Product Description
The Lauten Audio LA-120s are a pair of transformerless condenser microphone with world-class transparency and sonic flexibility.
This uniquely configurable design is equipped with analogue sound-shaping onboard, and includes interchangeable Cardioid and Omni capsules for added flexibility.
Unlike traditional microphone designs that utilize a transformer to introduce colour and saturation, the LA-120 is built around a US-made JFET to capture the vibrance and character of a sound with unprecedented realism and authenticity.
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 LA-120’s built-in high- and low-pass filters (HP: Flat / 50 Hz / 150 Hz, LP: Flat / 10 kHz / 15 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:
- Omni and Cardioid polar patterns:
Best of two worlds, cardioid will allow you to record material that it’s directly pointed towards, need something that’s going to pick up more of a room or atmosphere? Switch it Omni and you’ll record everything around the mic. - Transformerless transparency:
The LA-120 signal path is hand-populated with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, built around a US-made JFET for articulate, uncoloured, and high-impact performance. - High SPL Assistance:
They designed the LA-120s to excel in numerous applications, but you may want to use them on something extra loud. The optional in-line pads allow the LA-120s dynamic range and depth to be fully utilized on high SPL sound sources.
