Frequency response

Angle
Distance

Frequency response: from the manual, p. 10. "Figure 9.1 - Frequency response of the LCT 440 PURE"; relative dB. Distance and smoothing not stated; the specs page says the microphones are measured according to IEC 60268-4.

Dashed: outside the rated range, or simulated (other angles and distances). Hover or tap the graphs for values.

Polar pattern

Polar pattern: from the manual, p. 10. "Figure 9.2 - Polar graph of the LCT 440 PURE"; eight frequencies, 125 Hz to 16 kHz; rings labelled "0" and "-10", 5 dB apart.
