{"product_id":"lauten-audio-ls408-snare-mic","title":"Lauten Audio LS408 Snare Mic","description":"\u003cp\u003eSnare drums are the lifeblood of music. The materials, tuning, and way they are played tell us exactly how and what we should feel about a composition. Snare drums should be honored, but instead, they are often poorly recorded, heavily manipulated, or replaced entirely for various reasons. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSnare Mic is the only purpose-built FET condenser microphone made explicitly for snare drums. It ensures that each snare drum's distinct characteristics, impact, tone, and dynamics are captured with sample-quality sound at the microphone. Snare Mic’s frequency response, SPL handling, and ultra-high dynamic range are made to ensure chest-pounding fundamental frequencies, tangible timbre, and explosively musical top-end impact with every note. Add on Snare Mic’s ability to reject up to 28dB of off-axis sounds, and you get professional, mix-ready results straight out of the box.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMASSIVE SOUND. MINIMIZED BLEED\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnare Mic captures a snare drum's true impact, body, and timbre while rejecting up to 28dB of off-axis sounds. This means clear, mix-ready sonics with optimal phase coherence straight out of the microphone. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eONE AND DONE \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA single Snare Mic can replace the traditional multi-mic setup needed to capture the full spectrum of a snare drum. Its 3D sound even lets you hear the bottom snares through the top head when Snare Mic is placed at lower positional angles. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSMALL BUT MIGHTY\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAt only 4.2 inches, placement on even the most densely populated drum kit becomes effortless. And its vibration-resistant capsule means Snare Mic is ideal for both stand and rim-mounted applications. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMADE FOR REAL-WORLD USE\u003cbr\u003eA solid brass headframe with a mildew-resistant dust filter protects Snare Mic from stick hits, dust, and debris on stage or in the studio. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEVERY SNARE EVERY TIME\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnare Mic is not an instrument mic that works on snare drums. It is purpose-built to ensure the best snare drum sound in every situation, regardless of player, snare type, or location. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLAUTEN LINEAGE\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnare Mic’s hand-tuned capsule and dual-bias circuitry are based on the same technologies utilized in Lauten Audio’s award-winning Synergy Series microphones. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eONBOARD SOUND SHAPING: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSnare Mic’s filters differ from those found on a mixing console, preamp, or DAW. Their impact on sonics and overall performance is much more significant than the labeling may lead you to believe. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFlat High Cut – Snare Mic’s unaltered high-frequency response is designed for mix-ready sound. It maximizes stick crack and playing dynamics while delivering open, lifelike top-end air. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e12kHz High Cut – Smooth out high-end for a dynamic microphone-style sound. This setting balances the microphone's sound and adds a dip after 7kHz to help reduce cymbal bleed, followed by a slight increase from 12kHz-15kHz to help maintain a natural, open snare attack. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e5kHz High Cut – Reduce extreme bleed caused by cymbal or stage volume. This setting creates a much smoother response from 1kHz-7kHz, with a slight rise in the 5-7kHz range, followed by an immediate drop-off after 7kHz so that more character, presence, and attack can be EQ’d back into a sound without accentuating problematic high-frequency information. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFlat Low Cut- Allow all low-frequency information to pass for chest-pounding bottom-end with each snare strike. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e80Hz Low Cut – Reduce low-frequency spillover from kick drums and toms while adding a slight presence boost to the sound of your snare drum. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e140Hz Low Cut – Retain the presence boost of your snare drum’s fundamental frequency while significantly reducing phase incoherence and spillover from kick drums and toms. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eIN THE BOX\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Snare Mic\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Articulating Hard Mount \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e• Cordura Padded Bag\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Lauten Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44431636758621,"sku":"LAU-LS408","price":683.05,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0736\/8179\/7213\/files\/snare_mic_front.jpg?v=1778355376","url":"https:\/\/gearstage.store\/products\/lauten-audio-ls408-snare-mic","provider":"GearStage","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
