In the Lineage of the LCT Series, Designed for Versatility
The LCT 140 AIR sits at the core of LEWITT's instrument range. Positioned above entry-level models like the LCT 040 MATCH, it adds essential control tools (high-pass filter and pad) while maintaining the clarity and definition characteristic of LEWITT small diaphragms. Its dual "color" AIR/FLAT makes it a natural choice when you need to quickly switch between a modern, open sound and a faithful, transparent capture.
For Whom and For What Uses?
Ideal for demanding home studio users as well as sound engineers, the LCT 140 AIR excels on acoustic guitars, strings, percussion, drum overheads, and choirs. In matched stereo pairs, it offers precise imaging for ensemble recordings, pianos, and ambiances, whether in the studio, rehearsal, or live capture.
Key Features for Fast and Controlled Recordings
Two Voices, One Solution
The "AIR" mode provides an open and sparkling brightness without the need for post-production, perfect for highlighting detail in recordings. The "FLAT" mode delivers a linear frequency response, ensuring a natural and realistic reproduction of acoustic sources.
Preserved Transients, Easier Mixing
The small diaphragm of the LCT 140 AIR accurately captures attack and micro-dynamics. You get tracks that sit easily in the mix, with clear contours and a coherent image.
Integrated High-Pass Filter and Pad
The 80 Hz high-pass filter (12 dB/oct) effectively cleans up rumble and handling noise. The -12 dB pad secures your recordings on high-level sources, preserving signal integrity at the preamp input.
Exceptional Stereo Matching
LEWITT meticulously measures the response and sensitivity of each capsule to create stereo pairs with imperceptible tolerances. The result: exemplary phase coherence and a stable image, even in close configurations.

Questions frequently asked
Lewitt LCT 140 Air MP: Is the pair suitable for stereo recording?
The two microphones are matched by measuring their frequency response and sensitivity. This selection ensures a stable stereo image and coherent phase, particularly for piano, ensembles, and ambient recordings.
What is the difference between AIR and FLAT modes?
The AIR mode enhances openness and brightness in the capture. The FLAT mode offers a more linear response for natural acoustic source reproduction.
Is the -12 dB pad intended for drum recording?
The -12 dB pad allows handling high-level sources before the preamp input. With a maximum SPL of 135 dB at 0.5% THD, this microphone is suitable especially for drum overheads and percussion. The pad helps preserve signal integrity under these conditions.
Is the low-cut filter of the LCT 140 AIR adjustable?
A fixed low-cut filter at 80 Hz with a 12 dB/octave slope reduces rumble and handling noise.
What accessories are included with the pair?
The package includes mic clips, windshields, and a carrying bag. Each microphone measures 24 x 140 mm and weighs 66 g.
