Lewitt LCT-640TS

Stop by and celebrate with us the premier of the new LCT 640 TS, an all-round studio mic of extraordinary quality. This multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser microphone makes it possible to adjust the polar pattern post-recording – a concept with the potential to transform how we think about postproduction.

Unlike other microphones, the LCT 640 TS features a dual-output mode that enables engineers to record the front and back diaphragm of the capsule individually. This makes it possible to change and fine-tune the polar pattern seamlessly all the way from omnidirectional to figure-8 as well as to turn the recording direction of the microphone by 180° even after the recording session. This entails the ability to add as much room sound as desired post-recording and makes a wide range of unique stereo recording techniques possible. What's more the dual capsule can also be used for interactive face to face duets between musicians.

Another useful feature is the ability to record ""Mid Side"" stereo with only one LCT 640 TS. Musicians and engineers just have to point the side of the microphone to the source they want to record. The front capsule then serves as the left-side channel while the back capsule serves as the right side. Summing both signals together creates the mid-channel. The easiest way to create this in a DAW is to put both signals on a stereo track and adjust the stereo width.

The LCT 640 TS will come bundled with a newly developed, pioneering DAW plug-in called ""Polarizer"". This intuitive plug-in makes it possible to easily and seamlessly change or fine-tune the polar pattern during postproduction. Polarizer works on both PCs and Macs, and it supports the following plug-in standards: VST, AU and AAX. And of course, the available polar patterns can also be created manually in any DAW or mixing console.

The LCT 640 TS will be available in the stores around May 2016, but you can try it out right now at NAMM Hall A / Booth #6464!
