Description
The Lauten Audio LS308 Condenser Microphone is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.
The Lauten Audio LS-308 is a unique studio and live audio problem solver – a microphone designed specifically for when isolation is needed, but difficult to achieve.
This one-of-a-kind, side address condenser microphone hears like a laser, sounds like a ribbon, and is able to withstand a staggering 135dB of SPL without internal padding.
Track electric guitars in front of a live drum kit; capture the bottom of a snare drum with astonishing dynamics and isolation; and make high-quality recordings even in small, boxy rooms and other less than ideal recording spaces.
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 LS-308’s built-in high- and low-pass filters (HP: Flat / 50 Hz / 120 Hz, LP: Flat / 8 kHz / 10 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:
- Analogue Sound Shaping:
Two dedicated filters allow for immediate sound-shaping right at the source, removing the need to change out microphones in order to get the sound you want. - Premium Components:
The LS-308 signal path is finalized with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, a US-made low-noise FET, and a custom wound output transformer. - Dark by Design:
Creating a microphone with such strong off-axis rejection had a unique timbral side-effect — a sound similar to a ribbon microphone but without the fragility.
