Description

Discover the Lauten Audio LA-120, a small-diaphragm condenser microphone that epitomizes clarity and authenticity in every recording. Eschewing the traditional use of a transformer, the LA-120 is designed around a low noise USA-made JFET, ensuring that every subtle nuance and dynamic of your sound source is captured with unparalleled realism. Whether you're recording in a studio or capturing live performances, this microphone is engineered to deliver the true character of the instrument or voice, without compromise.

The LA-120 sets itself apart with its versatile design, featuring interchangeable cardioid and omnidirectional capsules that adapt to your recording needs. These capsules allow for precise sound capture, whether you're aiming for a direct, focused sound or a more ambient, room-filling quality. Additionally, the LA-120 comes equipped with onboard sound-shaping filters, enabling you to sculpt your sound at the source. This feature eliminates the need for post-recording adjustments, letting you achieve the perfect tone right off the bat.

Designed by the innovative minds at Lauten Audio in Silicon Valley, CA, the LA-120 is not just a microphone but a testament to high-quality, thoughtful audio engineering. Its premium components, including high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, ensure a dynamic, articulate, and uncolored performance. Whether you're recording drums, acoustic guitar, or piano, the LA-120's 17mm capsule delivers a modern, vibrant timbre, free from the harshness typically associated with affordable microphone designs.

  • Built around a low noise USA-made JFET for authentic sound capture
