Lauten Audio LA-220 V2 Large diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Centered around a custom-made Lauten Audio capsule and hand-soldered circuit path, Lauten's unique microphone design gives you the musical colour and gentle compression associated with classic signal chains but straight into your audio interface.

Ideal For Use On: Vocals Drum Overheads Kick/Toms Acoustic Guitar Electric Guitar

Two Mics In One Choose between modern clarity and classic warmth at the flip of a switch. Is something too bright? Flip a switch. Too dark? Flip a switch.

The LA-220’s onboard analogue sound-shaping eliminates the need for mic swaps and downtime, which means you can focus on the main thing --- making music. Capture vocals with presence and punch or an electric guitar without any annoying high-end sizzle effortlessly.

Custom Capsule

The LA-220 utilises the same capsule as its larger tube sibling, the LA-320. Unlike traditional capsule designs, Lauten's hand-tuned 32mm transducer naturally imparts gentle compression and balance to any sound source, making it ideal for use in an array of string, percussion, and vocal applications.

Classic Sound Without The Signal Chain

The LA-220 isn’t flat – it sounds like music. Lauten believes every microphone should stand on its own and make your life easier. Does the LA-220 sound great with a fancy signal chain? You bet! Does it need one to deliver powerful, present sound? Nope.
