LAUTEN AUDIO / LA-120 V2

LA-120 is built around a US-made JFET to capture the vibrance and character of a sound with unprecedented realism and authenticity.

[MORE THAN MEETS THE EYE]
The LA-120’s onboard sound-shaping eliminates the need for mic swaps and wasted time. Jump from crisp to smooth to ribbon-like sonics at the flip of a switch.

[CUSTOM CAPSULES]
Our hand-tuned 17mm capsules provide transparent, lifelike sound with a musical blend of transient response and natural compression. This makes the LA-120 an ideal choice for use on drum overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, and piano.

[OMNI & CARDIOID POLAR PATTERNS]
Cardioid capsules will focus each microphone’s attention directly to where it is pointed, reducing the overall sound of a room in a recording.
Omnidirectional capsules allow the sound of a room or other off-axis instrumentation to be captured naturally and with uncolored authenticity.

[TRANSFORMERLESS TRANSPARENCY]
The LA-120 signal path is hand-populated with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, built around a US-made JFET for articulate, uncolored, and high-impact performance.

[HIGH SPL ASSISTANCE (OPTIONAL)]
We designed the LA-120s to excel in numerous applications, but you may want to use them on something extra loud. The optional in-line pads allow the LA-120s dynamic range and depth to be fully utilized on high SPL sound sources.
