Lewitt LCT 140 AIR Microphone - Instrument - Black

Lewitt LCT 140 AIR Instrument Microphone - Black is a compact, battery-powered instrument microphone designed for clear, reliable capture of acoustic and amplified instruments.

This Lewitt LCT 140 AIR features a gold/Mylar diaphragm with a 1.7 cm diameter that delivers a smooth response and high sensitivity of 14.6 mV/Pa at 1 kHz, making it excellent for detailed instrument reproduction.

With a microphone dynamic range of 115 dB and a maximum sound pressure level of 135 dB (1 kHz), the LCT 140 AIR handles quiet passages and loud transients with ease. Self noise is rated at 20 dB, and there is a -12 dB preattenuation pad for added headroom when recording louder sources.

Connectivity is simple and robust via a wired XLR-3 interface, and the microphone operates on 48 V phantom power while drawing only 7.2 mA. It can also be battery-powered for flexible setup options on stage or in the studio.

The microphone’s physical design is compact and lightweight at 140 mm height, 2.4 cm diameter, and 66 g weight, finished in an unobtrusive black color. Its 173 Ω input impedance helps ensure compatibility with a wide range of preamps and mixers.

Included accessories such as a windscreen and carrying case make the LCT 140 AIR ready for mobile use, rehearsals, and live performance. The unit ships as a single piece and is easy to position on stands or clips for instrument miking.

Typical use cases include close-miking acoustic guitars, percussion, brass, woodwinds, and guitar cabinets where a natural, detailed sound is desired. Its high SPL tolerance and preattenuation pad also make it suitable for louder instruments like snares or amps.

Key selling points: compact, battery/phantom-powered flexibility, gold/Mylar diaphragm for clarity, high SPL capability, and included windscreen and carrying case for on-the-go reliability.
