This uniquely configurable design is equipped with analog sound-shaping onboard and includes interchangeable Cardioid and Omni capsules for added flexibility. Unlike traditional microphone designs that utilize a transformer to introduce color and saturation, the LA-120 is built around a US made JFET to capture the vibrance and character of a sound with unprecedented realism and authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003cp\u003eEach LA-120 is lovingly designed and built to last a lifetime by the Lauten Audio family.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eMORE THAN MEETS THE EYE\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe LA-120’s onboard sound-shaping eliminates the need for mic swaps and wasted time. Jump from crisp to smooth to ribbon-like sonics at the flip of a switch. Take the edge off harsh overheads, or warm up a bright piano. Add picking articulation to an acoustic guitar, or perfectly capture a string quartet, all at the flip of a switch.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eCUSTOM CAPSULES\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eHand-tuned 17mm capsules provide transparent, lifelike sound with a musical blend of transient response and natural compression. This makes the LA-120 an ideal choice for use on drum overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, and piano.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eOMNI AND CARDIOID POLAR PATTERNS\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eCardioid capsules will focus each microphone’s attention directly to where it is pointed, reducing the overall sound of a room in a recording. Omnidirectional capsules allow the sound of a room or other off- axis instrumentation to be captured naturally and with uncolored authenticity.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_3\"\u003eTRANSFORMERLESS TRANSPARENCY\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eThe LA-120 signal path is hand-populated with high resolution, low distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, built around a US-made JFET for articulate, uncolored, and high-impact performance.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_4\"\u003eHIGH SPL ASSISTANCE (OPTIONAL)\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cp\u003eLauten designed the LA-120s to excel in numerous applications, but you may want to use them on something extra loud. The optional in-line pads allow the LA-120s dynamic range and depth to be fully utilized on high SPL sound sources like toms, snare drums, and more.\u003c\/p\u003e  \u003ch3 id=\"toc_5\"\u003eAPPLICATIONS:\u003c\/h3\u003e  \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eDrum Overheads\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eAcoustic Guitar \u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003ePiano\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eStringed Instruments\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eChoir\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lauten Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44450869936231,"sku":"181195","price":499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/lauten-la-120_181195_1.jpg?v=1787094884","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.com\/products\/lauten-la-120-v2-pencil-condenser-microphone-pair","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
