Introduction

Eight years into the market, developing an wide-stretching range of microphones for Live-sound, Studio recordings and other applications, Lewitt Audio has wilt a trademark that can’t be ignored when it comes to professional microphones. 

Lewitt LCT 640 TS microphone is a large-diaphragm, solid-state capacitor microphone from the Lewitt Audios LCT recording range. Basically, with an willowy polar pattern and pre-attenuation and filtering options which we will swoop into further, this microphone is an all-rounder.

Look, Feel & Ergonomics  

The Lewitt Microphone

The Lewitt Audio LCT 640 TS doesnt house unseemly materials and feels super sturdy! It holds apt weight making it not too light or heavy that would leave your tattoo arm in a fix. Corresponding white LED lights are given for all of the polar/HPF/pad buttons,  that indicate which option is selected. 

The LCT 640 Buttons 

Another thoughtful part that Lewitt thought of while making this mic, is that the buttons dont create any electronic popping noises in the signal when switching between variegated pattern modes. 

Lewitt LCT 640 Shock-mount 

Lewitts shock-mount is super solid. Essentially, the bungee is tightly woven in, making the mic stay in position once its strapped in. 

Lewitt LCT 640 Features 

1. Dual Output Mode 

The all-new LCT 640 TS microphone provides the possibility similar to that of RAW photography in which a photographer is worldly-wise to transpiration exposure and white wastefulness plane without the picture has been taken. 

Lewitt LCT 640 TS microphone is similar to its younger counterpart/offspring Lewitt 640 except, the TS here stands for twin system. LCT 640 TS provides a signal separately from the front and the when of the capsule. In effect thiwhich helps in capturing the whole session instead of just recording an isolated source like conventional microphones.

2. Customized or one-click 

Plugin your 3-pin XLR as you would do with any other mic and you get a large-diaphragm multi-pattern condenser mic. Comparatively, Plugin the included mini 3-pin XLR and wits all the possibilities of a true next-gen recording microphone.

3. Stereo functionality 

Record stereo with only one LCT 640 TS. Then, just point the side of the microphone to the source! Lewitt 640 TS is a dual sheathing microphone that enables us to record the front and rear sheathing independently via their own separate outputs. Evidently this allows us to transpiration the polar pattern waffly the relative level and polarity of the two output signals.

4. Lewitt POLARIZER plug-in 

Lewitt Polarizer 1.0

Lewitt has moreover created a plugin  POLARIZER which is misogynist for self-ruling download. And the Plugin lets you retread the polar pattern without the recording has been done. Also, We can create unique effects by automating Polarizer. Moreover, this ways that a music producer or engineer has the self-rule of waffly the polar pattern dynamically from five multiple polar patterns (Omni, wide cardioid, cardioid, super-cardioid, and icon of 8) during post-production. It lets you transpiration or fine-tune the polar pattern during post-production, both on PC and Mac. The POLARIZER supports VST, AU, and AAX.

5. Low-Cut filters 

Low-cut filters help you to eliminate low-frequency sounds to recoup for the proximity effect and reduce noise. We have a push sawed-off in the marrow left to transpiration the Low-cut filter settings: linear, 40 Hz (12 dB/oct), 80 Hz (12 dB/oct), 160 Hz (6 dB/oct).

6. Pre-attenuation 

Pre-Attenuation lets you stave clipping when recording very loud sound sources. So Lewitt gives you 4 variegated attenuating options :0db , -6db , -12db , -18db.

7. LCT 640 Key Lock 

We can hold the left push-button for increasingly than 2 seconds to make all the 3 push buttons inactive. This allows all pushbuttons to stay locked until we printing the left sawed-off for 2 seconds again. This lets you stave any endangerment of transpiration in settings while working.

LCT 640 Key Lock map

You might be wondering how you select all these variegated settings plane though the mic has no switches. What Lewitt uses is the backlit interface on the front of the mic which has three push-buttons/pads that are used to switch the Pre-Attenuation, polar-pattern, and low-cut filter. The selected value for each parameter is visible on the panel whilom their mentioned switches. At some point in time, if you overload the mic where it starts clipping the signal, the attenuator will switch automatically to the next highest value, and the previous manually selected attenuator setting will flash.

8. Status Indicator 

If the input signal is very loud signal will clip. For that reason, the Status indicator will zestful us by shimmer red so we can retread the pre-attenuation setting. 

9. Clipping History 

Clipping History makes sure that your microphone has not clipped during recording. 

Holding the high-pass sawed-off for two seconds or increasingly clears the prune history, though it is remembered plane if the mic is unplugged surpassing stuff cleared

10. Perfect Match Technology 

Every single LCT 640 TS undergoes a series of measurements followed by welding of the polarization voltage to unzip exactly the same sensitivity at 1 kHz in every microphone.

LCT 640 User interface 

1. Polar pattern indicator

Use part-way pushbutton to select polar patterns: 
– Omni 
– Wide cardioid
– Cardioid
– Supercardioid
– Figure-8. 

2. Low-cut indicator

Use th Lewitt LCT 640 TS left pushbutton to get rid of unwanted low frequencies and structure-born noise.

3. Lewitt Status indicator 

– Illuminated white: Multi-pattern mode(standard operation) 
– Illuminated green: Dual Output Mode
– Flashing red: Clipping 
– Not illuminated: Key-lock is active. 

4. Pre-attenuation indicator 

Use the right sawed-off to select the pre-attenuation. Essentially, to stave clipping when recording very loud sound sources. 

5. Pushbuttons Key-lock

Hold the left pushbutton for increasingly than 2 seconds. By doing so, all pushbuttons are locked until you printing the left sawed-off for 2 seconds again.

Creating variegated polar patterns manually with the Lewitt LCT 640 TS

Even though you can select a preset polar pattern (if your microphone is set to Multipattern Mode), you can moreover manually transpiration patterns. 
– Record the front and when signal on two variegated channels. 
– Make sure to set the proceeds on both input channels on your preamp to the same value. 
– Set the levels if you capsize the phase on one channel. 

Lewitt LCT 640 TS price: Ranges from INR 75,000 to INR 83,000
