Description
The Micpro team take a look at the Lauten Audio LS-508 Tom Mic by , available in the Uk from a UK supplier & UK Warranty.
Here’s what Lauten Audio say:
Equipped with our newly designed Super-cardioid capsule and dual-bias circuitry, Tom Mic captures pure, high-definition rack and floor tom sonics with maximum impact and tone while minimizing cymbal bleed.
Key features
- Super-cardioid large diaphragm condenser capsule focuses on the source, the drum.
- Circuit designed for high-dynamic range and an output level that melds well with preamps.
- Body designed to allow proper airflow but also reduce frequencies captured by the rear node.
Built for the job
Each Tom Mic has a solid brass headframe and mildew-resistant dust filter to protect against stick hits, dust, and debris.
28dB off-axis rejection
Our bleed-blocking head design and dual-bias circuitry work together to provide Tom Mic with up to 28dB of off-axis rejection. This means crisp, clear tom sounds with far less cymbal bleed than a traditional dynamic or condenser microphone.
Onboard sound shaping
Tom Mic’s filters impact the overall performance of the microphone and play a critical role in its sonic versatility.
