{"product_id":"lauten-audio-ls-408-snare-microphone","title":"Lauten Audio Snare Mic FET Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eSnare drums are the lifeblood of music. The materials, tuning, and way they are played tell us exactly how and what we should feel about a composition. Snare drums should be honored, but instead, they are often poorly recorded, heavily manipulated, or replaced entirely for various reasons. The \u003cstrong\u003eLauten Audio Snare Mic\u003c\/strong\u003e is the only purpose-built FET condenser microphone made explicitly for snare drums. It ensures that each snare drum's distinct characteristics, impact, tone, and dynamics are captured with sample-quality sound at the microphone. Snare Mic’s frequency response, SPL handling, and ultra-high dynamic range are made to ensure chest-pounding fundamental frequencies, tangible timbre, and explosively musical top-end impact with every note. This means mix-ready sound straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eMASSIVE SOUND. MINIMIZED BLEED\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSnare Mic captures a snare drum's true impact, body, and timbre while rejecting up to 28 dB of off-axis sounds. This means clear, mix-ready sonics with optimal phase coherence straight out of the microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eSMALL BUT MIGHTY\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eAt only 4.2 inches, placement on even the most densely populated drum kit becomes effortless. And its vibration-resistant capsule means Snare Mic is ideal for both stand and rim-mounted applications\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eMADE FOR REAL-WORLD USE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eA solid brass headframe with a mildew-resistant dust filter protects Snare Mic from stick hits, dust, and debris on stage or in the studio.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eEVERY SNARE EVERY TIME\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSnare Mic is not an instrument mic that works on snare drums. It is purpose-built to ensure the best snare drum sound in every situation, regardless of player, snare type, or location.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eLAUTEN LINEAGE\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSnare Mic’s hand-tuned capsule and dual-bias circuitry are based on the same technologies utilized in Lauten Audio’s award-winning Synergy Series microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eONBOARD SOUND SHAPING\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eSnare Mic’s filters differ from those found on a mixing console, preamp, or DAW. Their impact on sonics and overall performance is much more significant than the labeling may lead you to believe. Flat 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e12 kHz High Cut – Smooth out high-end for a dynamic microphone-style sound. This setting balances the microphone's sound and adds a dip after 7 kHz to help reduce cymbal bleed, followed by a slight increase from 12 kHz - 15 kHz to help maintain a natural, open snare attack.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e5 kHz 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 - 7 kHz range, followed by an immediate drop-off after 7 kHz so that more character, presence, and attack can be EQ’d back into a sound without accentuating problematic high-frequency information.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFlat Low Cut - Allow all low-frequency information to pass for chest-pounding bottom-end with each snare strike.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e80 Hz Low Cut – Reduce low-frequency spillover from kick drums and toms while adding a slight presence boost to the sound of your snare drum.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e140 Hz 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.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lauten Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450985607271,"sku":"202341","price":398.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/lauten-ls-408-snare-microphone_202341_1_d0a09111-eabf-463e-8c6d-827e146c214c.jpg?v=1787095375","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/lauten-audio-ls-408-snare-microphone","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
