General

Lewitt's LCT 450 is following in the footsteps of its big brother, the LCT 540. This means you can expect the same high-end characteristics of this more expensive series, like automatic damping, protection against clipping and an illuminated LCD display to help you see what you're doing in darker environments. What's more, the LCT 450 has the same housing as the LCT 240, which means it won't be too dominant when in use as an overhead on stage. Any studio professional is sure to appreciate this mic's attractive appearance that directly reflects its impressive technology.

LCT 450 large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone

For the LCT 450, Lewitt integrated the more expensive capsule from the LCT 540, thus offering a more natural, authentic sound with a first-class transient response thanks to an ultra-thin, gold-layered, low-mass 1-inch diaphragm. Furthermore, its cardioid pickup pattern ensures that ambient sound from the back of the mic is countered on stage as well as in the studio. With two-step switchable pre-attenuation, the LCT 450 can reach an ear-splitting maximum SPL of 158 dB at 20dB damping. Two low-cut settings help suppress unwanted low frequencies like wind and footsteps.

The brand Lewitt

This Vienna-based microphone company stands for high-quality mics, designed to reproduce an authentic, pure sound and memorable recordings. Lewitt's microphones comply with the highest standards of audio professionals who expect unsurpassed audio performance in both live and studio applications.
