The LS-208 by Lauten Audio is a high-fidelity end-address condenser microphone designed for exceptional isolation and dynamic range. Equipped with two dedicated filters for immediate sound-shaping, it is ideal for capturing studio-quality sound in various settings.
The LS-208 is a front-address, large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to meet the rigorous demands of broadcast, studio recording, and live sound reinforcement. It offers a unique blend of features that make it a versatile choice for capturing both voice and instruments.
The LS-208 boasts an ultra-wide dynamic range of 135dB and can handle sound pressure levels up to 135dB without requiring pre-attenuation. This makes it ideal for capturing highly dynamic instruments and environments, without sacrificing sound quality.
The microphone features excellent off-axis sound rejection, making it perfect for focusing on the sound source while minimising background noise. This is particularly useful in lively environments such as live radio broadcasts, podcasts, or multi-instrument recording setups.
The LS-208 is equipped with fully independent, multi-stage high and low-cut filters. These filters allow engineers to balance recordings directly at the microphone, reducing the need for post-production adjustments. The 2-stage low-cut aids in reducing low-end rumble and muddiness, while the 2-stage high-cut helps tame bright instruments and high frequencies.
Constructed from high-quality components, the LS-208 is rugged and hard-wearing. It comes with a range of accessories including a spider shock mount for broadcast applications, a hard mount for tight spots, a foam windscreen to protect against plosives, and a hard transport case for road use.
