Always here for you.
The heir of a juggernaut.
Centered around a custom-made Lauten Audio capsule and a hand-soldered tube circuit path, our unique microphone design gives you the musical color of classic signal chains, straight into your audio interface.
Our newly improved, hand-tuned 32mm transducer naturally imparts gentle compression and balance to any sound source, making it ideal for use on traditionally troublesome applications.
Choose between the warmth of a classic tube microphone and the clarity of a modern tube microphone at the flip of a switch.
The LA-320 V2's onboard sound-shaping eliminates the need for mic swaps and wasted time. Explore the switch settings with the arrows below.
The 120Hz setting reduces low frequencies and mud, increasing clarity.
The 12kHz setting is smooth, dense, and warm like a vintage microphone.
The LA-320 V2 is hand-soldered with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, a dual triode vacuum tube, and a vintage-inspired output transformer. Designed and tested in Northern California.
Every LA-320 V2 includes a spider shock mount, power supply, and 5-pin cable.
The meaning of our work is shaped by the art and feedback of our creative family.
"I can’t recommend the LA320 enough! Whether you’re trying to cut a simple demo or polished final vocals, this mic is the perfect choice. I’ve been using the LA320 for over 5 years now and no matter what other mics I try, I always get the best results from Lauten Audio."
"As a full time content creator and session musician, I have never used a microphone with less demand for processing as the 320. This microphone is so unbelievably transparent and warm. Making music for short form content means that the listener is not always experiencing my music though quality speakers, but the 320 makes up for it with clarity, and that classic tube condenser warmth."

Frequently asked questions for LA-320 V2
While the LA-320 V2 and Eden LT-386 are both tube microphones, they have distinct designs. The LA-320 V2 utilizes a 32mm center-terminated capsule, while the Eden LT-386 uses Lauten Audio’s exclusive 38mm edge-terminated capsule. The Eden LT-386 also features an EF806 pentode tube, whereas the LA-320 is equipped with an ECC83 dual triode tube. This results in the LA-320 having a modern, musically forward sound that saturates beautifully when pushed. The Eden, because of its Multi-Voicing® section, is quite literally three tube microphones in one, each with its own larger-than-life sonic footprint.
When set to flat, the LA-320 V2 has a modern tube microphone sound, ideal for vocals, acoustic guitars, piano, and more. The low-pass filter adds warmth to the LA-320’s sound, shifting its timbre to a darker and more subdued space. This is ideal for musical styles and sources where warmth or nostalgia is the goal. It’s also great for taming bright or harsh sound sources.
The LA-320 V2's performance is comparable to vintage microphones in much higher price brackets. Existing owners often attest that the LA-320 V2 is preferred in blind shootouts over microphones costing two to five times more.
