LCT 640 Introduction

The product

LCT 640

LEWITT’s LCT 640 is designed to raise the bar in its class of reference-quality large-diaphragm condenser microphones.

This Austrian-designed and engineered pro-mic delivers a smooth, unsurpassably rich and exceptionally nuanced

sound, and exhibits a remarkable set of qualities that enthuses even the most discerning users. The LCT 640 excels in a

variety of demanding studio applications and stands for unrivalled performance in miking lead and background vocals,

drums, percussion instruments, grand pianos, brass and woodwinds, classical music ensembles.

In addition to the standard omni-directional, cardioid and figure-8 polar patterns, the LCT 640 offers a wide-cardioid and

super-cardioid characteristic. It offers a dynamic range of 135 dB and stands out for its extremely low self-noise of 10 dB.

In combination with a 4-level high-pass filter and 4-level switchable pre-attenuation, the LCT 640 provides maximum

versatility in all recording situations. Automatic attenuation, key-lock, clipping history, push buttons and a light-up user

interface round off the features of this outstanding microphone.

Features

·Superior transient response from ultra-thin externally biased, gold-layered low-mass

diaphragms for ear-catching realism and authentic sound

·Flat frequency response for natural, authentic sound

·Five consistent directional characteristics – cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, broad

cardioid and supercardioid – for maximum flexibility in a wide variety of recording applications

·10 dB self-noise and max SPL of 145 dB for an impressive total dynamic range of 135 dB,

providing maximum acoustic presence and clarity

·4-position switchable pre-attenuation pad for handling extremely high sound pressure

levels and 4-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

·Extra-large hexagonal ruthenium-galvanized steel mesh grille provides an open acoustic

environment and prevents unwanted internal reflections

·Immune to electromagnetic interference thanks to transformerless preamplifier circuitry

·Corrosion-resistant gold-plated 3-pin XLR output connector

Status indicator ①

·The microphone is in normal working mode if the status indicator

is illuminated in white.

·The microphone is in key-lock mode if the status indicator is not

illuminated.

·The microphone experiences clipping due to high SPL if the

status indicator flashes in red.

·The microphone is in automatic attenuation mode if the status

indicator is illuminated in red.

·The microphone indicates the clipping history if the status

indicator flashes red and white in an alternating sequence.

Polar pattern indications ②

·The currently active polar pattern setting is illuminated.

Setting the polar pattern

·Five different directivity characteristics omnidirectional, broad

cardioid, cardioid, supercardioid, figure-8 can be set by briefly

pressing the polar pattern push button ③.

–

Setting an attenuation level

⑤

Attenuation levels can be set by briefly pressing the attenuation

push button . Settings are: off, -6 dB, -12 dB and -18 dB.

Attenuation is used in extremely high SPL environments in order

to prevent clipping of the microphone, mixer and other audio

equipment.

Attenuation indications ④

·The currently active attenuation setting is illuminated.

High-pass filter indications ⑥

·The currently active high-pass setting is illuminated.

Setting a high-pass filter

·⑦High-pass filters can be set by briefly pressing the high-pass filter push button . Settings are: Off,

12 dB / octave at 40 Hz and 6 dB / octave at 150 and 300 Hz. High-pass filters eliminate unwanted

low frequency noise such as structure borne noise.

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 ⑤ for 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 1/2 second to adjust to

the new attenuation level.

Key-lock function

The push buttons of the microphone can be locked and unlocked by constantly pressing the polar pattern push button ③ for more than 2

seconds.

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 ⑦ for more than 2 seconds. When in clipping history mode the status indicator ①

flashes red and white in an alternating sequence, the polar pattern indications ② as well as the high-pass indications ⑥ are not illuminated.

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

·The last manually set attenuation level is indicated by a constantly illuminated attenuation LED. If clipping has occurred in the past this

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 ⑦ 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.
