More than meets the eye. LA-120's onboard sound shaping eliminates the need to change microphones and waste time. Jump from crisp to smooth to ribbon-like with a simple switch. Take the edge off harsh overheads or warm up a bright piano. Add picking articulation to an acoustic guitar or perfectly capture a string quartet.
Custom Capsule Our hand-tuned 17mm capsule delivers transparent, lively sound with a musical blend of transient response and natural compression. This makes the LA-120 ideal for use with drum overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, and piano.
OMNI & Cardioid Polar Pattern Cardioid capsules focus each microphone's attention directly where it points, reducing the overall sound of the room during recording. The omnidirectional capsule naturally captures room sounds and other off-axis instrumentation, delivering colorless authenticity.
Transformer-less and transparent The LA-120 signal path is hand-embedded with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, built around American-made JFETs, and is articulated, colorless, and shock-resistant. Demonstrates performance.
High SPL Assist (Optional) We designed the LA-120 to be great in many applications, but we recommend using it loud. An optional inline pad allows you to take full advantage of the LA-120s' dynamic range and depth with high SPL sources such as toms and snare drums.
This SDC pair offers performance, versatility, and value. With a transformerless design, the Lauten Audio LA-120 V2 pair offers world-class clarity and exceptional sonic flexibility thanks to an onboard frequency shaping filter. This small diaphragm condenser microphone pair boasts a hand-tuned 17 mm capsule to produce realistic sound with exceptional transient response. The LA-120 V2 pair also includes interchangeable cardioid and omnicapsules, allowing you to tune the mic to suit your individual application. This pair is ideal for capturing fast transients from acoustic guitars, strings, brass, percussion, and many other sources. — they also perform as drum overheads. At GearNuts, we found this Lauten Audio LA-120 V2 microphone set to be ideal for spaced pair, XY, and ORTF stereo microphone techniques. Independent Frequency Shaping Filter GearNuts engineers have developed an independent dual stage
I highly value the giro-pass filter and high-pass filter.
