Lauten Audio LS-208 - Elevating Your Sound

Introducing the Lauten Audio LS-208, a professional front-address large diaphragm condenser microphone designed to bring brilliance and expressiveness to various audio applications. Whether you're in broadcasting, sound reinforcement, podcasting, or studio recording, the LS-208 delivers exceptional performance.

Versatile Usage

The LS-208 is your choice for spoken voice, singing, voice-overs, radio broadcasting, podcasting, and even capturing highly dynamic instruments and environments. It excels in close-miking drums and guitar amps and is ideal for studio-quality recordings in a wide range of settings.

Exceptional Dynamic Range and Sound Quality

With a full 120dB of dynamic range and 135dB of SPL handling without the need for attenuation, the LS-208 ensures your audio captures every nuance. Its wide frequency response and studio-quality sound reproduction provide clarity and richness to your recordings.

Outstanding Off-Axis Sound Rejection

The LS-208 boasts excellent off-axis sound rejection, allowing you to focus on your sound source while minimizing bleed from the surroundings, making it perfect for use in lively environments.

Independent Filters for Precise Control

This microphone features independent 2-stage low and high-cut filters, enabling you to fine-tune your recordings directly at the microphone. The 2-stage low-cut filter helps eliminate low-end rumble and muddiness, while the 2-stage high-cut filter helps tame bright instruments and high frequencies.

Fully Accessorized

The LS-208 ships with all the essential accessories you need, including a spider shock mount with threaded nut and adjustable elbow joint, a hard mount with threaded nut and adjustable elbow joint, a foam windscreen to protect against plosives, wind, and debris, and a rugged road case designed to hold all these accessories securely.
