Lauten Audio LA320V2 Large DiaphTube Condenser Mic

Lauten Audio LA320V2 Large DiaphTube Condenser Mic The Lauten Audio LA-320 is a twin-tone tube microphone that allows you to choose between the warmth and body of a vintage tube microphone and the clarity and presence of a modern tube microphone at the flip of a switch. Classic tube microphones were made for a signal chain that you dont have, so Lauten designed the LA-320 to sound great without it. Centered around a custom-made Lauten Audio capsule and hand-soldered tube circuit path, Lauten's unique microphone design gives you the musical color and gentle compression associated with classic signal chains but straight into your audio interface.
