Lauten Audio LA-120 V2 (Pair) Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone (pair)

Lauten Audio LA-120 V2 Microphones (Pair)The LA-120 is a 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.Ideal For Use On:Drum OverheadsAcoustic GuitarPianoStringed InstrumentsChoirMore Than Meets The EyeThe LA-120's onboard sound-shaping eliminates the need for mic swaps and wasted time. Jump from crisp to smooth to ribbon-like sonics at the flip of a switch. Take the edge off harsh overheads, or warm up a bright piano. Add picking articulation to an acoustic guitar or perfectly capture a string quartet, all at the flip of a switch.Custom CapsulesLauten's hand-tuned 17mm capsules provide transparent, lifelike sound with a musical blend of transient response and natural compression. This makes the LA-120 an ideal choice for use on drum overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, and piano. Omni & Cardioid Polar PatternsCardioid capsules will focus each microphone's attention directly to where it is pointed, reducing the overall sound of a room in a recording. Omnidirectional capsules allow the sound of a room or other off-axis instrumentation to be captured naturally and with uncoloured authenticity.Transformerless TransparencyThe 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 (Optional Extra)We 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 like toms, snare drums, and more.Designed & Tested In Silicon Valley, CaliforniaEach LA-120 is lovingly designed and built to last a lifetime by the Lauten Audio family.Highlights* Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphone Pair* Ultra-low-noise USA JFET for superior solid-state sound* World-Class Configurability And Transient Response* Interchangeable cardioid and omni-directional capsules* 50 and 150Hz low-cut & 10 and 15kHz high-cut filters* Optional: 10dB Pads* Designed and tested in California, USATechnical Specifications* Type: Transformerless condenser* Capsule: 17mm pressure gradient* Polar Patterns: Cardioid & Omnidirectional* Freq.
