Capture every detail.   LCT 540 S          1" true condenser studio microphone     Self-noise below the threshold of human hearing      Ideal for extreme processing     Low-cut filters and attenuation     Cardioid polar pattern            Included: Shock mount, Magnetic pop filter, Windscreen, Transport bag             Rediscover your instrument and voice   Capture even more details than human hearing.      Experience a whole new    level of musical detail.                     Your mic for ultra-detailed         studio recordings.        Our unique approach towards electronics and capsule design makes the microphone better than human hearing. With the LCT 540 S, we 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.                                Fit for extreme processing            Even the subtlest nuances sound crystal clear.            With its cutting-edge circuit and capsule design, the LCT 540 S 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 S is fit for extreme processing.         How is this mic better    Self-noise values below the threshold of human hearing.        Our hearing threshold is very frequency-dependent. It is less sensitive towards low and very high frequencies and most sensitive around 2 – 5 kHz. With our specific and unique approach towards circuit and capsule design, we were able to realize self-noise that'll stay below the threshold of hearing across the entire frequency spectrum.         Yes, we like science   We had to elevate measurement to a new level.      To measure the self-noise of the LCT 540 S, we built a unique device. It's ten times more massive than conventional ones, weighing over 4500 kg or 9900 lbs in total. This amount of mass will dampen frequencies up to a 1/10,000th of their sound pressure. The frequency range from 20 Hz to 20,000 Hz is dampened by 60 dB, up to 80 dB on the higher frequencies.                   Perfect match technology      Every single LCT 540 S undergoes a series of measurements followed by adjustment of the polarization voltage to achieve the same sensitivity in every LCT 540 S we will ever produce.
