Lauten Audio LS408 Snare Mic - FET Condenser Microphone

Lauten Audio LS408 Snare Mic - FET Condenser Microphone

The Lauten Audio Snare Mic is the only purpose-built FET condenser microphone made explicitly for snare drums. It ensures that each snare drum's distinct characteristics, impact, tone, and dynamics are captured with sample-quality sound at the microphone.

Snare Mic’s frequency response, SPL handling, and ultra-high dynamic range are made to ensure chest-pounding fundamental frequencies, tangible timbre, and explosively musical top-end impact with every note. Add on Snare Mic’s ability to reject up to 28dB of off-axis sounds, and you get professional, mix-ready results straight out of the box.

EVERY SNARE EVERY TIME

Snare Mic is not an instrument mic that works on snare drums. It is purpose-built to ensure the best snare drum sound in every situation, regardless of player, snare type, or location.

LAUTEN LINEAGE

Snare Mic’s hand-tuned capsule and dual-bias circuitry are based on the same technologies utilised in Lauten Audio’s award-winning Synergy Series microphones.

MASSIVE SOUND. MINIMIZED BLEED

Snare Mic captures a snare drum's true impact, body, and timbre while rejecting up to 28dB of off-axis sounds. This means clear, mix-ready sonics with optimal phase coherence straight out of the microphone.

ONE AND DONE

A single Snare Mic can replace the traditional multi-mic setup needed to capture the full spectrum of a snare drum. Its 3D sound even lets you hear the bottom snares through the top head when Snare Mic is placed at lower positional angles.

SMALL BUT MIGHTY

At only 4.2 inches, placement on even the most densely populated drum kit becomes effortless, and its vibration-resistant capsule means Snare Mic is ideal for both stand and rim-mounted applications.

MADE FOR REAL-WORLD USE

A solid brass headframe with a mildew-resistant dust filter protects Snare Mic from stick hits, dust, and debris on stage or in the studio.
