The Lauten Audio LA-220 is a large diaphragm condenser microphone with transformer-coupled JFET electronics, built for the project studio and home recordist who needs a professional-grade mic at an affordable price. The LA-220's modern sound is characterized by a huge bass response, particularly useful for that "up close and personal" vocal sound, and great for filling out the bottom octave on higher-pitched female vocalists. A pair of handy switchable filters let you tame any harsh high-end you come across as well as rumbling bass from the room or boomy sources, making the LA-220 an ultra-versatile mic that you'll use in all sorts of situations.
