SKU: LAU-LA-320-V2
The Lauten Audio LA-320 is a twin-tone valve microphone that allows you to choose between the warmth and body of a vintage tube microphone - and the clarity and presence of a modern tube mic - at the flip of a switch.
Classic tube microphones were often designed to be used with expensive signal chains that most musicians and producers simply won’t have access to – with this in mind, Lauten have specifically designed the LA-320 to sound great out of the box, without the need for any high-end mixing consoles or boutique microphone preamps!
Centered around a custom-made Lauten Audio capsule and hand-soldered tube circuit path, Lauten’s unique microphone design gives you the musical colour and gentle compression associated with classic signal chains straight into your audio interface.
Who are Lauten Audio?
Lauten Audio is a family-owned manufacturer of boutique, premium condenser microphones, designed and tested in sunny California (USA).
From the legendary Signature Series and the highly-flexible Series Black; to the hyper-rejective Synergy Series and bespoke Drum Series; each microphone combines Lauten's trademark sonics with problem-solving features for studio recording and live sound: precision-crafted capsules, unique multi-voicing, built-in high- and low-pass filters, and ultra-high dynamic range.
Lauten Audio Microphones continue to carve out a unique niche for recording engineers, musicians and podcasters seeking original, inspiring microphones with a unique sound, and have featured on records from the likes of Foo Fighters, Cardi B and Snarky Puppy.
Get your recording right first time with the LA-320’s built-in high- and low-pass filters (HP: Flat / 120 Hz, LP: Flat / 12 kHz), cutting out low-end rumble and taming harsh treble frequencies, reducing the need to apply EQ from your DAW or mixing console.
Key Features:
- Inside Story:
The LA-320 is hand-soldered with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, a dual triode vacuum tube, and a vintage-inspired output transformer. - Custom Capsule:
Unlike classic capsule designs, their newly improved, hand-tuned 32mm transducer naturally imparts gentle compression and balance to any sound source, making it ideal for use on traditionally troublesome applications. This means getting a great recording in the real world is faster and easier. - In the box:
Everything you need to get started, shock mount, 5 pin cable, power supply and importantly the microphone!
