LEWITT LCT 40 TS — a 0.5m adapter cable with a mini female XLR connector to a standard 3-pin male XLR, required to run the LCT 640 TS microphone in its dual-output mode.
This is a narrowly specialized piece of infrastructure, essential for owners of the LCT 640 TS microphone who want to use its dual-output feature — simultaneously outputting signal from both the tube and FET signal paths on two separate connectors. Without this cable, the microphone's second, miniature output remains incompatible with standard studio cabling.
Accessing the LCT 640 TS's Second Signal Path
The problem with microphones featuring a non-standard secondary output is that a miniature connector mounted on the body doesn't directly mate with typical mic cables terminated in a full-size XLR. LCT 40 TS solves this by adapting the microphone's mini female jack to a full-size 3-pin male XLR connector, which plugs directly into any mic input on a console or interface. That gives an engineer full access to both the LCT 640 TS's tube and FET signal paths, with no field-soldered adapter required.
Mixing Flexibility Between Two Tonal Characters
Recording with a single microphone usually locks an engineer into one tonal character chosen before the session, making it hard to revisit that decision at mixdown. With the LCT 40 TS cable, both LCT 640 TS outputs — warm tube and clean FET — arrive on separate channels simultaneously, letting the two characters be blended in any proportion after the fact, rather than committing to one path irreversibly during tracking.
