Lauten AudioLA-220 Twin-Tone FET Condenser Microphone
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Onboard high-pass and low-pass switching gives the LA-220 practical tonal control without changing microphones mid-session. Its cardioid, transformer-balanced FET design pairs a 32 mm capsule with a choice between modern clarity and classic warmth. Use it for vocals, electric guitar, strings, or percussion when you want to address excess brightness or darkness at the microphone. It connects by 3-pin XLR and requires 48V phantom power.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording vocals, electric guitar, strings, or percussion with switchable tone shaping available directly on the microphone.
- Sessions where a 120 Hz high-pass or 12 kHz low-pass option can reduce microphone changes.
