The Horizon from Lauten Audio is a lollipop style, single pattern, large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone that is versatile enough to handle a range of different applications. From male and female vocals, to electric guitar, as well as kick and snare drums, this microphone will perform beautifully in your home or studio. This microphone has a smooth top end, meaty mid-range and a tight bottom end, making it an exceptional microphone for kick and snare drums as well as many other instruments. A miniature three-position toggle switch at the top of the mic body provides pre-attenuation of 0, -10 or -20 dB, enabling it to accommodate maximum sound pressure levels of 120, 130, or 140 dB respectively.The generous output levels make life easy for budget computer interfaces, the two-stage pads enable close miking of loud sources, the smooth, if airy, response seems to work well with most sources and certainly helps them to cut through a mix with minimal EQ, and the overall tonality is of a warm, harmonically rich classic valve mic. The build quality is excellent too. You can also hear how the Lauten microphones sound in a full drum mix - both dry and with EQ, Compression, and Reverb. This video features artists Ken Carter on the drums along with Tony Witherspoon on the Fender Rhodes Mark I keyboard.
