A Tube Microphone Designed for Today's Signal Chains

The LA-320 embraces a modern approach to tube microphones: capturing the richness, body, and smoothness typical of classic models without requiring a vintage processing chain to sound right. Lauten Audio designed this model around a proprietary capsule and a hand-soldered tube circuit path to deliver musical coloration and subtle compression directly at the input of your preamp or interface. The result: a studio microphone that delivers character while remaining easy to integrate into a current setup.

Ideal Uses for the LA-320

With its cardioid polar pattern and ability to handle high SPL levels, the LA-320 is an excellent choice for vocals (singing, spoken voice, premium podcasting) as well as instruments that require both texture and definition: acoustic guitar, soft overheads, distant guitar amp miking, or room/ambience capture. The dual voicing is especially useful in production: choose a rounder base to place the voice "up front" without harshness, or a more open option to gain articulation and presence in the mix.

Two Tonalities, Filters, and Tube Behavior: A "Mix-Ready" Recording

Tone Switch: From Velvet to Detail

The LA-320's "two-tone" concept allows you to adapt the microphone's signature to the song and timbre without changing microphones or multiple takes. The warmer position emphasizes body and a more "vintage" feel, while the modern option favors clarity and presence to cut through dense arrangements.

Integrated Filters to Control the Source

The high-pass filter (120 Hz) helps clean up vibrations, plosives, and mic stand noise. The low-pass filter (12 kHz) softens excessive brightness, tames sibilance, or makes a take more even before compression and EQ.

Dedicated Power Supply and Studio Connectivity

Like any true tube microphone, the LA-320 operates with an included external power supply. The mic-to-PSU connection uses a 5-pin XLR for secure signal transmission, then the 3-pin XLR output connects conventionally to your preamp.

Questions frequently asked

Is the Lauten Audio LA-320 V2 suitable for vocal recording?

Its cardioid pattern and a sensitivity of 14 mV/Pa allow for detailed vocal capture. The two-tone switch offers a warm tone or a more open response depending on the desired timbre.

What filters are built into the microphone?

A switchable high-pass filter at 120 Hz reduces vibration, plosives, and noise transmitted through the mic stand. A low-pass filter at 12 kHz helps soften excessive brightness or sibilance.

What power supply is required for the LA-320 V2?

An external power supply is included and accepts a switchable voltage from 100 to 240 V. The connection between the microphone and its power supply is via a 5-pin XLR, then the output to the preamp uses a 3-pin XLR.

Can it be used to record a guitar amp or overheads?

With a maximum SPL of 130 dB at 1 kHz for 0.5% THD, this model can be used on a guitar amp from a distance. The description also mentions overheads for soft miking, acoustic guitars, and ambient sounds.
