“The LCT 640 TS is the swiss army knife of microphones and is always ready for action.”

“The LCT 640 TS provides an amazing, very balanced sound, so it lends itself to recording almost any instrument or sound source.”

“The real strength of this microphone is in its ability to allow real-time and/or post-production adjustment of the polar pattern.”
Hugh Robjohns
Your ultimate FET studio condenser microphone.
Whether you're recording studio vocals or stereo drum overheads, the LCT 640 TS is up to the task. Its forward-thinking feature set has been officially certified by the Music and Technology Alliance (MET), consisting of top award-winning audio engineers/producers, including Elliot Scheiner, George Massenburg, and Sylvia Massy, just to name a few.
Stereo and more with Dual Output.
Stereo recording can be time-consuming and challenging. With the LCT 640 TS, you can record perfect, in-phase stereo with a single microphone. The signals from the front and back of the LCT 640 capsule can be output on two separate channels, making it adaptable to both solo vocals and wide open rooms and even choirs.
Record every detail of your voice or instrument.
When you need beautifully clear recordings, the professional-grade FET circuitry of the LCT 640 TS will let you hear every nuance of the performance. You'll get perfect clarity, and small details will shine through, making it the best choice for vocals, stringed instruments, piano, or even ASMR recordings.
More freedom and flexibility.
The LCT 640 TS gives you all the control you'll ever need from a microphone.
- Five different polar patterns help you adapt your microphone to any source.
- A switchable pad can attenuate up to -18dB for even the loudest performances.
- A generous four-step roll off filter can attenuate up to 150 Hz to reduce low-end rumble and room noise.
- The included POLARIZER plugin lets you get creative by adjusting polar patterns in your DAW.
