LCT 940 Authentica

Your studio FET and tube mic in the same housing

The LCT 940 unifies the specific characteristics of a premium large diaphragm FET condenser microphone and a top-notch tube microphone.

With "Tube" you get warmth and musical harmonics, while "FET" gives you clear and nuanced sound. Blend tube and FET circuit at any ratio and find your ideal mix.

Blend two sound characteristics at any ratio

By using the AMPLIFICATION knob, you can mix the two distinct microphone circuits, FET and tube circuit at any ratio to find your sweet spot.

This way you can dial in the ideal combination of warmth, punch, and clarity. Works brilliantly to adapt the LCT 940 to different voices.

The LC10 capsule is precision taken to a new level

The externally polarized dual-diaphragm 1" capsule captures every nuance of your performance thanks to its 3-micron-thin, gold-layered, low-mass diaphragms. It handles everything from vocals to full orchestras.

Dual triode 12AX7 tube for rich harmonics

For the tube circuit, the LCT 940 uses a dual triode 12AX7 tube to create that warm and comforting sound with smooth high frequencies while still preserving the ability to cut through the mix.

Remote control and power supply in one

The user interface on the remote control with integrated power supply allows a quick setup of polar pattern, pre-attenuation, and low-cut. It is easy to check or change the settings even in complete darkness due to its illuminated user interface.
