Engineered for extremely low self-noise with a dynamic range of 132 dB, Lewitt's LCT 540 S condenser picks up every subtle detail of vocals and instruments.
Overview
Rediscover sound with the Lewitt Audio LCT 540 S -- a cardioid 1" condenser microphone for capturing ultra-detailed sound images.
The engineering of this particular piece of cutting-edge audio technology asked for a forward-thinking approach towards capsule and circuit design. As a result, a way of experiencing sound at infinite depth and absolute precision came to life; its name, the LCT 540 S. Get involved with tone and sound in ways unheard and bring your recordings to perfection by capturing all the fine-grained characteristics that constitute each moment of your performance. Rediscover your instrument and voice on a whole new level of musical detail.
- Developed in close cooperation with world-renowned producers and audio engineers
- First and foremost designed to be an outstanding vocal microphone.
- Naturally, thanks to its specifications, it is suitable for almost any application.
- Self-noise below the threshold of human hearing
- Ideal for extreme processing
- Low-cut filters and attenuation
- Included: Shock mount, Magnetic pop filter, Windscreen, Transport bag

Better than human hearing - Unique self-noise architecture
Human hearing is less sensitive towards low and very high frequencies, and most sensitive around 2 - 5 kHz. Comparing the hearing threshold to the self-noise values of the LCT 540 S, you can clearly see that this microphone is always below the threshold of hearing. The entire frequency spectrum is important, here, because looking at a microphone's self-noise as a single value just isn't detailed enough when discussing high-end sound transducers.Push it to the limit - With 9900 pounds of measurement
The better the microphone, the more difficult self-noise measurement gets. You need a place where no outside noise will interfere with the measurement result. This is especially difficult for lower frequencies. To measure the self-noise of the LCT 540 S, Lewitt… read more needed to build a unique measurement device that is more than ten times more massive than conventional ones, weighing over 4500 kg or 9900 pounds in total. It heavily dampens frequencies up to a 1/10,000th of their sound pressure. The whole frequency range of a microphone from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz is dampened by 60 dB, up to 80 dB on the higher frequencies.The tip of the iceberg: Why is low self-noise important?
When you climb a mountain, and the weather is clear, your reward is a fantastic view. If it is partly cloudy or foggy, the payoff is profoundly reduced. The same goes for recording. Some peaks stick out of the noise floor (fog), but if you remove as much noise as possible, you will be rewarded with details that were buried before. This microphone can pick up the subtlest details in vocals or instruments, an almost inaudible whispering can be pushed up and sound crystal clear. Many noise issues only reveal themselves in post-production. Once you start compressing the signals a previously inaudible noise floor can appear; not with the LCT 540 S.What's in the box?
The LCT 540 S comes in a military-grade protective case, with a shock mount that reduces structure-borne noise to a minimum, and a magnetic pop-filter that integrates perfectly with the design of the microphone.Features:
