Lauten Audio LS308 - Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Lauten Audio LS308 Noise-Rejecting, Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
The Lauten Audio LS308 is a one-of-a-kind, side-address condenser microphone which hears like a laser, sounds like a ribbon, and is able to withstand a staggering 135dB of SPL without internal padding.
UNMATCHED ISOLATION
270 degrees of off-axis rejection allows you to confidently capture loud, impactful sounds live without the need to replace toms or re-track guitars due to bleed.
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.
HIGH SPL & DYNAMIC RANGE
Capable of withstanding a staggering 135dB of SPL without internal padding, the LS-308 is nearly impossible to overload. Capture the loudest sound sources reserved for dynamic microphones with ease.
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.
