A Unique Model in the Lewitt Range: "TS" Technology for Flexibility
The Lewitt LCT 640 TS stands out from classic large-diaphragm condenser microphones thanks to its "TS" concept: its two diaphragms (25.4 mm) can be used in an advanced way, with separate front and rear signal outputs. This approach positions the microphone as both a production and capturing tool, designed for those who want to secure a take and keep decision-making flexibility during mixing, without sacrificing the character of a true large-diaphragm microphone.
Intended Uses: Vocals, Instruments, and Creative Studio Captures
Designed for studio recording, the LCT 640 TS is particularly suited for vocals (singing, voice-over, premium podcast), acoustic guitars, pianos, strings, wind instruments, as well as ambiance recordings. The 5 polar patterns facilitate room control and spill management, while the dual front/rear capture opens creative possibilities: adjusting the amount of ambiance, "tightening" an overly wide take, or correcting imperfect microphone orientation post-recording.
Key Features: Control, Safety, and Stress-Free Workflow
Adjustable Directivity and Polarity After Recording
The main advantage of the LCT 640 TS lies in its ability to allow polarity and directivity adjustments after the take. This flexibility is valuable when placement must be quick, when the source moves, or when deciding between a tighter (cardioid) or more open (omni) capture during tracking.
Automatic Attenuation and Silent Controls
The switchable Lewitt automatic attenuation system helps handle dynamic range variations without interrupting a session. In manual mode, the clip history allows precise sensitivity fine-tuning. All settings are made via timed, silent buttons that are backlit for readability even in low light.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Lewitt LCT 640 TS allow directivity adjustment after recording?
Thanks to the separate retrieval of the front and rear signals from its two 25.4 mm diaphragms, polarity and directivity can be edited post-recording. This feature notably allows adjusting the ambient presence or correcting imperfect positioning.
Which microphone is suitable for recording vocals and acoustic guitar in a studio?
This model is suitable for singing vocals, voice-overs, and premium podcasts, as well as acoustic guitars, pianos, strings, and wind instruments. Its five polar patterns enable better control of room sound and bleed.
What SPL level can this microphone handle?
With the pad set to 0 dB, the maximum SPL is 134 dB. Selectable attenuation of +6, +12, or +18 dB raises this limit up to 152 dB. The switchable auto attenuation system also manages dynamic range variations.
What connectivity does this Lewitt microphone require?
Connection is made via XLR.
What are the dimensions and weight of the microphone?
The body measures 158 x 52 x 36 mm and weighs 435 g. The backlit controls are timed and silent to remain visible in low light without disturbing the recording.
