend at any ratio. A detachable remote control lets you adjust polar pattern, low-cut, pad, tube character, and circuit blend from the control room.
