LEWITT's LCT540 Reference Class Condenser Microphone
The Authentica LCT 540 exhibits a combination of qualities that will undoubtedly make it a studio favorite among audio engineers and professional musicians. Designed to complement modern recording techniques and meet the expectations of ever-demanding sound professionals, this versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone offers outstanding performance in miking lead vocals, drums and percussion instruments, brass and woodwinds, classical music ensembles.
The LCT 540's cardioid 1-inch capsule, enclosed by an extra-large hexagonal grille, captures elaborate and exceptionally nuanced sonic details by rendering off-axis sounds while optimizing isolation of the main sound source. The LCT 540's pad features two levels of attenuation and two switchable low-cut frequencies, two-color LEDs as well as pushbuttons for noiseless handling. A dynamic range of 135 dB and an extremely low self-noise of 8 dB round off the features of this exceptional microphone.
