The LA-320 by Lauten Audio is a transformer-balanced tube condenser microphone that offers both vintage and modern sound profiles. Equipped with a custom 32mm capsule and dual triode vacuum tube, it is designed for high-quality audio capture across various applications.
The LA-320 is designed to provide the musical color and gentle compression associated with classic signal chains, directly into your audio interface.
The LA-320's onboard sound-shaping allows you to switch between the warmth of a classic tube microphone and the clarity of a modern tube microphone, eliminating the need for mic swaps.
Unlike traditional capsule designs, the LA-320 features a newly improved, hand-tuned 32mm transducer that naturally imparts gentle compression and balance, making it ideal for traditionally troublesome applications.
Hand-soldered with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, a dual triode vacuum tube, and a vintage-inspired output transformer, the LA-320 ensures articulate and balanced audio capture.
