10 YEAR EXTENDED WARRANTY SCHEME

The product price includes 3 years' warranty and 50 day money back guarantee.

However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers.

The highlights of this enhanced warranty service are:

  • Warranty is extended to 10 years from the date of delivery.
  • Our Money Back guarantee is extended from 50 days to 60 days (terms apply after 50 days)
  • Collection and delivery costs are included for the first 2 years in the event of an item becoming faulty
  • Claim 50% cash back on the cost of the policy after 10 years if it has not been used!
  • Warranty is transferable if the item is re-sold
  • Loan or replacement equipment will be provided if the product isn't repaired within 30 days
  • If an item can not be repaired, a similar alternative product or cash discount (as defined in this policy) will be offered
  • The policy can be cancelled within 30 days, and at any time after that for a pro-rata discount

Please note that this extended warranty is currently only available on products sold within the UK, EU or EEA, and is subject to the terms and conditions as detailed on the extended warranty certificate provided.

For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs.

This enhanced warranty is in addition to the standard Gear4music and manufacturer warranty policies, and the Gear4music terms and conditions of trade. No statement or condition of sale contained within these terms affects or restricts your statutory rights as defined under the Consumer Contracts Regulation 2014.

Take control and customise your microphone with the remote control

Putting the power of the Lewitt LCT1040 at your fingertips, the powerful remote control allows you to control every parameter of your microphone to get the best results for your session. With the remote control, the Lewitt LCT1040 allows you to tweak all the available microphone settings from your control room, eliminating the room to go back and forth from the live room. Simply power up with the included PSU and connect via a 3-pin XLR cable. With seamless control over the five onboard polar patterns, you can control the response of your capsule with ease. Set the directivity of your microphone from Omni, wide cardioid, cardioid, supercardioid, figure-8 and any blend between each. No matter if you're recording full ensembles, small chamber orchestras, singer/songwriters or a full drum kit, you can always be ready to capture the sound to get the best results for your mix.

The dual-circuit design between FET and Tube microphone is also completely controllable via the remote control. Blend between both circuits 100 or a mix of both to create the perfect timbre for your voice or instrument. With no dead-spots when sweeping between both circuits you can add the extra punch and precision of the FET circuit, ideal for percussive instruments or dial in the warmth and smoothness of the Tube circuit, ideal for lead vocals or singer/songwriters.

The low-cut and pre-attenuation settings are ideal for catering to different recording applications, from vocals to instruments. It is also designed to make your workflow easier, allowing the studio engineer to change the settings without having to go to the microphone.

When you have dialled in your perfect sound, the remote control features two XLR outputs, where the 'Mix' output records the ratio set between your circuit control and the 'FET' output delivers only 100 FET circuit. Savvy engineers will see this as an opportunity to take microphone signals from one microphone to mix in post-production, allowing you to fine-tune your recordings in your DAW for your project!

Expertly designed accessories

More than just accessories, the Lewitt LCT1040 comes with the essentials to get the best performance from your microphone. A carbon-fibre shockmount supports the weight of the microphone whilst providing efficient decoupling effects from the microphone to your stand. Decoupling your microphone from your stand ensures that you will avoid any extraneous noise from vibrations within your room, creating a clean and precise recording free from any distractions. Additionally designed with a quick-release mechanism, you can remove your microphone from the cradle and adjust the angle a full 360-degrees fast, saving you time when it matters most.

A high-performance magnetic pop filter is included to reduce the effects of proximity as well as plosives. Not only that, but it also protects your microphone from any unwanted moisture that can damage your LCT1040 over time. The magnetic design integrates perfectly with the shockmount for a quick and easy setup to get recording with clean and distortion-free audio.
