From Lauten Audio
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.
