Product Overview

The LC 4 NX is a critical component of the Neumann Open Series modular system. It enables a "split" configuration: you can place the small microphone capsule (KK series) in a tight or visually sensitive spot while keeping the larger output electronics (KM A analog or KM D digital) tucked away. With a diameter of only 3.5 mm, the LC 4 NX is incredibly flexible and lightweight, allowing it to be routed through scenery, along musical instrument stands, or suspended from ceilings with minimal visual impact.
 

Product Description

The Ultimate in Discreet Audio:

In professional television and live concert recording, "less is more" when it comes to visual presence. The LC 4 NX allows you to use Neumann's world-class small-diaphragm capsules without the bulk of a full microphone body. By separating the capsule from the output stage, you achieve a minimalist "pencil-thin" profile that is much easier to hide in a shot or position close to a performer without blocking their face.

Preserving the Neumann Sound:

Neumann engineering ensures that even at a length of 10 meters, there is zero loss in audio quality. The LC 4 NX is built with high-grade shielding to protect the sensitive capsule signal from Electromagnetic Interference (EMI) and Radio Frequency Interference (RFI). Whether you are using the analog KM A or the digital KM D (AES 42) stage, the cable preserves the fast transient response and ultra-low noise floor that professionals demand.

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 that the cable does not catch glares from intense studio or stage lighting. It is also highly durable and scratch-resistant, maintaining its professional appearance through years of heavy use on set.

Modular Versatility:

The LC 4 NX is part of a larger ecosystem. It can be used in combination with KVG capsule extensions, swivel joints, or auditorium hangers (MNV 100). This modularity allows sound engineers to solve complex miking challenges—such as miking a choir from above or a drum kit from within—using a single set of high-quality Neumann components.

Key Features

• 10-Meter Length: Provides ample reach for large studio rooms and overhead miking.

• Ultra-Slim Profile: Only 3.5 mm in diameter for nearly invisible cable runs.

• Nextel Black (NX) Finish: Non-reflective coating optimized for TV and film.

• Universal Modular Fit: Connects all KK capsules to both KM A and KM D stages.

• High-Purity Shielding: Protects the signal from interference over long distances.

• Lightweight & Flexible: Easy to route, hide, and store without kinking.

   

   

Applications

• Television & Film: Hide cables behind scenery or along boom poles for clean shots.

• Orchestral Recording: Use with auditorium hangers for "invisible" overhead miking.

• Theater Sound: Route audio through costumes or stage props with minimal bulk.

• Podiums & Lecterns: Keeps the desktop clean by moving the output stage below the surface.
