Lewitt LCT140AIRMP Stereo Microphone Pair XLR

The Lewitt LCT 140 AIR Stereo Matched Pair consists of two small-diaphragm condenser microphones precisely selected for near-identical frequency response and sensitivity. This factory matching is critical for stereo recording techniques — whether ORTF, XY, or spaced pair — where even slight differences between capsules can compromise the accuracy of the stereo image. Each microphone features a cardioid polar pattern and connects via standard XLR, requiring phantom power from an external preamp or audio interface.

The defining feature of the LCT 140 AIR is its switchable dual voicing. In FLAT mode, the microphone delivers a neutral, transparent signal that faithfully represents the source, making it ideal for capturing acoustic instruments, strings, and ensembles with minimal coloration. Switching to AIR mode introduces a subtle high-frequency presence lift that adds openness and sheen — a character many engineers would otherwise apply in post-production. The CNC-machined aluminum housing keeps weight low for easy positioning on boom stands and overhead configurations while maintaining the structural integrity needed for daily studio use. Each pair ships with two snap-in mic clips, two windscreens, and a transport bag with individual pockets for safe storage.
