Lauten Audio LS-208 – High-Fidelity Front-Address Condenser Microphone
The Lauten Audio LS-208 is a high-fidelity, large-diaphragm front-address condenser microphone engineered to deliver exceptional clarity, impact, and tonal flexibility across a wide range of recording applications. Designed as a modern alternative to classic dynamic microphones, the LS-208 is the perfect solution for recording vocals, drums, electric guitar cabinets, and other high-SPL sources with stunning detail and warmth.
Equipped with dual onboard filters — a 50Hz and 120Hz low-cut and switchable 8kHz and 10kHz high-cut filters — the LS-208 allows for immediate and effective sound shaping at the source, reducing the need for extensive post-processing. Whether you’re aiming for punch and presence on vocals or a smoother, warmer tone for electric guitar amps, the LS-208 delivers unmatched versatility.
With the ability to handle up to 135 dB SPL without requiring internal padding, the LS-208 stands out as a top performer for loud and dynamic instruments like snare drums, toms, brass, and guitar cabinets. Its tight cardioid polar pattern and front-address design help reduce room bleed and background noise, making it ideal for close-miking in untreated or live environments.
Rugged, elegant, and studio-ready, the LS-208 includes a custom shockmount, windscreen, and hardshell case, making it a ready-to-go solution for professional and project studios alike.
