Lauten Audio LS-308 Large-Diaphragm Side-Address Cardioid Condenser Microphone

SIDE  ADDRESS  CONDENSER

This one-of-a-kind, side-address condenser microphone hears like a laser, sounds like a ribbon, and is able to withstand a staggering 135dB of SPL without internal padding. 

UNMATCHED ISOLATION

270 degrees of off-axis rejection allows you to confidently capture loud, impactful sounds live without the need to replace toms or re-track guitars due to bleed.

DARK BY DESIGN

Creating a microphone with such strong off-axis rejection had a unique timbral side-effect -- a sound similar to a ribbon microphone but without the fragility. 

HIGH SPL & DYNAMIC RANGE

Capable of withstanding a staggering 135dB of SPL without internal padding, the LS-308 is nearly impossible to overload. Capture the loudest sound sources reserved for dynamic microphones with ease.

PREMIUM COMPONENTS

The LS-308 signal path is finalized with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, a US-made low-noise FET, and a custom wound output transformer.

ANALOG SOUND SHAPING

Two dedicated filters allow for immediate sound-shaping right at the source, removing the need to change out microphones in order to get the sound you want.
