Lauten Audio

Lauten Audio is a boutique, family-owned microphone manufacturer based in Northern California, celebrated for its innovative designs and commitment to high-quality craftsmanship. Founded in 2004, the company specialises in creating original microphones that offer unique sound characteristics, often incorporating features like their proprietary Multi-Voicing™ technology, which allows users to alter the microphone’s tonal profile without external processing.

Among their standout products is the LS-308, a large-diaphragm side-address condenser microphone renowned for its exceptional off-axis rejection and high SPL handling, making it ideal for capturing loud sources in challenging environments. Another notable model is the Clarion FC-357, a tube condenser microphone designed to deliver a vintage warmth and clarity, suitable for vocals and acoustic instruments. Additionally, the Snare Mic is a specialised FET condenser microphone engineered to capture the nuanced sound of snare drums with minimal bleed, offering precise isolation in live and studio settings.
