LAUTEN Audio LS-408 Snare Microphone

The LAUTEN Audio LS-408 is a premium large-diaphragm condenser microphone specifically engineered for snare drums and percussion instruments. Designed to overcome the limitations of traditional dynamic snare microphones, the LS-408 delivers exceptional detail, superior transient response, and remarkable isolation, making it an ideal choice for professional recording studios, live sound engineers, and demanding drummers seeking uncompromising snare drum capture.

Built around Lauten Audio's proprietary Dual-Bias™ condenser capsule technology, the LS-408 captures the full character of a snare drum with exceptional clarity, punch, and dynamic range. Unlike conventional snare microphones, the LS-408 reproduces both the attack and body of the drum with studio-grade accuracy while maintaining excellent off-axis rejection to minimize bleed from nearby cymbals and drums.

A defining feature of the LS-408 is its innovative second-order cardioid polar pattern, providing outstanding side and rear rejection. This unique design allows engineers to isolate the snare more effectively in complex drum setups, reducing unwanted cymbal wash and stage noise while preserving the natural sound of the instrument.

The microphone includes onboard High-Pass and Low-Pass Filters, enabling precise tonal shaping directly at the source. These analog filters allow engineers to reduce low-frequency rumble, control excessive bleed, and tailor the microphone's response without relying heavily on EQ during mixing. (Lauten Audio)

With a frequency response of 20Hz–20kHz, high SPL handling capability, and ultra-fast transient response, the LS-408 excels not only on snare drums but also on toms, percussion, guitar cabinets, brass instruments, and other high-impact sound sources. Its rugged all-metal construction and compact profile make it suitable for both studio and live performance environments. (Lauten Audio)
