Description

Here’s what Lewitt say about the LCT640 TS Microphone

Designed and engineered in Austria, LEWITT’s new LCT 640 TS will revolutionize the way we think about the recording process. Set to Dual Output Mode the signal of the mics front and back diaphragm is provided by independent circuitries, any kind of polar pattern can be realized dynamically – even after the recording.

Already recorded material can be changed dynamically by adjusting the polar pattern – room sound can be added or decreased, even a turn by 180° is possible. ​After recording with the LCT 640 TS you can use LEWITT’s Polarizer plugin to tweak the material with incredible ease of use.

In Multi-Pattern Mode the LCT 640 TS has all the well-known characteristics of a great sounding studio multi-pattern condenser mic. It features five polar patterns: omni, wide cardioid, cardioid, supercardioid and figure-8. Perfect Match technology takes care that all LCT 640 TS are having the exact same sensitivity at 1 kHz. The Dual Output Mode allows to record in stereo with only one LCT 640 TS – usually only possible with two microphones. Clipping History, 4 low-cut and pre-attenuation settings round off the outstanding feature list of the LCT 640 TS. The LCT 640 TS opens doors to a new world of recording techniques.

Condenser Microphones

Condenser microphones are widely used in studio recording because of their sensitivity, clarity, and ability to capture fine detail. They are commonly chosen for vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, strings, and room recording, where accuracy and nuance matter. Condenser microphones usually require phantom power and are available in large and small diaphragm designs, making them suitable for everything from intimate vocal takes to detailed overhead and ambient recordings.

Cardioid

Cardioid is a directional microphone pickup pattern that captures sound primarily from the front while reducing sound from the sides and rear. It is widely used for vocals, podcasting, and live sound, helping to control background noise and reduce feedback in both studio and performance environments.

Condenser

Condenser microphones are highly sensitive microphones designed to capture detail, clarity, and nuance. They are widely used in studio recording for vocals, acoustic instruments, piano, and ambient sound. Condenser microphones typically require phantom power and are available in large and small diaphragm designs, making them versatile tools for accurate sound capture.

Omnidirectional

Omnidirectional microphones capture sound equally from all directions, providing a natural and open recording that reflects the full acoustic environment. They are often used in studio, live and location settings where an accurate sense of space and room ambience is desired.

Because they do not favour a single direction, omnidirectional mics are less affected by proximity effect and handle movement around the microphone more smoothly. This makes them ideal for group vocals, round-table discussions, ambient recording and situations where consistent sound pickup is more important than isolating a single source.

Supercardioid

Supercardioid microphones use a tight directional pickup pattern that focuses strongly on sound from the front while rejecting much of the sound from the sides. They offer greater isolation than standard cardioid microphones, making them well suited to noisy environments.

Commonly used in live sound, broadcast and studio applications, supercardioid mics help reduce bleed from other instruments or speakers. Like hypercardioid microphones, they have a small rear pickup area, so careful placement is important to achieve the best clarity and control.
