LCT 240 PRO
Take it to the next level
Condenser microphone with high-performance capsule and cardioid pattern for all applications.
FOR PROFESSIONAL RECORDINGS
Works great for every sound source.
"Giant leaps instead of small steps" was the tagline for developing our LCT 240 PRO, a surprisingly versatile cardioid condenser microphone for everyone who’s eager to take the next step in professional recording. All applications can be covered thanks to its highly nuanced and transparent sound.
Condenser technology
Condenser microphones are much more sensitive to sound than dynamic microphones. The LCT 240 PRO enables clean, modern, and detailed recordings. It boosts the airy frequencies for intimate and direct sounding vocal recordings.

Handles even the highest sound pressure levels
Whether you want to record your tube amp at high volumes, drums, saxophone or other instruments that produce high sound pressure levels - with the LCT 240 PRO you are always on the safe side. It can handle ear-shattering sound pressure levels and is able to reproduce every sound source in a clear and precise way at any volume.
Upgrade your mic ...
... with shock mount and magnetic pop filter.
A shock mount reduces structure-borne noise to a minimum and a magnetic pop-filter that integrates perfectly with the design of the microphone. This magnetic pop filter will efficiently reduce pops and hisses without covering 2/3rds of your vocal artist's face. The most subtle and convenient way of getting the most out of every single recording.

What's in the box
