Lewitt LCT 040 MATCH Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The LCT 040 MATCH is the compact end of the Lewitt pencil condenser line, 83 mm long and 44.6 g, which makes it easy to fit under a hi-hat, inside a piano lid, or on a lightweight overhead stand. Every unit is produced to a tight tolerance so any two behave as a matched pair, which is why the stereo option costs exactly twice the single rather than carrying a matching premium.

The fixed cardioid capsule takes 135 dBSPL at 0.5% THD with a 115 dB(A) dynamic range, covering drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and room ambience. Output is a gold-plated 3-pin XLR at 203 ohm. Each microphone comes with a foam windscreen, clip, and transport bag.
