BREAKOUT DETAILS
TWO TUBE MICS IN ONE
The LA-320’s onboard sound-shaping eliminates the need for mic swaps and wasted time.Choose between thewarmth of a classictube microphoneand the clarityof a modern tube microphoneat the flip of a switch. Capture the wood of a worn-outacoustic guitar and the air of a pop vocalwith the same microphone at the flip of a switch.
CUSTOM-CRAFTED CAPSULE
Unlike classiccapsule designs, our hand-tuned 32mm transducer naturally imparts gentle compression and balance to any sound source, making it ideal for useon traditionally troublesomeapplications. This means getting a great recordingin thereal world is faster and easier.
FINISHED SOUND WITHOUT THE SIGNAL CHAIN
The LA-320 isn’t flat – it sounds like music. We believe every Lauten Audio microphone should stand on its own and make your life easier. Does the LA-320 sound great with a high-endsignal chain? You bet! Does it need one to deliver powerful, present sound out of the box? Not at all.
INSIDE STORY
The LA-320 is hand-soldered with high resolution, low distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, a dual triodevacuum tube, and a vintage-inspired output transformer. The resulting sound is crisp, clear, and full without the high noise floor and delicacy of vintage microphones.
DESIGNED & TESTED IN SILICON VALLEY, CA
Each LA-320 is lovingly designed and built to last a lifetime by the Lauten Audio family.
