Review: Best Mic I've Ever Owned - Phenomenal microphone for voice, or pretty much anything else! I'm a voice actor and have tried several of the "go-to" voice over mics from the top brands (Neumann, Shure, Akg, and a couple others) and though most were very good, many were quite similar in sound to each other and didn't stand out as "The One" for my particular voice. I was always curious about Lewitt as they seem to be doing great things by making high quality, innovative mics that won't break the bank. So I went on a limb and bought the 540s and, to be honest, I wasn't a big fan at first. Compared to other mics I've tried, this mic (and I believe Lewitts in general) had its own sound that was such a clear, larger than life, almost HD quality sound that was TOO real for me at the time and I just wasn't accustomed to it. So guess what...I returned it! But after going back to some of the other mics I had been using, they sounded kinda lifeless to me and I actually started to miss that Lewitt sound! So I bought it again and never looked back. Since then I've booked plenty of jobs with it and have gotten a lot of compliments from clients as to the clarity of my sound. I gotta give props to Lewitt for being innovative pioneers in an otherwise redundant market of high quality microphones. I'm definitely a fan. Review: THIS IS THE MIC For big and small studios - Ships as it is showed. If you are working on a small studio with little treatment you will love this mic, because 1. Sounds mix ready. 2. Little proximity effect, not generating problemating frequencies on the low mids and lows. 3. The 160 low pass filter can help you with the proximity effect so you get cleaner vocals with less room leakage. 4. The back and sides of the mic rejects AT LOT of external sounds, yeah, im not exagerating. Even with this level of input sensitivity. Top quality. I still use an extra pop filter (the manufacturer recommends that on their YT channel) The difference between this and my Audio Technica AT4040 is like day and night. ## Features - CAPTURE EVERY DETAIL - Experience a whole new level of musical detail. The LCT 540 S sets 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. - ULTRA LOW SELF-NOISE - With its specific and unique approach towards circuit and capsule design, the LCT 540 S features self-noise of only 4 dB (A). It is below the threshold of human hearing across the entire frequency spectrum. - FIT FOR EXTREME PROCESSING - With its cutting-edge circuit and capsule design, 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. - 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. This way, you can form a pair when you buy another one later on. - AWARD-WINNING DESIGN - LEWITT is the winner of 15 (!!!) prestigious industry awards and is the first choice for producers and sound engineers working with artists such as Justin Bieber, the Rolling Stones, Halsey, Post Malone, Kehlani, Yngwie Malmsteen or Doja Cat. - STURDY HOUSING - This microphone, developed by LEWITT in Austria, has a sturdy and robust housing with a gold-plated XLR connector, which guarantees a long service life. Each microphone is individually measured and tested and comes with a 2-year warranty. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B078GQH9FV | | Antenna Location | Voice Recording, Singing, Speech | | Audible Noise | 12 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 28 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #74,620 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #754 in Multipurpose Condenser Microphones | | Brand | Lewitt | | Built-In Media | Microphone | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Laptop, Personal Computer, Audio Interface | | Connectivity Technology | Wired | | Connector Type | Gold Plated 3-Pin XLR | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 4.5 out of 5 stars (55) | | Enclosure Material | Zinc Die Cast | | Frequency Response | 160 Hz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00847986001856 | | Item Dimensions | 9.1 x 7.3 x 10.6 inches | | Item Type Name | Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone | | Item Weight | 3.55 Pounds | | Manufacturer | Lewitt | | Mfr Part Number | AMS-LCT-540-SUBZERO | | Microphone Form Factor | Large Diaphragm | | Model Name | LCT 540 Subzero | | Model Number | AMS-LCT-540-SUBZERO | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 87 dB | | Special Feature | Clip | | UPC | 847986001856 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Brand:** Lewitt - **Color:** Black - **Compatible Devices:** Laptop, Personal Computer, Audio Interface - **Connectivity Technology:** Wired - **Connector Type:** Gold Plated 3-Pin XLR - **Included Components:** Microphone - **Model Name:** LCT 540 Subzero - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Voice Recording, Singing, Speech - **Special Feature:** Clip ## Images ![LCT540 Large-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71KIkMRZHOL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Style** options. ## Questions & Answers **Q: Would a simple Focusrite preamp be enough gain with phantom power or does this need a cloudlifter/fethead like the Shure?** A: Yes it'd work great with a Focusrite preamp. We've even tested that combo and it sounds great together. If this was helpful, please consider purchasing from us (seller pixelproaudio on Amazon). We can help with support after the sale as well. We have it in stock and ready to ship. - Pixel Pro Audio **Q: How would this work with a scarlett and a dbx compressor?** A: I got Scarlett solo (2nd gen) + dbx 286s and it works great! **Q: What happened to the “Subzero” branding? I got one but it no longer say’s subzero, just S.** A: I have a Subzero, but it just says 540 s. Even Lewitt is just using S now. Not sure why the change but description and ultra low self noise is still the same **Q: How would i connect this mic to my pc for recording voice in audacity? is there a usb option?** A: Unfortunately since this microphone requires phantom power (48v), yiu need an interface to power the mike and connect it to your pc. I use a Focusrite 4i4 but you can use any interface device which will provide phantom power and connect it to your USB input. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Best Mic I've Ever Owned *by B***R on January 10, 2020* Phenomenal microphone for voice, or pretty much anything else!
