Designed in close collaboration with renowned Producer and Mix Engineer Fab Dupont, the Atlantis provides a dynamic and versatile wealth of sound that makes picking the right microphone for even the most troublesome sources as easy as flipping a switch. From modern, tight and bright to smoky vintage velvet, the Atlantis offers an analog abundance of ready-for-mix sounds in a single microphone.\u003cbr\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eMULTI-VOICING\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThree separate signal paths are readily available for effortless timbral selection at the flip of a switch. The Gentle selection is warm with a vintage feel, ideal for taming bright or abrasive sound sources. The Neutral selection is classy and balanced with a smooth top-end, perfect for acoustic instruments. The Forward selection is bold, present and modern, without ever being harsh – the quintessential sound of modern Pop, Hip-Hop, and R\u0026amp;B.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eONE OF A KIND CAPSULE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe capsule of a microphone captures music’s most meaningful moments and converts them into electricity with relentlessly unforgiving results. Lauten's precision-crafted 38mm capsule is one of the largest in the world -- a one of a kind super-transducer designed in Silicon Valley and tuned by hand to capture the spirit, soul and wonder of a performance with unprecedented authenticity and realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eTHREE-WAY GAIN STAGING\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eFurther extending the versatility of the Atlantis is a three-position gain switch. The +10 dB selection is ideal for use with quiet sound sources and consumer-grade audio interfaces where more character from the microphone itself is desired. The -10 dB selection is useful when more color and saturation from a high-end preamp is desired, or when paired with very loud sounds. Set to 0, the output of the Atlantis is at its default output selection.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eSELECTABLE POLAR PATTERNS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003ePolar patterns have a significant impact on the sound of a microphone because each selection determines what the microphone hears. A Cardioid selection will focus all of the microphone’s attention directly to where it is pointed. This is the most commonly used polar pattern for sound sources such as vocals. Figure-8 and Omnidirectional selections allow the sound of a room or other off-axis instrumentation to be captured in a more open, natural or authentic way. These patterns are extremely useful for recording acoustic sound sources like guitar, piano, or drums. \u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003ePREMIUM COMPONENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Atlantis signal path is hand-populated with high resolution, low distortion polypropylene capacitors, a US made low-noise FET, and a custom wound output transformer that puts the finishing touches on every sound that passes through its copper windings. The result is a smooth, mix-ready sound brimming with life.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eFINISHING TOUCHES\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAfter being hand-polished, the Atlantis’ solid brass enclosure is hand finished with a durable, non-toxic ceramic coating and baked in an oven for curing before final assembly, burn-in, and testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_6\"\u003eDESIGNED AND BUILT IN SILICON VALLEY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEach Atlantis is lovingly designed and crafted to last a lifetime in Silicon Valley, CA by the Lauten Audio family.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lauten Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449466974311,"sku":"27918","price":1599.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/lauten-fc-387_27918_1_8b293b1c-bb37-4ae3-8c61-e4bf223b3024.jpg?v=1787089063","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/lauten-audio-atlantis-fc-387","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
