Lauten Audio LS-308 – Dual-Gradient Condenser Microphone
The Lauten Audio LS-308 is an innovative side-address condenser microphone designed for professional engineers and producers who require exceptional isolation and dynamic range in challenging recording environments. Known for its precision and clarity, the LS-308 is ideal for capturing high SPL sources in situations where typical microphones struggle with isolation. Whether you’re tracking electric guitars in front of a live drum kit or capturing the bottom of a snare drum, the LS-308 excels at preserving clarity and detail with astonishing isolation.
Utilizing a dual-gradient condenser design, the LS-308 features a second-order cardioid polar pattern with 270° side/rear rejection, making it uniquely capable of isolating sound sources from unwanted noise and bleed. Its dual-large diaphragm provides the sonic characteristics of ribbon microphones, offering a smooth, natural sound with a rich midrange, all while withstanding up to 135 dB SPL without internal padding.
The microphone also features dual low-cut filters (50Hz, 120Hz) for handling unwanted low-end rumble or proximity effect. With a sensitivity of 10.5mV/Pa (-40dB) and a self-noise of only 15 dB A-weighted, the LS-308 delivers clear and transparent recordings with minimal distortion, even at high SPL levels.
The Lauten Audio LS-308 includes a windscreen, mic mount, and flight case, ensuring safe transport and optimal setup for on-the-go recording and studio use. Powered by 48V phantom power, the LS-308 is a reliable, versatile tool for any professional studio.
