Always here for you.
The pinnacle of Lauten design.
Eden LT-386 offers a vast sonic expanse unlike any other microphone.
Choose your analog circuit path with one switch.
Utilizing physics, our 38mm capsule is designed to emulate the sound of an entire signal chain.
The Multi-Voicing® switch on the back of the Eden lets you choose among three individual analog circuit paths, resulting in three distinct microphone sounds. Explore the switch settings with the arrows below.
The purest signal path within Eden, passing audio from its 38mm capsule through the tube and into the transformer, delivering a full, modern tube microphone sound with open, smooth top-end air.
Adds a new circuit to Eden’s signal path, softening high frequencies and sibilance while maintaining modern clarity and adding vintage microphone warmth and saturation characteristics.
Transitions Eden’s sound to warm and vintage, with a lush low end, pronounced midrange, and subdued high frequencies, evoking the signal chain sound of vinyl records from the 40s and 50s.
In addition to the warmth and color derived from an EF806s tube, the Eden LT-386 is also equipped with a custom-wound, U.S.-made output transformer that puts the finishing touches on every sound that passes through its copper windings.
Every Eden LT-386 includes a rugged flight case, power supply, 5-pin cable, and suspension mount.
The meaning of our work is shaped by the art and feedback of our creative family.
"My friend and artist I produce, Marc Martel, had been through every mic on the market, we even went to Blackbird and demoed over forty vintage microphones, and it wasn’t until I got him the Eden to try that he fell in love. From focused tools built for precision to hybrid designs that adapt to any creative situation, Lauten Audio are crafting microphones for how we record today."

Frequently asked questions for Eden LT-386
Through its MultiVoicing circuitry, the Eden covers a wide range of sounds found in highly desirable vintage tube microphones, while offering far greater control over transformer and tube saturation than classic designs. The Atlantis, in contrast, covers a wide range of sounds found in vintage FET microphones, although it is sometimes mistaken for a tube microphone. It’s important to note that the Eden is not a tube version of the Atlantis, and that neither of these microphones is, in any way, a copy of a vintage microphone.
The high-pass filter circuit in the Eden is positioned after the tube, but before the MultiVoicing and transformer sections. This unique placement allows you to shape not only the low-frequency response but also the color and saturation characteristics of the microphone within each of its three MultiVoicing settings, something a preamp’s high-pass filter cannot do.
The Eden provides access to three distinctly voiced tube microphones in one, offering the performance of multiple vintage microphones for less than the cost of a single classic model. To change between them, all you have to do is flip a switch.
