Lewitt LCT 40 TS Dual Output Adapter Cable for LCT 640 TS, Mini-XLR to XLR

Lewitt LCT 40 TS: Unlock Dual Output Mode on Your LCT 640 TS

The Lewitt LCT 40 TS is a short 3-pin mini-XLR to standard XLR adapter cable that unlocks Dual Output mode on the Lewitt LCT 640 TS microphone. Roughly 1.6 feet (0.5 m) long, it breaks out the microphone's second diaphragm to its own XLR output, so both sides of the capsule reach your interface on separate channels. That single cable is what turns the LCT 640 TS from a normal multi-pattern mic into a record-now, decide-later instrument - capture both diaphragms and set the polar pattern in the mix, long after the take is done.

What Dual Output Mode Actually Does

The LCT 640 TS is a dual-diaphragm microphone, and in Dual Output mode each diaphragm - front and back - is sent to a separate channel instead of being blended inside the mic. Recorded that way, the polar pattern is no longer fixed at the moment of tracking: because you have both diaphragm signals, you can dial in omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-8, or anything between during mixdown by combining the two channels in software. The LCT 40 TS is the physical link that makes this possible, taking the microphone's second mini-XLR output to a full-size XLR your interface can accept.

A Short, Purpose-Built Adapter Lead

The cable terminates in a 3-pin mini-XLR female that mates with the LCT 640 TS's secondary output and a standard 3-pin XLR male for your preamp or interface, so the second channel plugs in exactly like any other microphone. At about 1.6 feet (0.5 m) it is deliberately short - long enough to reach a nearby second cable or interface input without adding a tangle of slack at the mic. It is the dedicated lead the LCT 640 TS needs to run in its two-channel mode.

Who the LCT 40 TS Is For

This adapter is for LCT 640 TS owners who want to record in Dual Output mode - engineers and producers who prefer to lock in the polar pattern after the performance, vocal and instrument sessions where the perfect pattern is not obvious until the mix, and anyone who wants the safety of capturing both diaphragms. If you own the LCT 640 TS and want its most powerful feature, the LCT 40 TS is the cable that switches it on.
