Universal Microphone Lewitt LCT 540 S Subzero

Lewitt LCT 540 S SUBZERO

This model takes “super-low self-noise,” “highly sensitive,” and “huge dynamic range” to a whole new level. Its premium-quality capsule, together with some clever circuit design, drops the electrical self-noise to -1 dB (A) at a sensitivity of 41 mV/Pa, -28 dBV/Pa, and it increases the dynamic range to 132 dB (A) – a first for studio-grade large-diaphragm condensers.

Features

• Subzero self-noise architecture
• High-resolution sonic images
• Perfect Match technology
• Cardioid polar pattern
• 3 Low-cut and attenuation settings
• Shock mount and magnetic pop-filter

Lewitt head of product management Moritz Lochner comments

“Everybody thinks 0 dB SPL is the hearing threshold, but that’s in fact only true at 2 kHz. At this point, the LCT 540 SUBZERO actually has self-noise of below -7 dB SPL – hence the name. The acoustic self-noise of 4 dB (A) is caused by random molecules bouncing against the diaphragm. Describing something frequency-dependent in one single value is nowhere near detailed enough at this level of engineering. We even went and redesigned our self-noise measuring equipment especially for this microphone.”
