Its aluminum housing is robust and lightweight at the same time. The LCT 140 AIR has a cardioid characteristic and just sounds fantastic. Two Sound Characteristics. Switch between AIR and FLAT.

AIR and FLAT explained
AIR delivers an open, sparkling character. A great choice if you need record ready sound right from the start. You can immediately use and share those recordings without spending any time on post-production.

FLAT provides a linear frequency response for "as-it-is" reproduction of drums, strings, acoustic guitars and choirs. It's a great choice if you aim for highly realistic sonic images. Having both options at hand makes the LCT 140 AIR a highly versatile recording tool.
