Product Description

While emulating classic microphones may appeal to some brands and consumers, Lewitt strive to innovate and create the most versatile and best value-for-money mics available on the market. The LCT 040 MATCH epitomises their approach; a super-affordable small diaphragm condenser microphone that is best-suited for capturing acoustic guitars, drums and percussion. This package includes a matched stereo pair of LCT 040 microphones.

The Lewitt LCT 040 MATCH's incredible price-point makes it ideal for hobbyists that are keen to record at home. However, even professionals can admire its rugged build and impressive sound quality. For example, its housing is constructed from aluminium, making it not just strong but also very lightweight and ergonomic. Its small diaphragm condenser capsule has also been thoughtfully designed, ensuring a well-rounded character with plenty of top-end presence.

This exceptional stereo pair comes with a two-compartment bag, clips and also windscreens if you intend to use them outdoors for live performances.

Here's what Lewitt says about the LCT 040 MATCH Stereo Pair:

Recording acoustic instruments made easy

The LCT 040 MATCH delivers drum and acoustic guitar recordings with excellent sound. The true character of guitars, drums, and percussion is within the transients. The LCT 040 MATCH has excellent transient response to retain the natural musicality of your acoustic instruments. It captures the very essence of your performance. We tailored the small diaphragm capsule to provide you with a professionally refined sound, right from the moment you hit the "record" button; well-balanced and with a pleasant high-end.

Our unique matching process for ultimate consistency

For production, we developed a unique matching process to create perfect couples. This delivers matched stereo pairs with identical frequency curves. You can really count on LCT 040 MATCH for great stereo recordings with absolute precise localization and incredible room impression.

Durable yet lightweight

The LCT 040 MATCH is very durable yet lightweight thanks to its CNC'ed aluminum housing. Together with its space-saving form factor positioning and setup become easy tasks.

What is in the box?

LCT 040 MATCH stereo pair comes with a two-compartment transport bag, clips, and windscreens for outdoor use.

Bought to record acoustic guitar.I am so happy with them, they couldn’t have been easier to set up and while I’m sure I’ve got lots of tweaking ahead of me to perfect the sound, I was up and recording with something that sounded great within minutes.

Mr Mitchell Humphreys29th Jan 2021

Really pleased with this pair of microphones. So far I've used them as drum overheads and the sound is great. Another attribute is that they are very small and light, so they don't upset the balance of a microphone stand with a long boom, even when two are mounted on the same stand. No switchable high pass or pad, which helps to keep the cost down, but I've not missed either so far. I can't compare their sound to a pair of expensive alternatives because I don't have any of those, but there are plenty of good reviews on YouTube.

Used in ORTF configuration and works really well.

Mr Gordon Turner11th Dec 2019

I was really surprised how good these actually were as drum overheads and acoustic guitar micing. No harsh frequencies and a very smooth sound. Excellent value.

The Lewitt LCT 040 Matched Pair mics are completely awesome! The sound quality was incredibly realistic with almost imperceptible noise and required virtually no EQ. Very light too, so the mic stands won't droop! Amazing even at twice this price-point. I'm very impressed and will be buying more Lewitt mics in the future.
