Lauten Audio LA-220 V2 – Two-Tone FET Studio Microphone

The Lauten Audio LA-220 V2 is a premium FET condenser microphone that offers the best of both worlds — the warmth of classic microphones and the clarity of modern designs. With a simple flip of a switch, the LA-220 V2 allows you to choose between two distinct tones, making it the ideal tool for capturing vocals, instruments, and everything in between, without the need for multiple microphones or complex signal chains.

Engineered to sound great without the traditional high-end signal chains, the LA-220 V2 features a custom-built Lauten Audio capsule and a hand-soldered circuit path. This unique design gives you the classic sound of vintage microphones with the ease of modern digital recording, providing powerful, present sound directly into your audio interface.

Equipped with a hand-tuned 32mm transducer (the same as its larger tube counterpart, the LA-320), the LA-220 V2 naturally imparts gentle compression and balance, making it ideal for a wide range of applications, from vocals to percussion to stringed instruments. The onboard high-cut and low-cut filters allow you to tame bright sources and reduce rumble, ensuring a clean and polished recording every time.
