VINTAGE FET

MODERN AIR

The Clarion is our unique take on a vintage FET condenser microphone modified with a touch of modern, top-end air. This custom-crafted studio workhorse captures vocals with faithful and present realism, kick drums with rich detailed impact, and bass guitar with astonishing depth and dimension. Like all Signature microphones, the Clarion is designed and crafted by the Lauten Audio family in Silicon Valley, CA.

Lauten Audio Clarion -10dB Gain Staging

-10 dB 

-10dB is useful when more color and saturation from a high-end preamp is desired, or when paired with very loud sounds.

Lauten Audio Clarion 0dB Gain Staging

0 dB

0dB sets the output of the Clarion to its default output gain selection.

Lauten Audio Clarion +10dB Gain Staging

+10 dB

+10dB is ideal for use with quiet sound sources and consumer-grade audio interfaces where more character from the microphone itself is desired.

PREMIUM COMPONENTS

The Clarion signal path is populated with high resolution, low distortion polypropylene capacitors, a US made low-noise FET, and a custom wound output transformer that puts the finishing touches on every sound that passes through it's copper windings. The result is a classic, open, mix-ready sound brimming with life.
