Lewitt LCT 540 S Condenser Microphone
Engineered in Austria, the Lewitt LCT 540 S Condenser Microphone features ultra-low self noise — below the threshold of human hearing. Lewitt’s stunning achievement with the LCT 540 S delivers an unprecedented 4dB equivalent noise level, making the mic ideal for ultra-high-resolution capture of instruments and vocals. It also makes it perfect for extreme processing with heavy compression or long signal chains, which tend to exacerbate any noise present at the mic. With the LCT 540 S, the subtlest nuances of even the quietest sources shine through with crystal clarity. Beyond traditional music studio scenarios, this outstanding mic exceptional sensitivity lends itself to sampling sessions, Foley for film and video post, and ASMR (Autonomous Sensory Meridian Response) recordings. Whatever your application, if you’re looking for the nth degree of detail and clarity, the Lewitt LCT 540 S will capture it flawlessly.
Fully featured to capture any source
Aside from its remarkable specs, the Lewitt LCT 540 S is a full-featured true condenser mic that’s well equipped to handle the trickiest recording tasks. And with its versatile cardioid polar pattern, it’s also a daily workhorse mic you’ll constantly reach for. Its robust maximum SPL rating of 136dB and two pre-attenuation pads let you mic dimed electric guitar amps without fear of overload; meanwhile, its two low-cut filter settings eliminate structure-borne rumble and unwanted LF content. The LCT 540 S comes complete with a shockmount, a windscreen, a magnetic pop filter, a cushioned mic bag, and a mil-spec transport case. All in all, it’s a valuable addition to your mic locker, and a fabulous value — so much so that we know you’ll be tempted to buy two of them!
Double your value
Given its stellar performance, reasonable price tag, and Lewitt’s Perfect-match technology, using two Lewitt LCT 540 S microphones as a stereo pair is a no-brainer — which in no way negates this mic’s efficacy when used singly on acoustic guitar, drums, or really, any acoustic or electric instrument. Its durable, lightweight zinc die-cast housing and compact form factor make it perfect for capturing snare drums and other hard-to-reach sources in the studio and onstage. Even better: double your value with a stereo pair. They’re supremely effective when deployed as drum overheads, room mics, or to capture a grand piano in glorious stereo.
