The Lauten Audio Kick Microphone is a condenser microphone specifically for capturing powerful, clear bass drum sounds with deep low-end and precise attack. It’s perfect for drummers, engineers, and producers who want a mix-ready kick sound right from the source without fighting bleed and muddiness.
The Lauten Audio Kick Microphone is a complete reimagination of bass drum capture, designed to deliver instant attack, clarity, and deep, defined low-end power from a single interior position. Built around Lauten’s new KC608 capsule, the Kick Mic maintains its polar integrity down to 50Hz - eliminating the muddiness, low-end buildup, and phase issues common with traditional kick drum microphones. Its unique Air Coupling Modes actively manage air turbulence and reflections, allowing the mic to “breathe” naturally with the drum for lifelike dynamics and mix-ready tone straight out of the box.
Engineered for both studio precision and live durability, the Kick Mic features an integrated filter system for effortless tonal shaping and a compact, road-ready design that fits easily inside any bass drum port. It rejects unwanted bleed from surrounding drums and cymbals, reducing the need for gates or heavy EQ, and its locking swivel mount provides over 180 degrees of adjustment for fine-tuning attack and low-end balance. Combining analog warmth with modern clarity, the Kick Mic delivers powerful, chest-pounding bass drum sound that thrives on stage and in the studio alike. The Kick Mic’s integrated filter system lets you fine-tune your tone with two onboard switches. The high-pass filter (flat or 80Hz) tightens low end and boosts punch, while the low-pass filter (flat or 5kHz) reduces high-end attack and bleed for a smoother, rounder kick sound.
