Lewitt LCT 540 Subzero

[Ed. Note: Lewitt LCT 540 S is a side-address mic with a cardioid pickup pattern. It has extreme low noise (4 dBA) and extreme high sensitivity at -28 dB. The polar pattern is sufficiently wide to cover an entire hemisphere without notable drop in sensitivity. It would work for a general coverage dry climate microphone even if pricy.

Being non-humidity resistant I can no longer recommend this microphone for outdoor use.]

1" true condenser studio microphone
Ultra-low noise microphone circuit
Fit for extreme processing
Low-cut filters and attenuation
The ultimate low noise / high sensitivity mic if you wish to afford it!

$699

Let the buyer beware: This microphone is not made for outdoor use and is not moisture/humidity resistant. If you live in a dry environment of yourusage is light then this may be a fine solution. At $700 the risk is yours to accept or not.
