Product Overview
The Gateway to Professional Tube Sound
The LA-320 V2 is a standout in Lauten Audio's Black Series, offering the soul and character of a vintage tube microphone without the steep price tag or reliability issues. It is engineered to provide a lush, detailed sound that naturally sits in a mix. Whether you are looking to add "weight" to a thin vocal or capture the natural resonance of an acoustic guitar, the LA-320 V2 provides a rich, harmonic-filled signal that breathes life into digital recordings.
Product Description
Vacuum Tube Warmth and Detail:
At the core of the LA-320 V2 is a hand-selected ECC83 vacuum tube paired with a custom-wound output transformer. This combination generates the natural saturation and musical compression that tube microphones are famous for. The 32mm hand-tuned capsule works in tandem with the tube circuitry to provide a full-bodied low-end and a silky-smooth high-frequency response that never sounds harsh.
Precision Analog Filter Switches:
The LA-320 V2 is unique among tube microphones for its built-in frequency shaping options. These independent filters allow you to solve recording challenges before they reach your interface:
High-Pass Filter (120Hz): Removes low-end rumble and cleans up proximity effect for clearer, more focused tracks.
Low-Pass Filter (12kHz): Softens harsh high-frequency content and room reflections, giving your audio a more "vintage" and organic feel.
V2 Refinements and Build Quality:
The Version 2 (V2) model features enhanced aesthetics and a robust, polished construction. The system includes a dedicated external power supply designed to provide clean, consistent voltage to the tube for ultra-low noise performance. The signal path is built with high-quality resistors and polypropylene capacitors, ensuring that every nuance of the performance is captured with high-fidelity clarity.
