Introduction

LCT 540

The product

LCT 540

The LCT 540 Authentica exhibits a combination of qualities that will undoubtedly make it a studio favorite among

audio engineers and professional musicians. Designed to complement modern recording techniques and meet the

expectations of ever-demanding sound professionals, this versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone offers

outstanding performance in miking lead vocals, drums and percussion instruments, brass and woodwinds, classical

music ensembles.

The LCT 540’s cardioid 1-inch capsule, enclosed by an extra-large hexagonal grille, captures elaborate,

exceptionally nuanced sonic details and optimizes isolation of the main sound source by rendering off-axis sounds.

The LCT features three levels of attenuation and three switchable high-pass filters, two-color LEDs as well as

pushbuttons for noiseless handling. A dynamic range of 135 dB and an extremely low self-noise of 8 dB round off the

features of this exceptional microphone.

Features

·1-inch dual-system externally biased capsule with an active front and ultra-thin,

gold-layered low-mass diaphragm for superior transient response

·Tailored frequency response for rich and authentic sound onstage or in the studio

·Cardioid polar pattern for effective isolation of the main sound source

·Extremely low self-noise of 8 dB and max SPL of 143 dB for an impressive total

dynamic range of 135 dB providing a maximum of acoustic presence and clarity

·3-position switchable pre-attenuation pad (0 dB, 10 dB, and 20 dB) for handling

extremely high sound pressure levels and 3-position high-pass filter

·Illuminated user interface for quick and easy handling even in dark environments

·Noiseless pushbuttons for quick and easy attenuation and HPF selection

·Clipping history, automatic attenuation and key-lock provide error-free recording

and unparalleled ease of use

·Rugged all-metal construction for reliable performance onstage and in the studio

Setting an attenuation level

·Attenuation levels can be set by briefly pressing the noiseless attenuation

push button ④. Settings are: off, -10 dB and -20 dB. Attenuation is used

in extremely high SPL environments in order to prevent clipping of the

microphone, mixer and other audio equipment.

Setting a high-pass filter

·High-pass filters can be set by briefly pressing the noiseless high-pass filter push button ⑥. Settings are: Off, 12 dB / octave at 40 Hz and

6 dB / octave at 300 Hz. High-pass filters eliminate unwanted low frequency noise such as structure borne noise.

Key-lock function

The noiseless push buttons of the microphone can be locked and unlocked by constantly pressing the key-lock push button ② for more than 2

seconds.

Automatic attenuation function

The microphone will automatically adjust to the next higher attenuation level if it experiences clipping due to a high SPL. The microphone

enters and leaves the automatic attenuation mode by constantly pressing the attenuation push button ④for more than 2 seconds. The

microphone is set to automatic attenuation mode if the status indicator ① is illuminated in red. Please note that the microphone will need

around half a second to adjust to the new attenuation level.

Using the mic

LCT 540

·The last manually set attenuation level is indicated by a constantly illuminated attenuation LED.

·If clipping has occurred in the past the next higher attenuation LED will flash.

·The clipping history information can only be accessed once. Clipping information will be deleted after leaving this mode by constantly

pressing the high-pass push button ⑥ for more than 2 seconds.

·Clipping history information will be deleted once you access the automatic attenuation mode.

·Clipping history information will not be deleted when unplugging the microphone.

Clipping history

Checking the clipping history lets you know if the microphone had experienced clipping in the past.

The microphone displays the clipping history after constantly pressing the high-pass push button ⑥ for more than 2 seconds. When in clipping

history mode the status indicator ① flashes red and white in an alternating sequence the high-pass indications ⑤ are not illuminated. Clipping

history mode provides information and works according to the rules listed below:
