Lauten Audio Tom Mic – The Ultimate Tom Microphone
The Lauten Audio Tom Mic is the world’s first large diaphragm condenser microphone custom-crafted specifically for toms. Equipped with Lauten Audio’s newly designed Supercardioid capsule and award-winning dual-bias circuitry, Tom Mic captures rack and floor tom sonics with maximum impact and tone while minimizing cymbal bleed. Its tom-tailored frequency response, combined with onboard analog sound-shaping, allows you to easily rebalance the attack and body of any tom, making it the ideal tool for both studio and live performances.
Key Features:
- Custom-designed for toms: Tom Mic is purpose-built to deliver pristine, powerful tom sounds with minimal cymbal bleed.
- Supercardioid capsule: Hand-tuned and vibration-resistant for excellent transient response, body, and tone.
- Up to 28dB off-axis rejection: Captures crisp, clear tom sounds while minimizing interference from cymbals and other drums.
- Onboard analog sound-shaping: Quickly switch between three high-cut and low-cut filter settings to tailor the sound to your needs.
- Durable design: Solid brass headframe and mildew-resistant dust filter for protection against stick hits, dust, and debris.
- Flexible placement: Ideal for various mic placement positions, from proximity isolation to more lifelike sonics, even on resonant heads.
Switch It Up:
Tom Mic features several filter options that shape its frequency response and offer unparalleled sonic versatility:
- Flat High Cut: Enhances snap and attack while reducing cymbal sizzle in the 3kHz to 5kHz range.
- 12kHz High Cut: Smooths out overly bright tom strikes, perfect for balancing a floor tom’s body while further reducing cymbal bleed.
- 5kHz High Cut: Minimizes harsh cymbal bleed in challenging environments, allowing for post-EQ presence and attack.
- Flat Low Cut: Passes all low-frequency information unaltered for natural tom sound.
- 80Hz Low Cut: Gently reduces low-frequency buildup while enhancing clarity and separation.
- 140Hz Low Cut: Cuts significant low-end buildup, perfect for close-mic applications where clarity and punch are paramount.
