Your mic for both, realistic and sparkling sound. Do you prefer your instrument sounding 100% natural or rather have some sparkle on top? The LCT 140 AIR can do both. It features two sound characteristics, AIR, and FLAT. You can easily switch to the sound that fits your purpose. AIR adds top-end sparkle, while FLAT reproduces your sound as it is. Try both and capture the performance the way you want. Two switchable sound characteristics AIR or FLAT? Record the source the way you want. AIR delivers an open, sparkling character. The right choice if you need great sound without spending time on post-production. FLAT provides a linear frequency response for “as-it-is” reproduction of drums, strings, acoustic guitars, and choirs. It is perfect if you aim for realistic sonic images.

The LCT 140 AIR is very durable yet lightweight thanks to its CNC’ed aluminum housing. Positioning and setup become easy tasks. Cardioid polar pattern Your instrument’s sound gets the right focus.

By positioning the mic away from potential sources of bleed or noise, your instrument will stay in focus.
