Lauten Audio LA-320 V2 – Twin-Tone Tube Microphone
The Lauten Audio LA-320 V2 is a revolutionary twin-tone tube condenser microphone designed to give you the best of both vintage and modern sound. Whether you’re looking for the warmth and body of a classic tube microphone or the clarity and presence of a contemporary model, the LA-320 V2 lets you switch between the two at the flip of a switch, making it an incredibly versatile tool for any recording studio.
Unlike traditional tube microphones that require an extensive signal chain to sound their best, the LA-320 V2 has been engineered to deliver powerful, musical sound straight into your audio interface. Featuring a custom-built 32mm transducer and a hand-soldered tube circuit, the LA-320 V2 offers the gentle compression and balanced tone associated with vintage microphones, all in a modern, user-friendly design.
Each LA-320 V2 is crafted with high-quality components to ensure long-lasting performance, including high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors, resistors, and a dual triode vacuum tube. The result is a microphone that captures every nuance of your sound with clarity and fullness, without the delicate noise floor often found in vintage designs.
