The Lauten Audio LA-320 is a tube condenser microphone aimed at project studios and home recordists who need a sweet-sounding professional tube mic at a bargain price. This large diaphragm workhorse has a pronounced low end and silky highs, a tone reminiscent of classic vintage mics and a sound that's wonderfully suited to vocals and acoustic instruments. Switchable filters for low and high frequencies let you take out the rumble and tame harsh sibilances as needed, but the flat sound of this microphone is truly stunning to begin with.
