{"product_id":"lau-lt386","title":"Lauten Audio Signature EDEN LT-386 Tube Condenser Microphone","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Eden is the pinnacle of Lauten Audio’s microphone designs -- three distinct tube microphones packed into a single, hand-finished brass enclosure and with nickel-plated crown. This custom-crafted work of art is equipped with Lauten Audio’s exclusive 38mm capsule, Harmonic Sound Shaping, and Multi-voicing® circuitry for an unparalleled breadth of sound that makes picking the perfect microphone as easy as flipping a switch. From smoky and warm to modern and open, the Eden offers a vast expanse of sonic possibilities unlike any other microphone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMULTI-VOICING®\u003cbr\u003eThree separate signal paths are readily available for effortless sound shaping at the flip of a switch. The Gentle selection is dark and sultry with a warm vintage feel, ideal for taming bright or abrasive sound sources. The Neutral selection is smooth and earthy with a natural balancing of sibilant sounds, and the Forward selection is Bold, present and modern, but never harsh. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHARMONIC SOUND SHAPING\u003cbr\u003eThis three-position filter section dynamically interacts with the Eden’s Multi-voicing circuitry, resulting in a small to significant impact on the overall feel and harmonic content of each Multi-voicing selection. The Hard (bottom) setting shifts the timbre of the microphone towards the mid-range, adding focus, accentuation and articulation to a sound and is ideal for use with the Forward selection for modern pop and R\u0026amp;B vocals. The Soft (middle) setting gently reduces murkiness and any overbearing low frequencies, while also adding clarity and focus to the upper end harmonics of a sound. This is powerful when used with the Gentle selection to attain a truly\u003cbr\u003evintage microphone experience. Set to Off (top), the full frequency spectrum of a sound is passed directly to the Multi-voicing circuitry for maximum density and harmonic saturation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eONE OF A KIND CAPSULE\u003cbr\u003eThe capsule of a microphone captures music’s most meaningful moments and converts them into electricity with relentlessly unforgiving results. Our precision-crafted 38mm capsule is one of the largest in the world -- a one of a kind super-transducer designed in Silicon Valley and tuned by hand to capture the spirit, soul and wonder of a performance with unprecedented authenticity and realism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTHREE SELECTABLE POLAR PATTERNS\u003cbr\u003ePolar patterns have a significant impact on the sound of a microphone because each selection determines what the microphone hears. A Cardioid selection will focus all of the microphone’s attention directly to where it is pointed. This is the most commonly used polar pattern for sound sources such as vocals. Figure-8 and Omnidirectional selections allow the sound of a room or other off-axis instrumentation to be captured in a more open, natural or authentic way. These patterns are extremely useful when recording acoustic sound sources like guitar, piano, or drums.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePREMIUM COMPONENTS\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition to the warmth and color derived from an NOS EF806 tube, the Eden is also equipped with a custom wound, US-made output transformer that puts the finishing touches on every sound that passes through its copper windings. The result is an elegant, flexible, and mix-ready sound that rivals history’s most coveted tube microphones.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFINISHING TOUCHES\u003cbr\u003eAfter being hand-polished, the Eden’s solid brass enclosure is hand finished with a durable, non-toxic ceramic coating and baked in an oven for curing. It is then fitted with a nickel plated crown and suspension mount before final assembly, burn-in, and testing.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDESIGNED AND BUILT IN SILICON VALLEY\u003cbr\u003eEach Eden is lovingly designed and crafted to last a lifetime in Silicon Valley, CA by the Lauten Audio family.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIN THE BOX\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Flight Case\u003cbr\u003e• Eden with Suspension Mount\u003cbr\u003e• Power Supply\u003cbr\u003e• 5-Pin cable\u003cbr\u003e• IEC cable\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIDEAL FOR USE ON\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Male and Female vocals\u003cbr\u003e• Acoustic Guitars\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSPECIFICATIONS\u003cbr\u003e· Type: Pressure gradient tube condenser\u003cbr\u003e· Capsule: 38mm dual diaphragm\u003cbr\u003e· Polar Patterns: Cardioid, Omnidirectional \u0026amp; Figure-8\u003cbr\u003e· Freq.
