On my list to purchase. I already have a itty-bitty 040s but my plans will need another pair sf SDCs. Give my thanks to Lewitt for the giveaway! Also, I'm pretty sure Steve could sing into a cracker jack box and it would sound fantastic!
Fantastic pair of Mic's, here in the UK only retail at £195....Amazing. Love these reviews Warren, Look forward to Mixing and messing around with the Multi Tracks. All The Best Trev.
with my listening setup, I found it very interesting that I seldomly noticed when going from the flat mix to the air mix, but I feel like I noticed everytime when going from the air to the flat mix. "Oh, something's missing now. Oh right. Flat mix".
OMG!!! The song is sounding great. With the same mic on entirely different sources...Amazing.Loves the way all of performed and the guitar lead along with vocals were dope. Those mics are so good. Loved the song..
Warren, you are just a gem of a human being! I was feeling a bit down and didn't have high hopes for the evening, but your enthusiasm for the sonic arts inspired me to hang up some acoustic treatment and do a drum recording session. Thank you!
I got just one 140 recently, and won’t be recording guitar for a few days(I don’t play guitar - I know, don’t dis me), so I threw it on as a vocal mic, and I was floored. This mic is practically magic! Now, being a small diaphragm condenser, it’s more sensitive to moving around, but, wow, this is a terrific sounding mic. Clean, precise, rich, rich sound. At $160, it’s a crazy value. Lewitt should be very proud of this mic. I predict these mics will become an industry standard. I am definitely gonna be getting their vocal mic
Wow! Nice sounding mics, especially for "entry level". Steve's voice is golden and the whole mix sounds absolutely fantabulous!!! (Glad you found the spelling oopsy) 🌝
Jesus. This song is just perfect in every aspect: performance, production, arrangements, mixing. Makes me wanna buy the damn stereo pair. Thanks to everyone at PLAP.
I know we all use LDC's on lead vocals because "that's what you're supposed to do", but I think SDC's sound great on vocals. I have been using Shure Beta 87s live for a while now, and they sound great!
Hey wonderful mics, but as always I’ve got to say something about the song. Y’all knocked it out the park. Especially with 2 mics being the focus. Very impressive guys. Now I want a pair of the Lewitt’s. Awesome!!
Great sounding mics. The "Air" setting is a little "zizzy" on my very critical monitors, but sound lovely in "Flat" setting. Lovely musicianship, too :-)
Good Gawd! I browsed to this clip to check out the 140’s and within 3 minutes my eyes are welling up, tears eminent, fully immersed in this poignant song…..I mean, it’s just destroying me with its unabashed plea “tell me what’s goin’ on with you”……whew! Powerful! Of course this is the best of all ways to demo mic’s but hey, this music would deliver through the $15 Monarchs we used to buy in ‘65 at the electronics store for our sock hop bands…. Seriously, the mics sound soooo much better than they have a right to….even on vocals…..in both modes….thanks for all you do and for the emo workout this morning……
Gotta love that 13:33 dirty groove face, was exactly the same I was doing hahaha, amazing feel and music! Thanks for the amazing work, Warren :D Cheers from Colombia
i love the fact you advocate LOW COST gear ...as it also stands that great deal of your audience are trying to make music on a shoestring budget ...its very important for me to have gear that is serviceable - but affordable
Wow...this tune just knocked me off my seat. Incredible musical performances from all of you!!!!! Very well recorded. I own some Lewitts and I am a huge fan of their affordability to performance ratio. Highly recommend their mics.
The problem with using Steve for a mic demo is that he sounds so damn good through anything... I have the LCT040 matched pair and I really like them. The 140Air seems like a good upgrade.
Absolutely love those mics. I already use 2 Lewitt 240 LCT Pros. I love them, I use them as Vocal, Acoustic Guitar, and as Room mics. Was actually checking out the Lewitt Matched Pair of LCT 040 Microphones to add to the studio but I might have to break the bank. I have been a fan of Lewitt for 3+ years when I discovered the 240 LCT. I would put it up against the RE20. As you said from the beginning practically zero noise even when peaking. That is when I discovered using them as room mics, they are so clean and clear.
This was a reaction to the Mics but it turned more about the lovely executed vocals ! Oh and for a long long time I wanted to say that the intro music to your channel is wayout ! Tight perfect Mix !
They sound amazing in all the applications you used them in. These would be a great help to get my home studio up and running. Thanks for the video and the chance to win.
And they said the power trio was a thing of the past!! Well now it's back with a vengence. Love it guys, especially with the air mix bringing a little extra sizzle to the outstanding performances. Oh and by the way, The Little Popscreens is a perfect bandname..;-)
“Get Wrecked” I like the sound of these mics the high end “air” is audible. I’m not entirely sure if the mic is grand or the person who produced this is, but either way the mix is really good. Good balance and clarity. I like the background vox., it’s my fav. Cheers.
Iliterally a few hours ago ordered this pair from Thomann! Thank you for confirming my choice! There will be soooo great acoustic sessions for my folk and medieval music projects
The only contest I’m not entering, I already own a pair! I want someone else to get a chance to win a pair of those fantastic mics! Good luck everyone!
Hi great track and review of the 140’s...I have check some other reviews , sporting recordings with these mics and I’m blown away with their performance and versatility over a range of voices and instruments. Stunning value at this price mark...I’ve been looking for work horse mics for creating sample libraries for I while and my quest is over. 🙏🙏🏿👍👏🎩🦄
Ok, to be honest, it doesn`t really matter that much what you use for the recording when you have performers like these guys and a well written song like the one we just heard. The Lewitts are just ok ( but for the their actual price they`re of course amazing). A couple of days ago I got some Shoeps for recording drums & boy oh boy...! Warren, amazing song...!!!
Hi Warren, When following Lewitt via the GiveAway Page, there is „Follow Kali Audio“ written in the Description. I hope that’s no problem for following Lewitt.
These mics (and the performances) sound absolutely amazing. Aside: I noticed after I entered that the tweet generated for the contest entry has the text about the Kali giveaway.
What a amazing vocal perfomance. I just wish there are some less generic lyrics since such a out of world vocal deserves it. I rarely hear such a good voice in modern music.
Great song and great all around performances, a good listen on a rainy afternoon here in the US midwest, really enjoyed it! The mics are very natural sounding. Might be good for solo guitar as well.
Great Video which makes me really seriously considering buying a matched pair of the LCT 140 Air(s). Thanks for the good information! Please allow me a short off topic question: what's the Tele you are playing on the solo? Thanks. Michael.
The Air feature sounds a little bit harsh for my taste 😅 I love the sound of the flat mix. I bought the lewitt 440 pure after watching your review for that mic 💙
I''m impressed with the sound of the 140's. That air give it an extra sheen. I'm curious though, what interface and converter did you use? Very nice song from Steve! Can't wait to see what he'll do with Toto!!! Thanks Warren for sharing...
These are decent budget mics...ive a mate who has tried some of them... I think they are good but for a little extra coin you can get akg range. I think the C1000 and 3000 are better options. I prefer my 414s on most stuff. As in mid-side on acoustic sources.
So Lewett and Austrian Audio have the AKG connection. I didn't know that! It would explain how good they sound. The only one I would probably not use them on would be bass. Of course, I usually record bass direct as opposed to micing the cab. Mostly due to lack of space, and time of day that I usually find myself working on music. What was that T-style guitar you were playing? Hope it becomes Friday's guitar of the week!
These mics sound great, but! How do you think would these sound outside, while recording some atmospheres? Wind, river, some waves near by the lake, some foley.. this is never mentioned in reviews of pencil/small diaphragm microphones - I know how usual shotgun mics sound, but these small ones - not such info anywhere on the internet!
What do you think of Lewitt Audio's LCT 140 Air mic? Comment your thoughts below!
I love my LCT640, superb mic. Seems to be a very good brand

