Premium-class, super-low self-noise, multi-pattern, dual-diaphragm tube microphone from LCT Recording series that is designed to excel in a variety of demanding applications, delivering a unique combination of innovative design, high-end technology, and tube-typical sound quality. It is like its country of origin, Vienna, Austria – a mixture of old and new, traditional heritage and high-tech. The externally polarized dual-diaphragm 1” capsule captures every nuance of the performance thanks to its 3-micron-thin, gold-layered, low-mass diaphragms. It can handle everything from vocals to full orchestras and it allows for nuanced sound reproduction in the studio and even onstage. Five switchable polar patterns – omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8, wide cardioid and supercardioid – make the microphone a highly versatile tool for professional audio engineers and performers looking for true and authentic 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 microphone is vintage design brought into the present. Like all LEWITT microphones, the model also stands out for its extremely low self-noise and high dynamic range. It features three levels of settings each for attenuation and switchable low-cut filtering, both of which are noiselessly controlled by pushbuttons for noiseless handling on the LED-illuminated remote control unit. In addition to its user-friendly controls and advanced technological features, the microphone makes an eye-catching design statement: it is equipped with an electromagnetically shielded inspection window on the front side of the body that fully reveals the illuminated tube. It provides a gold-plated 11-pin XLR connector. Dimensions: 192 x 60 x 46 mm. Weight: 662 g.
