Recording with the LCT 640 TS will offer you a level of flexibility you wouldn’t have guessed being possible. There are certain developments that fundamentally changed the way how things are being done – Think of the difference of digital photography and analogue photography, or compare the jpg compression with the possibilities the open RAW standard brought, enabling the photographer to change exposure and white balance after the picture has been already taken. The LCT 640 TS provides such a possibility, but now, for music production. Using both outputs of the LCT 640 TS while recording is like capturing the whole session instead of just recording an isolated source. It adds the freedom of changing the polar pattern dynamically from cardioid all the way to figure-8 during post-production. In fact, while mixing your track, you could still turn your microphone by 180° although you finished your recording days ago. And we haven’t even touched all the possibilities of two LCT 640 TS in a stereo-stereo setup ... You see, recording with the LCT 640 TS can be different than using any other large-diaphragm condenser microphone: Record now, decide later.
