Flip a switch for vintage or modern tube mic sound.
The Lauten Audio LA-320 is a twin-tone tube microphone that allows you to choose between the warmth and body of a vintage tube microphone and the clarity and presence of a modern tube microphone—at the flip of a switch. Classic tube microphones were made for a signal chain that you may or may not have, so we designed the LA-320 to sound great without it. Centered around a custom-made Lauten Audio capsule and hand-soldered tube circuit path, our unique microphone design gives you the musical color and gentle compression associated with classic signal chains, but straight into your audio interface.
Two Mics in One
The LA-320’s onboard sound shaping eliminates the need for mic swaps and wasted time. Choose between the warmth of a classic tube microphone and the clarity of a modern tube microphone at the flip of a switch. Capture the wood of a worn-out acoustic guitar—and the air of a pop vocal—with the same microphone at the flip of a switch.
Custom-crafted Capsule
Unlike classic capsule designs, Lauten Audio’s hand-tuned 32 mm transducer naturally imparts gentle compression and balance to any sound source, making it ideal for use on traditionally troublesome applications. This means getting a great recording in the real world is faster and easier.
Great Sound Without the Signal Chain
The LA-320 isn’t flat—it sounds like music. Lauten Audio designs microphones that stand on their own and make your life easier. The LA-320 sounds great with or without a high-end signal chain.
What's Inside Matters
The LA-320 is hand-soldered with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, a dual-triode vacuum tube and a vintage-inspired output transformer. The resulting sound is crisp, clear and full—without the high noise floor and delicacy of vintage microphones.
