Lewitt LCT 140 AIR Cardioid Condenser Instrument Microphone

The Lewitt LCT 140 Air features a small diaphragm condenser capsule Lewitt have designed for professional instrument recording. Use the AIR and FLAT sound characteristics to record the source the way you want. Pre-attenuation pad and low-cut filter complete the package. With its superior transient response, the LCT 140 AIR provides high clarity for your recordings of guitar, drums, strings or other acoustic instruments. Its aluminum housing is robust and lightweight at the same time. The LCT 140 AIR has a cardioid characteristic and just sounds fantastic.

The low-cut filter minimizes structure-borne noise and low-frequency rumble. Use the pre-attenuation pad, if you want to record high SPL instruments.

The LCT 140 AIR is very durable yet lightweight thanks to its CNC'ed aluminum housing. Even difficult positioning becomes an easy task for you.

AIR and FLAT explained

AIR delivers an open, sparkling character. A great choice if you need record ready sound right from the start. You can immediately use and share those recordings without spending any time on post-production.

FLAT provides a linear frequency response for “as-it-is” reproduction of drums, strings, acoustic guitars, and choirs. It's a great choice if you aim for highly realistic sonic images. Having both options at hand makes the LCT 140 AIR a highly versatile recording tool.
