Lewitt LCT 540 SubZero Condenser Microphone

REDISCOVER SOUND

The LCT 540 SUBZERO represents a cutting-edge advancement in audio technology, particularly in capsule and circuit design, resulting in a remarkable way of experiencing sound with unparalleled depth and precision. This microphone is designed to elevate recordings to perfection by capturing the intricate nuances that make up every moment of a performance. It encourages users to explore and engage with sound in ways that were previously unheard of, enabling them to rediscover their instruments and voices on an entirely new level of musical detail.

Key Features:

Subzero Self-Noise Architecture:

The LCT 540 SUBZERO boasts an impressive subzero self-noise architecture, effectively pushing the boundaries of human hearing. By comparing the microphone’s self-noise values to the threshold of human hearing, it becomes evident that the microphone’s noise levels consistently remain below what humans can perceive. This extends across the entire frequency spectrum, ensuring an exceptional performance across different ranges of frequencies.

9900 Pounds of Measurement:

Measuring the self-noise of the LCT 540 SUBZERO is an intricate task due to the microphone’s high quality. To achieve accurate measurements, a unique measurement device was constructed, weighing over 9900 pounds (4500 kg). This device is specifically designed to dampen frequencies and reduce outside noise interference, offering a comprehensive measurement of the microphone’s performance. Frequencies across the microphone’s range are dampened significantly, even up to 80 dB for higher frequencies.

Importance of Low-Self Noise:

Just as a clear weather allows for a better view when climbing a mountain, reducing noise in recording brings out the hidden details. The LCT 540 SUBZERO’s low-self noise enables it to capture even the faintest details in vocals and instruments. This becomes especially valuable during post-production processes, where previously inaudible noise might become apparent when compressing signals. The LCT 540 SUBZERO’s design mitigates this issue.

Infinite Depth. Absolute Precision:

The microphone’s tagline, “Infinite Depth. Absolute Precision,” encapsulates its ability to capture sound with unparalleled accuracy. The microphone is constructed with meticulous precision, with every 3 μm gold-sputtered, 1″ Mylar diaphragm adhering to rigorous quality control standards. This meticulous design ensures that no detail of the recorded source is lost.

Perfect Match Technology:

Each individual LCT 540 SUBZERO undergoes a rigorous series of measurements and adjustments to achieve consistent sensitivity across all microphones produced. This “Perfect Match Technology” ensures that every unit performs at the same high level, allowing users to trust the microphone’s performance.

What’s Included:

The LCT 540 SUBZERO comes packaged in a military-grade protective case to ensure its safety during transportation and storage. Additionally, the microphone is accompanied by a shock mount designed to minimize structure-borne noise, enhancing the overall recording quality. The package also includes a magnetic pop-filter that seamlessly integrates with the microphone’s design, providing further support for achieving optimal recording conditions.

In summary, the LCT 540 SUBZERO is a pinnacle of audio technology, offering an exceptional level of precision, sensitivity, and noise reduction. Its innovative design and features make it an invaluable tool for capturing every subtle nuance of sound in recording, whether for musical performances or other audio applications.
