Manufacturer's Description from Lauten

The LS-308 offers 270 degrees of side and rear frequency rejection reducing nearby sound by up to 25dB. The rejection is achieved with Lauten Audios’ unique dual, large-diaphragm pressure gradient transducer element in combination with its specially designed circuit. The LS-308 is intended for use in multi-person close-proximity vocal dialogue, like close-quarter broadcast commentary, or when the rejection of other instruments, crowds, etc., in a live studio, on-stage or sound reinforcement is desired.

The LS-308 does not require pre-attenuation and can handle 135dB+ of SPL. The circuit also allows for an ultra-wide 120db of dynamic range. These features give engineers the ability to capture high dynamic sources, and in noisy environments

The Independent, multi-stage, high and low-cut filters help engineers balance recordings at the microphone and aid in successfully capturing the source. The 2-stage low-cut aids in reducing low frequency rumble and proximity effect. The 2-stage high-cut helps tame high frequencies.

Fully accessorized both internally and externally, the LS-308 comes with the following.

▪ Internally shock mounted transducer elements to help reduce rumble and handling.

▪ Detachable side swing arm mount

▪ Hard mount for added mounting versatility

▪ Foam windscreen to protect the transducer element from plosives, wind, and debris

▪ Hard-case that fits all accessories and built for the rigors of the road.

Unlike any microphone of its kind on the market today, the LS-308 offers exceptional noise rejection and dynamic-range capabilities for recording in challenging environments.

Lauten Audio

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.
