{"product_id":"lauten-audio-kick-mic-424321","title":"Kick Mic","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Modern Approach to Internal Kick Drum Miking by Lauten Audio\u003c\/h3\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eLauten Audio Kick Mic\u003c\/strong\u003e was designed to meet a very specific need: to capture a massive yet \u003cstrong\u003enatural\u003c\/strong\u003e sound inside the kick drum, with reliable low-frequency response and excellent impact definition. The brand takes a more \"studio\" approach than a traditional kick drum mic, relying on a FET condenser capsule and an acoustic design dedicated to controlling turbulence and internal wave behavior.\u003cbr \/\u003eRather than depending on heavy EQ or corrective processing (gating, phase alignment, bleed suppression), the Kick Mic aims for an immediate result: a solid sonic foundation that's quickly usable and flexible enough to adapt to very different styles, from modern rock to metal, as well as pop and funk.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWho It's For and Intended Uses\u003c\/h3\u003eThis microphone is aimed at \u003cstrong\u003esound engineers\u003c\/strong\u003e, home studio users, and live technicians who want a clear internal capture with a low end that \"holds\" in the mix and a controllable attack. It's ideal if you're looking for a present kick without harshness, capable of translating playing dynamics (double pedal, ghost notes, nuances) while maintaining a stable low-frequency spectrum.\u003cbr \/\u003eOn stage, its \u003cstrong\u003erobust construction\u003c\/strong\u003e and compact format facilitate integration in tight setups, including internal mounts. In the studio, it serves as an excellent starting point to layer a second source (external mic, subkick) or, conversely, to work with a single take with minimal correction.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch3\u003eFeatures Designed for a More Readable and Musical Kick\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch4\u003eKC608 Capsule: Speed, Controlled Low End, and Solid Directivity\u003c\/h4\u003eAt the heart of the Kick Mic, the \u003cstrong\u003eKC608 capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e (17 mm diaphragm integrated into a 40 mm element) is designed to handle high SPLs while remaining fast on transients. The ventilated rear chamber preserves the integrity of the polar pattern down to \u003cstrong\u003e50 Hz\u003c\/strong\u003e, the range where much of the kick drum's energy resides. The result: a cleaner low end, less \"muddy,\" with a precise low-frequency feel and mids that retain body.\u003cbr \/\u003eCompared to many more traditional kick drum solutions, this design limits low-frequency buildup effects and helps achieve a firm, clear kick without needing drastic cuts or phase corrections afterward.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eAir Coupling: Turbulence Control for a Cleaner Attack\u003c\/h4\u003eThe \u003cstrong\u003eAir Coupling\u003c\/strong\u003e system is designed to better manage waves and turbulence inside the shell. In practice, this translates to a sharp attack, a more natural \"breathing\" sensation of the kick, and better stability when the mic is placed close to the batter head. You get a massive impact with a more musical texture and less harshness in the upper mids.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eBuilt-in Filters: Shape the Tone Before the Preamp\u003c\/h4\u003eThe Kick Mic integrates two filters to shape the source as close to the mic as possible. The \u003cstrong\u003ehigh-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e enhances punch and presence, useful for making the kick stand out in dense mixes or improving clarity on demanding sound systems. The \u003cstrong\u003elow-pass filter\u003c\/strong\u003e helps attenuate high frequencies and beater noise to achieve a rounder, more \"vintage\" sound or simply reduce attack when it's too overpowering.\u003cbr \/\u003eIn live settings, these options save valuable time on stage and reduce reliance on aggressive EQ. In the studio, they help reach the right balance faster before compression, saturation, or parallel processing.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eHybrid Circuit and Noise Rejection: A Cleaner Kick Without Artifacts\u003c\/h4\u003eThanks to a \u003cstrong\u003ehybrid design\u003c\/strong\u003e (through-hole and surface-mount components), the Kick Mic strikes a balance between speed, depth, and musicality. Its \u003cstrong\u003enoise rejection\u003c\/strong\u003e design helps minimize cymbal and tom bleed, making mixing easier and often eliminating the need for an audible noise gate. You retain more naturalness and dynamics while gaining clarity.\u003cbr \/\u003e\u003ch4\u003eCompact Format and Adjustable Mount: Quick and Reliable Placement\u003c\/h4\u003eThe microphone is housed in a compact metal chassis designed to withstand road rigors. Its \u003cstrong\u003eadjustable locking mount\u003c\/strong\u003e offers over \u003cstrong\u003e180 degrees\u003c\/strong\u003e of rotation, simplifying placement inside the port or in tight configurations. Compatibility with most internal kick drum mounts allows you to easily find a reproducible position from one gig or session to the next.\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical
