LCT 140
Small diaphragm for big recordings
The LCT 140 is an extremely versatile, easy-to-use, compact 2/3" back-electret condenser microphone that is perfectly suited for quality-conscious users. Its low-mass diaphragm delivers an exceptionally clear and natural sound, making it the perfect fit for acoustic instruments including drums and percussion. The LCT 140's uniform cardioid pickup pattern effectively suppresses off-axis sound. Its linear frequency response and high dynamic range result in transparent and distortion-free sound recordings. The LED display can optionally be switched on and off for better handling in different environments. In short, the LCT 140 is an extremely versatile all-round microphone.

I have a cm3 that is used solo for acoustic guitar and (taped to a beta 87c for vocals. and it sounds great although a bit quiet. I was hoping the cm4 had a bass roll off switch. I may have to try the Lewitt lct140 air.
...the pizzas!) and reporting their findings. If the OP were to post their own original sample WAVS of a Lewitt LCT 140 in action vs say a Neumann TLM170 and conclude that they can't hear a difference then that might be worth listening to and discussing but no, all we get is the playground...
Old thread but the first version of the LCT 140 is awesome, it takes 143 dB of SPL which is crazy! I'm using two of them on snare (top & bottom) and it's the only condenser I've tried on really loud snares that won't crap out or forces you to use a pad, it...
