Product Overview

The LC 4 NX is a cornerstone of the modular Neumann Open Series system. It allows for a "split" configuration where you can place the small microphone capsule (KK series) precisely at the sound source while keeping the larger output electronics (KM A analog or KM D digital) tucked out of sight. With a diameter of only 3.5 mm, this cable is incredibly flexible and lightweight, ensuring that your microphone setup remains as unobtrusive as possible on camera or stage.

Product Description

Sleek and Discreet Audio Solutions:

In modern broadcasting and high-end live recording, visual presence is everything. The LC 4 NX (5 m) provides enough reach for most desktop and stand-mounted applications. By detaching the capsule from the output stage, you achieve an elegant "pencil-thin" profile that captures world-class audio without blocking the audience’s view or causing distracting glares on screen.

Uncompromising Audio Performance:

Neumann engineering ensures that splitting the capsule from the electronics does not compromise the "Neumann Sound." The LC 4 NX features high-purity internal conductors and superior shielding to protect the sensitive signal from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). This ensures that the fast transient response and low-noise floor of the KM A/D system are preserved perfectly.

Nextel Black "Camera-Ready" Finish:

The "NX" designation indicates the use of Neumann's specialized Nextel Black coating. This finish is deeply matte and non-reflective, ensuring the cable does not create hot spots or reflections under intense studio or stage lighting. It is also highly resistant to scratches and provides a premium, high-end feel for professional environments.

Modular Versatility:

The LC 4 NX is designed for a perfect fit within the Neumann ecosystem. It can be used directly between a capsule and output stage, or in combination with KVG capsule extensions and swivel joints. This modularity allows sound engineers to solve unique miking challenges—such as miking a grand piano or a solo orator—with a single, high-quality set of components.
