Featuring a custom-designed capsule with instant transient response and acoustically identical matched pairs, they deliver precise, accurate, and immersive stereo sound in a sleek, stripped-back design. ## Description 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. Review: Surprisingly Excellent Microphones! - Wow. These are a nice matched pair of small pencil condenser mics. I have a large collection of mics that range from the $1000-50 range. I had read a review about these mics on another site, and thought for the price they might be nice as a second pair of overhead mics or to use for stereo acoustic guitar takes. I was impressed with these the first time around. Their build quality is very nice, they are exceptionally light but sturdy. No more needing to have a heavy duty boom stand for heavier mics on overhead drums! They sound detailed also. They are not thin or bass heavy or mid scooped. They are very true to sound, with a slight bump in the upper midrange to high frequencies. However, they certainly do not sound thin (which was what I was afraid of before I tried them out). I havent used them as overheads yet, only acoustic guitar, and while they don't beat out some of my other mics for their sound (albeit much more expensive mics), they do sound very very good. Not to mention how lightweight they are and just easy to set up. I would definitely recommend these to anyone. Sweet sounding mic's here! Review: Photos and description inaccurate: single mic, not two - This is a single mic, not a matched pair. I’ve owned the match pair of LCT 40’s for several years now, and it’s been great for live use or as an extra set of SDC’s to have waiting in the wings for studio use, so I decided to order a second pair. Photos and description depict it as the matched set, but it’s just one. Returning. ## Features - Delivers drum and acoustic guitar recordings with excellent sound - Excellent transient response to retain the natural musicality of your acoustic instruments - Captures the very essence of your performance - Tailored the small diaphragm capsule to provide you with a professionally refined sound ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B07MZXKZVG | | Antenna Location | Instrument recordings, Acoustic guitar and drums | | Audible Noise | 20 Decibels | | Audio Sensitivity | 20 Decibels | | Best Sellers Rank | #13,022 in Musical Instruments ( See Top 100 in Musical Instruments ) #140 in Multipurpose Condenser Microphones | | Brand | Lewitt | | Built-In Media | LCT 040 MATCH (2), Microphone Bag, Microphone Clip (2), Windscreen (2) | | Color | Black | | Compatible Devices | Personal Computer, Laptop | | Connectivity Technology | XLR | | Connector Type | XLR | | Customer Reviews | 3.7 out of 5 stars 192 Reviews | | Enclosure Material | 3µm gold-sputtered membrane | | Frequency Response | 20 KHz | | Global Trade Identification Number | 00847986002051, 00847986002075 | | Item Dimensions | 3.3 x 0.94 x 0.94 inches | | Manufacturer | Lewitt Audio | | Mfr Part Number | AMS-LCT-040-MATCH-PAIR | | Microphone Form Factor | Microphone Only | | Model Name | LCT 040 Match Pair | | Model Number | LCT-040-MATCH-PAIR | | Number of Channels | 1 | | Polar Pattern | Unidirectional | | Power Source | Corded Electric | | Recommended Uses For Product | Instrument recordings, Acoustic guitar and drums | | Signal-to-Noise Ratio | 74 dB | | Special Feature | XLR | | UPC | 847986002051 847986002075 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year. | ## Product Details - **Recommended Uses For Product:** Instrument recordings, Acoustic guitar and drums - **Brand:** Lewitt - **Model Name:** LCT 040 Match Pair - **Connectivity Technology:** XLR - **Connector Type:** XLR - **Special Feature:** XLR - **Compatible Devices:** Personal Computer, Laptop - **Color:** Black - **Included Components:** LCT 040 MATCH (2), Microphone Bag, Microphone Clip (2), Windscreen (2) - **Polar Pattern:** Unidirectional ## Images ![LCT040MATCH Small Diaphragm Condenser Mic - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61pmDKumbcL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Surprisingly Excellent Microphones! *by R***D on March 11, 2020* Wow.

Returning. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ These are now the best instrument mics I own. *by C***K on December 7, 2022* At first I wasn't much impressed. But no, it was all mic placement. These are very sensitive and have a very high SPL. I found that for my 'style' of playing they sound best at 12-18 inches from just in front of the bridge and at the neck/body junction. That's what works best for me so far with my Taylor 815 and 414. A classical guitar required a little more distance, about 24 inches. I have about 10 mics from Sure, AKG, and MXL. These win every time. My signal path is directly through a Beheringer UMC404HD into Cubase 12 at 24/48. One thing I have noticed is that they are so sensitive that they pick up the 'Ultra Quiet' computer that drives everything. Pay attention to your environment! A month later: The more I use these the more I like them. They sound completely natural. Flat response and able to handle a wide range of dynamics. For $200 a pair? Do yourself a favor and buy them already. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lewitt LCT 040 Match Stereo Pair Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphones - RØDE Stereo Bar Stereo Spacing Bar of up to 20cm Distance - RØDE WS8 Deluxe Windshield for NT5, NT55 or NT6 --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/137987418-lct040match-small-diaphragm-condenser-mic](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/137987418-lct040match-small-diaphragm-condenser-mic) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-05*
