[Product Description]

・More than meets the eye. LA-120's onboard sound shaping eliminates the need to change microphones and waste time. Jump from crisp to smooth to ribbon-like with a simple switch. Take the edge off harsh overheads or warm up a bright piano. Add picking articulation to an acoustic guitar or perfectly capture a string quartet. Custom Capsule Our hand-tuned 17mm capsule delivers transparent, lively sound with a musical blend of transient response and natural compression. This makes the LA-120 ideal for use with drum overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, and piano. OMNI & Cardioid Polar Pattern Cardioid capsules focus each microphone's attention directly to the desired location, reducing the overall sound of the room during recording. The omnidirectional capsule naturally captures room sounds and other off-axis instrumentation, delivering colorless authenticity. Transformer-less Transparency The LA-120 signal path is hand-embedded with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, and built around American-made JFETs, making it articulated, colorless, and shock-resistant. ・High SPL Assist (Optional) Although we designed the LA-120 to be excellent in many applications, we recommend using it loud. An optional inline pad allows you to take full advantage of the LA-120s' dynamic range and depth with high SPL sources such as toms and snare drums.

This SDC pair offers performance, versatility, and value. With a transformerless design, the Lauten Audio LA-120 V2 pair offers world-class clarity and exceptional sonic flexibility thanks to an onboard frequency shaping filter.

At GearNuts, we found this Lauten Audio LA-120 V2 microphone set to be ideal for spaced pair, XY, and ORTF stereo microphone techniques. Independent Frequency Shaping Filters GearNuts engineers appreciate the independent dual-stage low-pass and high-pass filters.
