Are you a content creator or podcaster looking for a microphone that can deliver high-quality sound and has a personality of its own? Look no further than the LA-220 condenser microphone from Lauten Audio. This microphone is part of the Black series from Lauten and is designed with creators in mind.
One of the first things you will notice about this microphone is its packaging. Lauten has put a lot of thought and effort into the packaging, and it shows. The LA-220 comes in a black-on-black box with a magnetic enclosure that sets the stage for a positive experience.
When you open the box, you will find a sturdy microphone with a tapered cylinder body and a head basket that feels equally sturdy. The microphone has two switches on it, one for low roll-off filter and the other for high roll-off filter. While vintage microphone sounds are more than just rolling off the high-end, these switches do provide some control over the sound.
The low roll-off filter rolls off at 120 Hertz, while the high roll-off filter rolls off at 12 Kilohertz. The high roll-off filter is a great addition, but the downside is that you cannot knock down the sensitivity if you have a really loud sound.
The microphone doesn't have a pad switch, but that's unlikely to be an issue. The maximum SPL that this microphone can handle is 130 db, which is more than what you get with the Neumann U 87 AI. The self-noise is rated at 15 db, which is similar to the Neumann U 87 AI.
The LA-220 is a large-diaphragm microphone with a 25-millimeter diaphragm and a 32-millimeter diameter capsule. The microphone is designed to handle plosives quite well, and you don't need a pop filter with this microphone. While there is no windscreen or pop filter built into the microphone, the capsule and head basket design contribute to its excellent plosive handling.
If you're looking for a microphone that is designed with creators in mind, the LA-220 is an excellent choice. Its combination of sound quality, design, and features make it a great option for anyone looking for a high-quality microphone that can deliver excellent results.
