Description

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.

Lauten Audio

Lauten Audio is represented in the current MicPro catalogue by LA-220 V2, LS-208 and LS-308 microphones. The listed range is relevant to studio condenser, broadcast and instrument microphone choices. When comparing these products, check capsule type, pickup pattern, source, sensitivity, phantom power, off-axis response and mounting. The catalogue spans detailed studio capture and focused spoken-word or instrument work, so the model’s role matters more than the brand name alone. This description is kept catalogue-led, so the individual model listing remains the source for exact specifications, compatibility and included accessories.

Microphones

Microphones convert acoustic sound into an electrical signal for recording, live sound, broadcast, streaming or measurement. This broad category includes dynamic, condenser, ribbon, USB, wireless, boundary, shotgun and instrument-focused designs, each balancing sensitivity, detail, rejection and handling. Compare the source, room, pickup pattern, maximum level, connector, phantom or battery requirements and mounting options before choosing. The most useful microphone is the one that fits the voice or instrument, working distance and signal chain; a prestigious brand or familiar category label cannot replace those practical checks.
