What We Think

The Clarion is an incredible and unique sounding microphone with a price tag that may surprise you. Its intuitive design eliminates the harsh characteristics that sometimes emerge when recording with a FET condenser, resulting in a smooth and crisp sound with some subtle warmth. We found that the Clarion performed exceptionally well on electric guitar as shown in our Flickinger reverb video, however it's studio uses are only limited by your imagination. The addition of the +10 dB and -10 dB add even more flexibility and control to your tracking sessions. The Clarion, along with the other microphones designed by Lauten Audio, is certain to be a reliable go-to microphone for any recording situation.

Large Diaphragm Condenser Mic Shootout on Male Vocals

This blind Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone shootout on Male Vocals features 4 incredible LDC mics: the Shure KSM44, Miktek C7, CharterOak E700, and the Lauten Clarion. All four mics were run through our Vintech 573 Preamp Modules and Lynx Aurora Converter. First we'll hear the mics completely dry, and then just for kicks we'll add in some traditional vocal reverb from our Bricasti M7 Reverb System. If you would like the results of the shootout or all five full length hi-res audio files to compare for yourself, shoot us an email to mics(at)soundpure.com at anytime. Additionally all of these microphones are eligible for our free Try-Before-You-Buy demo program, so if you like what you hear and would like to experience one of these mics for yourself, give us a call at anytime for more information. Huge thanks to our vocal talent Beau Buttons for this great original performance! Follow him on twitter at: www.twitter.com/beaudeas.

About Manufacturer

Based in California, Lauten Audio was founded almost a decade ago by Brian Loudenslager, who saw a need for well thought-out mics with a unique character. Working in collaboration with Grammy nominated engineer and producer Mike Terry and theoretical physicist Dr. Charles Chen, Brian started working on the Horizon, which they wanted to be a unique-sounding work-horse studio microphone. Two years later the Horizon was introduced. 8 years later, Lauten Audio has become known as a leader in original-sounding microphones with unique timbre, and has garnered a loyal following. Lauten audio does not clone classic or vintage microphones, and instead starts with a clean slate to bring you a truly original product.
