Lauten Audio LS508 Tom Mic - FET Condenser Microphone

Lauten Audio LS508 Tom Mic - FET Condenser Microphone

The Lauten Audio Tom Mic is the world’s first large diaphragm condenser microphone custom-crafted for use on toms.

Equipped with Lauten Audio’s newly designed Supercardioid capsule and award-winning dual-bias circuitry, Tom Mic captures pure, high-definition rack and floor tom sonics with maximum impact and tone while minimizing cymbal bleed.

In addition to its tom-tailored frequency response, Tom Mic also features onboard analog sound-shaping, which allows you to musically rebalance the attack and body of any tom on any drum kit at the flip of a switch.

FIND YOUR PLACE

Because of its unique design, Tom Mic is ideal for a wide array of placement positions while minimizing off-axis sounds. From the slap and isolation of proximity to the lifelike sonics of separation, each placement position offers a wealth of new sonic possibilities. It’s even great on resonant heads as well.

SKIP THE EQ

Tom Mic’s tom-tailored frequency response captures each rack and floor tom with drummer-perspective speed, power, and tone, making EQ an afterthought rather than a must-have.

TOMS, NOT CYMBALS

Lauten Audio’s 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.

SUPER-POWERED

Whether stand or rim-mounted, Tom Mic’s newly designed Supercardioid capsule is hand-tuned and vibration-resistant to ensure a powerful balance of transient, body, and tone while minimising inharmonic overtones from neighboring drums and tuning inconsistencies.

BUILT TO WORK

Each Tom Mic has a solid brass headframe and mildew-resistant dust filter to protect against stick hits, dust, and debris, whether in the studio or on stage.
