Lewitt LCT 40 Wxx Foam Windscreen for LCT 840 and LCT 940 Microphones

Lewitt LCT 40 Wxx: Tame Plosives and Wind on Your LCT 840 or 940

The Lewitt LCT 40 Wxx is a large cylindrical foam windscreen shaped for the flagship Lewitt LCT 840 and LCT 940 microphones, slipping over the body to soften plosives and block moving air before they reach the capsule. Made of open-cell foam sized to these larger bodies, it fits snugly by its own elasticity and adds a layer of protection against the pops, gusts, and breath blasts that a sensitive large-diaphragm mic would otherwise print. It is the simple accessory that keeps a bumped consonant or a stray draft from spoiling an otherwise clean take.

How a Foam Windscreen Protects the Recording

Plosive consonants like P and B, and any moving air, push a burst of pressure at the microphone that the capsule reads as a loud, low-frequency thump or a rush of wind noise. The Wxx's open-cell foam works as an acoustic diffuser: air passes through its porous structure and is slowed and broken up, so the sudden pressure spike is dissipated before it hits the diaphragm, while the sound you actually want passes through nearly untouched. The result is fewer ruined takes from popped consonants and a usable signal in the breeze of an outdoor or on-location shoot.

Sized and Built for the LCT 840 and 940

The Wxx is cut to the diameter of the larger LCT 840 and LCT 940 bodies, so it seats securely without stretching thin or slipping off mid-session, and its elastic fit means it goes on and comes off in seconds with nothing to clip or screw. The foam is UV-resistant, so it holds its shape and color rather than yellowing and crumbling with light exposure over time. It adds this protection without the bulk or reflections of a bracket-mounted pop filter, keeping the setup clean.

Who the LCT 40 Wxx Is For

This windscreen is for owners of the Lewitt LCT 840 or LCT 940 who need plosive and wind protection - vocalists and voiceover artists fighting pops up close, and anyone taking these mics out for field, location, or interview work where even indoor air movement is a problem. If you own one of these flagship Lewitt mics, the LCT 40 Wxx is the foam sized to fit it and keep your recordings clean.
