Home / Lauten Audio LA-120 V2 Small-diaphragm Condenser Microphone Pair
Product Overview
The Ultimate Stereo Workhorse
The LA-120 V2 is engineered for transparency and versatility. Unlike many budget small-diaphragm condensers that can sound "brittle" or "thin," the LA-120 V2 utilizes a high-resolution FET signal path and premium components to deliver a smooth, natural frequency response. Whether you need the focused capture of a cardioid pattern or the immersive, natural room sound of an omnidirectional setup, this pair provides the professional clarity required for high-fidelity digital recording.
Product Description
Interchangeable Capsule System:
The defining feature of the LA-120 V2 is its versatility. Each microphone comes with two sets of hand-tuned capsules. Use the Cardioid capsules for a tight, focused sound that rejects off-axis room noise, or swap them for the Omnidirectional capsules to capture a wide, natural stereo field and extended low-frequency response without the proximity effect.
Built-In Analog Tone Shaping:
To minimize the need for post-processing, each microphone is equipped with two independent filters:
High-Pass Filters (50Hz / 120Hz): Perfect for removing floor vibrations or tightening up the low-end on acoustic instruments.
Low-Pass Filters (10kHz / 15kHz): Ideal for rolling off the "ice-pick" highs of bright cymbals or taming the string squeak on acoustic guitars, giving you a smoother, more vintage character.
V2 Improvements & Quality Components:
The Version 2 (V2) update features refined aesthetics and a robust build quality designed to handle daily studio use. The signal path is populated with high-resolution capacitors and a low-noise US-made FET, ensuring that the microphones remain exceptionally quiet and responsive to fast transients, such as the shimmer of a cymbal or the pluck of a string.
