Lewitt - LCT 540 S
Capture every detailLewitt's unique approach towards electronics and capsule design makes the microphone better than human hearing. With the LCT 540 S, a new benchmark has been set in terms of capturing fine-grained details of your recording source. Record details of your voice and instruments that usually wouldn’t even be audible.
The human hearing threshold is very frequency-dependent. It is less sensitive towards low and very high frequencies and most sensitive around 2 – 5 kHz. With this specific and unique approach towards circuit and capsule design, Lewitt were able to realize self-noise that'll stay below the threshold of hearing across the full frequency spectrum. The LCT 540 S comes with a shock mount, magnetic pop filter, foam windscreen, transport bag and transport case included.

• Ideal for extreme processing
• Low-cut filters and attenuation
• Cardioid polar pattern
A New Level of Musical Detail
Fit for extreme processingFeaturing cutting-edge circuit and capsule design, the LCT 540 S has an impressive dynamic range of 132 dB to capture everything from loud to subtle. You won’t hear the self-noise of the mic even after heavily compressing the signal. Material recorded with the LCT 540 S is fit for extreme processing.
Perfect match technologyEach of the LCT 540 S undergoes a range of measurements followed by adjustment of the polarization voltage to achieve the same sensitivity in every LCT 540 S we will ever produce. This way, you can form a pair when you buy another one later on.
