Frequently Asked Questions

What are the shipping rates?

We offer free shipping on most items to metro areas in ACT, NSW, VIC, and QLD. If you are in a regional area we do offer great shipping rates, though it is often too expensive for us to offer free shipping. You can calculate shipping costs in the checkout and on item pages with your postcode.
Orders under $50 incur a minimum order fee to cover shipping.

Standard vs Express Shipping

Our shipping platform will automatically determine and display the Express or Standard shipping options that are available to you. If Express is not displaying, you're either located too far away from our store in Canberra, or the Standard shipping option will get it to you just as fast for the same price. Express shipping is 1-5 days, Standard 2-10 days depending on how far you are away from our store in Canberra.

What payment methods do you offer?

We offer secure checkout options like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Zip Pay and Bank Deposit.
American Express payments are also accepted, although most AmEx transactions will require manual authorization after payment (Someone from the team will contact you to confirm the transaction after checkout)

Imagine getting the perfect sound every time.

Like a painter who uses his colour palette, the LCT 1040 gives you the power to create the sound you envision.

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-analogue tube characteristics and a crystal-clear FET circuit
Adjust all settings from your sweet spot via the remote control
 

A wide range of outstanding tube tones developed in close cooperation with world-renowned engineers and producers.

Clear – Tube works at technical optimum
Warm – Smooth and pleasant high-end
Dark – Tamed highs for bright sources
Saturated – Rich harmonics and subtle compression

Together, these 100% all-analogue tube characteristics are designed to cover all applications and styles recorded in the studio - from the finest violin to roaring Rock voices. They are the result of LEWITT‘s close cooperation with industry professionals and the global audio community.

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 sweet spot 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 fine tune your sound from your sweet spot via the remote control, ensuring a smooth-running session.

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 using the Default/Reverse flip switch.

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 fibre elements and quick release mechanism

Quick release mechanisms for the microphone and the adjustment of the angle.
Carbon fibre elements support efficient decoupling of the microphone.
The microphone can be turned by 360° when inside the 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.
