Purpose built microphones for today's recording environments

Some microphone companies are built on legacy. Lauten Audio is built on intention.

Founded in Silicon Valley in the early 2010's, Lauten Audio entered the market with a clear point of view: create microphones that honor classic tone while pushing design forward. Instead of cloning the past, they focused on giving modern engineers more control, better balance, and tools that sound finished right out of the box.

That philosophy has guided everything they’ve done since, and it’s why Lauten microphones are now trusted in studios and on stages around the world.

A design-first approach to sound

Where many manufacturers follow trends, Lauten has consistently led with thoughtful engineering. Features like onboard voicing controls, tone shaping, and carefully tuned frequency responses aren’t add-ons, they’re core to how the microphones are meant to be used.

The result is microphones that help engineers commit earlier, work faster, and capture performances that translate everywhere.

The Lauten lineup

The Atlantis FC-387 is a standout in the lineup, offering three distinct voicings: Forward, Neutral, and Gentle making it one of the most versatile large-diaphragm condensers available. It’s a true studio workhorse, excelling on vocals, acoustic instruments, and amplifiers.

For those chasing depth and character, the Eden LT-386 delivers a bold, vintage-inspired tone with modern clarity. It’s a natural fit for lead vocals, piano, and room miking when size and emotion matter.

The Clarion FC-357 takes a different approach, offering a clean, fast, and detailed sound that stays smooth even in modern, high-density mixes. It’s a favorite for pop vocals, voiceover, and acoustic sources that need clarity without harshness.

On the dynamic side, the Lauten Snare Mic (LS-208) is purpose-built but incredibly versatile, finding homes on snare drums, toms, guitar cabinets, and percussion where punch and control are essential.

The Synergy Series rounds out the lineup, bringing Lauten’s design philosophy to more accessible price points. Ideal for stereo pairs, overheads, and home studios, these microphones deliver professional results without compromise.

Trusted worldwide, on stage and in the studio

Today, Lauten Audio microphones are found in professional studios, home setups, broadcast environments, and live stages across the globe. Artists and engineers continue to choose them not because they follow trends but because they solve real-world problems and consistently deliver musical results.
