Description

Edit description

The Atlantis provides a dynamic and versatile wealth of sound that makes picking the right microphone for even the most troublesome sources as easy as flipping a switch.

MULTI-VOICING®

CHANGE MICROPHONES WITHOUT CHANGING MICROPHONES

Forward is bold, present and modern, but never harsh.
Neutral is smooth and earthy with a natural balancing of sibilant sounds.
Gentle is dark and sultry with a warm vintage feel, ideal for taming bright or abrasive sound sources.

ONE OF A KIND CAPSULE

Our precision-crafted 38mm capsule is one of the largest in the world -- a one of a kind super-transducer designed in Silicon Valley and tuned by hand to capture the spirit, soul, and wonder of a performance.

THREE POLAR PATTERNS

EACH SELECTION DETERMINES WHAT THE ATLANTIS HEARS

Figure-8 captures sound equally from the front and back of the microphone for a more open, natural recording.
Cardioid captures sound from the front of the microphone only. This is the most commonly used polar pattern for recording vocals with minimal room reflections.
Omnidirectional captures sound equally from all sides of the microphone for authentic, "in-the-room" instrument and vocal recordings.

PREMIUM COMPONENTS

The Atlantis signal path is populated with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors, a US-made low-noise FET, and a custom-wound output transformer that puts the finishing touches on every sound that passes through its copper windings.

THREE-WAY GAIN STAGING

MUCH MORE THAN JUST A PAD

+10dB is ideal for use with quiet sound sources and consumer-grade audio interfaces.
0dB sets the output of the Atlantis to its default output gain selection.
-10dB is useful when more color and saturation from a high-end preamp is desired.

Critic Reviews

Lauten Audio: FC-387 Atlantis condenser mic | Tape Op Magazine | Longform candid interviews with music producers and audio engineers covering mixing, mastering, recording and music production.

tapeop.com

The Lauten Audio FC-387 Atlantis shines as a versatile, multi-pattern condenser mic that delivers a natural sound without the harshness often associated with digital recordings. Its unique voicing switch and gain/pad feature allow for creative overdriving of preamps, enhancing tonal character in a way that’s both addictive and rewarding. Singers love its clarity and proximity control, making it a standout for vocal recording. However, while the mic excels in many areas, some may find its price tag of $1499 a barrier. Still, if you're serious about capturing high-quality sound, the Atlantis could very well become your go-to mic.

Lauten Audio Atlantis

soundonsound.com

The Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387 is a heavyweight contender in the microphone arena, boasting an impressive multi-pattern design and a unique voicing switch that offers three distinct tonal characters—Forward, Neutral, and Gentle. This versatility allows it to shine in various applications, particularly vocals, with a rich sound that cuts through mixes without harshness. However, its substantial weight necessitates a sturdy stand, and the loud clicks when toggling settings can be distracting. Despite these drawbacks, the Atlantis delivers a tailored sound that enhances recordings, making it a compelling choice for serious recording artists.

Review: Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387 — AudioTechnology

audiotechnology.com

The Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387 is a heavyweight contender in the FET condenser mic arena, boasting impressive versatility with three distinct tonal voicings and a robust presence that enhances any recording. Musicians will appreciate its rich, characterful sound, especially on challenging instruments like double bass or vocals, where it excels. However, the mic's substantial size necessitates a heavy-duty stand, which could deter some users. While it may not fit into compact spaces, its sonic capabilities and thoughtful design make it a valuable studio companion. In the end, the Atlantis FC-387 proves itself as an indispensable tool for those looking to elevate their recordings.

Lauten Audio’s Atlantis FC-387 microphones were also used to record acoustic guitars in combination with vintage microphones.

Sound on Sound

Since I had little info about the place before I showed up, I had decided to plan ahead and bring some of my own stuff just in case. I brought my Lauten Eden prototype and a couple of Lauten Atlantis mics, a Dangerous compressor, BAX EQ and Source, three pairs of Focal Spirit Pro headphones so we could all listen to the same thing when tracking and a Universal Audio Apollo Twin just in case. We ended up using all of it. Including the Twin.
