Product Description
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 Snare Mic’s built-in high- and low-pass filters (HP: Flat / 80 Hz / 140 Hz, LP: Flat / 5 kHz / 12 kHz), cutting out low-end rumble and taming harsh treble frequencies, reducing the need to apply EQ from your DAW or mixing console.
Snare drums are the lifeblood of music. The materials, tuning, and way they are played tell us exactly how and what we should feel about a composition. Snare drums should be honoured, but instead, they are often poorly recorded, heavily manipulated, or replaced entirely for various reasons.
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.
Key Features:
- Onboard Sound Shaping:
Snare Mic’s filters differ from those found on a mixing console, preamp, or DAW. Their impact on sonics and overall performance is much more significant than the labelling may lead you to believe. - 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. - 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.
