Lewitt LCT 540 SUBZERO Large-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

LEWITT’s special approach towards electronics and capsule design makes the microphone better than human hearing. With the LCT 540 SUBZERO, LEWITT set a new benchmark 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. Make every detail count.

With its cutting-edge circuit and capsule design, the LCT 540 SUBZERO features 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 SUBZERO is fit for extreme processing.

Our hearing threshold is very frequency-dependent. It is less sensitive towards low and very high frequencies and most sensitive around 2 to 5 kHz. With LEWITT’s circuit and capsule design, they were able to realize self-noise that’ll stay below the threshold of hearing across the entire frequency spectrum.

The 1″ true condenser capsule of the LCT 540 SUBZERO captures your instruments or vocals with an impressive amount of depth, detail, and clarity. Every single one of Lewitt’s capsules is tested according to the highest quality standards. At Lewitt, they completely measure every single microphone before it gets to you, to ensure that you can make every detail of your sound count.

The mic offers two low-cut filter selections (80 or 160 Hz) to eliminate unwanted low-frequency sounds, compensate for proximity effect, and reduce structure-borne noise. Use the -6 or -12 dB pad to avoid clipping when recording very loud sound sources.
