OUR FAMILY SAYS IT BEST

"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."

"The LS-208 is a desert island mic. I could make an entire record using just LS-208’s from top to bottom on every drum, guitar, bass, vocal track and beyond. When someone asks me what mic they should absolutely have, this is the mic I tell them to get."

"I’ll be straight. This is the best tom mic I’ve ever used. Not “for the money” and not “in certain situations.” Just period. I’ve always preferred LDCs on toms because nothing beats that transient speed in the highs and the extended low end down into the 40 to 50 Hz range. The problem was always bleed. Drummer. Cymbals. Chaos. Tom Mic fixed that. I get the transient top end, the weight below 100 Hz, and the rejection is so strong I stopped using triggers for gate side chaining. I can drop this right in the middle of a loud kit and still get clean, focused toms every time. Every time I throw these up I say the same thing. “This is exactly the sound that was in my head.” Big. Clean. Controlled. Zero drama."

"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."

"The LA-120s have been a vital part of my drum recordings for the past two years, and I honestly can’t think of a better pair of overheads. I hit drums pretty hard — it’s just how I play — and I love the tonality that comes from that intensity. That’s why it’s so important for me to have microphones I can trust to capture the full energy of my performance."

"The Clarion has saved me on so many recorded sessions it’s not even funny. I used to do mic shootouts against it, but it kept winning. I use it on everything from lead vocals, kick, overheads, guitars, you name it. It’s become my primary workhorse that I rely on more than any other mic in my collection."
