Introducing the Lauten Audio Snare Microphone!

Introducing the Lauten Audio Snare Microphone! Lauten Audio has just released the new Lauten Audio Snare Microphone! This is a purpose-built FET condenser microphone specifically for snare drums. It's made for real-world use and is intended to work for just about every snare drum in every situation, regardless of the player, snare type, or location. It features a solid brass headframe with a mildew-resistant dust filter which will protect it from stick hits, dust and debris in the studio or on stage. The Snare Microphone's capsule is hand-tuned and it's circuitry is based on the same tech used in Lauten Audio's award-winning Synergy Series microphones!

Onboard Sound Shaping

The Lauten Audio Snare Microphone has some helpful switches to shape the microphone's response to your snare!

• High Cut – Snare Mic’s unaltered high-frequency response is designed for mix-ready sound. It maximizes stick crack and playing dynamics while delivering open, lifelike top-end air.
• 12kHz High Cut – Smooth out high-end for a dynamic microphone-style sound. This setting balances the microphone's sound and adds a dip after 7kHz to help reduce cymbal bleed, followed by a slight increase from 12kHz-15kHz to help maintain a natural, open snare attack.
• 5kHz High Cut – Reduce extreme bleed caused by cymbal or stage volume. This setting creates a much smoother response from 1kHz-7kHz, with a slight rise in the 5-7kHz range, followed by an immediate drop-off after 7kHz so that more character, presence, and attack can be EQ’d back into a sound without accentuating problematic high-frequency information
• Flat Low Cut - Allow all low-frequency information to pass for chest-pounding bottom-end with each snare strike.
• 80Hz Low Cut – Reduce low-frequency spillover from kick drums and toms while adding a slight presence boost to the sound of your snare drum.
  
• 140Hz Low Cut – Retain the presence boost of your snare drum’s fundamental frequency while significantly reducing phase incoherence and spillover from kick drums and toms.
