Lauten AudioLA-320 Twin-Tone Tube Condenser Microphone
1/6
Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
Lauten’s LA-320 is a transformer-balanced tube condenser with a switchable twin-tone voice: one setting emphasizes the warmth and body associated with classic tube microphones, while the other offers a more modern tube clarity and presence. A hand-tuned 32 mm capsule and hand-soldered tube circuit are paired with onboard high- and low-pass choices. It is cardioid, connects through its included power supply, and is intended to record directly into an audio interface without requiring a high-end signal chain.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Recording acoustic guitar woodiness or pop-vocal air with switchable tube voicing.
- Direct-to-audio-interface sessions using a tube microphone and its included power supply.
