Lauten Audio LA-120 V1 Small-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones, Pair

Instead of utilizing a transformer to add saturation its sound, the Lauten Audio LA-120 small-diaphragm condenser microphone is built around a low noise USA-made JFET which allows it to capture the transient dynamics and true character of a sound source with realism and authenticity.

QUALITY CAPSULES

The capsule of a microphone captures music's most meaningful moments and converts them into electricity with relentless results. The LA-120's 17mm capsule provides a modern, vibrant timbre without the harshness often found in affordable microphone designs. This makes it an ideal choice for use on drums, acoustic guitar and paino.

OMNI AND CARDIOID CAPSULES IN THE BOX

Polar patterns have a significant impact on the sound of a microphone because each selection determines what the microphone hears. Cardioid capsules will focus each microphone's attention directly to where it is pointed, reducing the overall sound of a room in a recording. Omnidirectional capsules allow the sound of a room or other off-axis instrumentation to be captured in a more open, natural or authentic way.

ONBOARD SOUND SHAPING

Immediate analog sound-shaping comes courtesy of the LA-120's two onboard filters. This allows you to shape sounds at the source, removing the need to change microphones to get the sound you want.
