The LA-120 by Lauten Audio is a versatile condenser microphone designed for capturing lifelike sound with exceptional clarity. Built around a US-made JFET, it offers configurable sound-shaping capabilities, making it ideal for a wide range of applications including drum overheads, acoustic guitar, and piano.
The LA-120 is a world-class microphone that offers unparalleled configurability and transient response.
The LA-120 features hand-tuned 17mm capsules that provide a musical blend of transient response and natural compression. This makes it an excellent choice for capturing the nuances of drum overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, and piano.
The microphone comes with onboard sound-shaping options that eliminate the need for mic swaps, saving you time and effort. You can easily switch between different sonic textures, from crisp to smooth to ribbon-like, at the flip of a switch.
The LA-120 offers both cardioid and omnidirectional polar patterns. The cardioid pattern focuses the microphone's attention directly where it is pointed, reducing room noise. The omnidirectional pattern captures the sound of a room or off-axis instrumentation naturally and authentically.
The signal path of the LA-120 is populated with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors. This ensures articulate, uncolored, and high-impact performance.