This guys voice is fantastic! Massive tone and EMOTION!

Shoutout to the drummer!!! Great playing. So difficult to make it sound so easy. And what a great tone. I hate to misspell his name. Can anyone help?
Blair Sinta! He’s an amazing Drummer!!
@@Producelikeapro thank you!
I've had my eyes on these for awhile. Seems like a no-brainer, especially for the price. Thanks for another great video, Warren!
Agreed 100%!
Came for the mic review, was blessed with that music oh my GOSH
Thanks ever so much
'Like' for the music & performance. Amazing!
Thanks ever so much!
Great Mics! I was amazed that they even took the Bass and the Vocals so well.
And by the way, why don't we get music like that on the radio any more?

Warren Is Such A Great & Cool Guy, I Always Enjoy Watching Your Videos.
Thanks ever so much
These Lewetts sound excellent. Nice song by the way. Particularly the vocals!
I like my Røde M5 matched pair as another affordable alternative. However they don't have the 3 switches these have.
Gotta love that 13:33 dirty groove face, was exactly the same I was doing hahaha, amazing feel and music! Thanks for the amazing work, Warren :D Cheers from Colombia
Haha busted! Yes, was very happy with groove! Blair is such an amazing player!
I was honestly shopping around for a good matched pair last night, the timing of this video is perfect!
This guys vocals are incredible!!
I listened to the song twice... great tune... great playing... great singing.... so good.
i love the fact you advocate LOW COST gear ...as it also stands that great deal of your audience are trying to make music on a shoestring budget ...its very important for me to have gear that is serviceable - but affordable
Now I bought one mic. It´s my first ever and it sounds great :). Thanks for the recomendation.
I'll happily take a pair and will put them through the paces with all things percussion.
Sweeeet!... one man frickin' Gospel choir... ain't nuthin without the lovely pair of Lewitts though!! 😌👍
Great to watch and hear
Love to hear you work with the amazing
Jack fine great feel touch on guitar
Thanks ever so much
