The LT-381 Oceanus  features our newly designed 31.25mm large dual-diaphragm capsule and a very unique circuit topology. This microphone is designed to be a high-performance vocal mic that produces full and detailed recordings. 

The circuit topology features a pentode tube with a carefully selected operating point as the input stage, and a transformerless tube output stage. This design increases clarity and transient response of the signal and reduces noise, RFI and signal loss. This also helps eliminate the harshness often associated with transformless mics and adds warmth and character. The mic also features variable step 9-point omni to cardioid to figure polar patterns. 

The LT-381 Oceanus comes as a complete studio package featuring premium accessories.

Fantastic for vocals and overheads!
