Lewitt LCT 440 Pure Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic (Matched Pair)

The Lewitt LCT 440 Pure Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic (Matched Pair) delivers two precision-matched cardioid condensers engineered for stereo recording, drum overheads, and room miking. Each mic features a 25.4 mm gold-sputtered Mylar diaphragm with extraordinarily low 7 dB (A) self-noise, making this pair a serious option for capturing quiet sources and natural ambience. The matching process ensures consistent phase coherence and tonal balance across the stereo field, critical for room captures and orchestral positioning. Both microphones handle up to 140 dBSPL at 0.5% THD, covering everything from ribbon-like sensitivity on acoustic guitar to close-miked drum shells. The 87 dB (A) signal-to-noise ratio and 133 dB (A) dynamic range provide headroom for transient-heavy material without compression artefacts. Frequency response spans 20 Hz to 20 kHz with a cardioid polar pattern offering rear rejection. Each mic weighs 310 g in a zinc die-cast body measuring 138 x 52 x 36 mm, terminated with gold-plated 3-pin XLR connectors. Phantom power requirement is standard 48 V, drawing 2.63 mA per microphone.
