The Lewitt LCT 540 S is a large-diaphragm true condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern and a 1-inch capsule. Its selling point is an extremely low self-noise circuit, which lets it capture quiet sources and fine detail without hiss. It has low-cut filters and a pad for loud sources, and it is built to take heavy processing in the mix. It suits detailed vocal and acoustic recording in a treated room; rivals at the same level offer switchable patterns and more character, while the Lewitt trades that for transparency and silence.

Owners and reviewers treat the LCT 540 S as a detail microphone: very quiet, clean and honest, best on voice and acoustic sources. Some find it too neutral for vocals that want color, and note it rewards a quiet room and a good preamp.
The Lewitt LCT 540 S is a 1-inch true condenser studio microphone with a cardioid polar pattern. Its circuit and capsule are designed for very low self-noise. The self-noise is 4 dB (A), and it stays below the hearing threshold across the frequency spectrum.
The microphone has a dynamic range of 132 dB (A). That lets it capture sounds from subtle to loud, and the low self-noise stays inaudible even after heavy compression. It has three attenuation settings (0, -6 and -12 dB) and low-cut filters for shaping the signal.
The enclosure is zinc die cast, and the output is a gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector. It comes with a shock mount, a magnetic pop filter, a foam windscreen, a transport bag and a transport case.
