New Mics Arrive From Lauten

I'm so excited! The long anticipated (by me, anyway) LDC mics from Lauten are in stock at Summit Audio.

Damon Gramont called me this afternoon to let me know that Summit has them and are ready to talk VO mics when we are. The two we may be most interstetd in are the Oceanus and the Clarion.
The Oceanus is that Super-Mic we have all been waiting for. He says it really sounds BIG--in your face, BIG.
He suggest the Clarion may be the most useful for VO because it sounds full, yet smooth.
My suggestion, if you are interested, is to call Damon and talk Mics and preamps. Work your own deal, but tell him you saw it on VO Mic Test and he will know where you are coming from.

I really can't wait to hear these new mics, so let me know if you try one out.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

LAUTEN AUDIO BEGINS SHIPPING THREE EXCITING NEW MICROPHONES

SANTA CLARA, CA, September 16, 2008 – Lauten Audio, a professional microphone maker, has
begun shipping three new studio microphones: the Oceanus LT-381, the Clarion FC-357 and the Torch ST-221.
Each new model compliments each other as well as the company's first product, the Horizon
tube microphone, and enriches its professional studio microphone line.

“We are very excited to begin shipping and filling our pre-orders,” says Brian Loudenslager, Founder of Lauten Audio. “I am really proud of everyone involved that made these new mics come to life.”

Lauten Audio’s new studio microphones include:

Oceanus LT-381
List: $1599.00
The highly anticipated Oceanus LT-381 features a newly designed large dual-diaphragm capsule, NOS military grade pentode input, transformer-less triode output, and variable omni, cardioid and figure-8 polar patterns.
Visually stunning, the Oceanus is a fantastic vocal mic. It is an original high-performance tube condenser microphone that produces full and detailed recordings.

Torch ST-221 pair
List: $1499.00
The Torch ST-221 is a small diaphragm tube microphone that is packaged in pairs. These
microphones feature interchangeable cardioid and omnidirectional capsules, NOS military grade
vacuum tubes and premium high-resolution electronics. The Torch combines the characteristics
of the small diaphragm and the tube, making it an ideal choice for recording instruments. The
package includes 21 components and accessories.

Clarion FC-357
List: $799.00
The Clarion FC-357 is a solid-state multi-pattern large diaphragm condenser microphone. The
microphone is a blend of classic and modern FET sound. It has class-A electronics and a dual-
diaphragm capsule capable of omnidirectional, cardioid and figure-8 polar patterns. It also
features a unique three-position attenuation and gain switch, which offers powerful recording
options

“Each of these models offers a unique sound to recordists, and all of the Lauten Audio studio
microphones are designed to compliment each other," says Mr. Loudenslager. "The feedback we
received from our pre-release evaluations beat our expectations and really validated what we wanted to accomplish. I am very confident we have raised the bar for original sound and innovation as a boutique brand.”

“We are proud to offer a truly different microphone brand in the US," says Erik Papp of Summit Audio Inc., which is Lauten Audio’s sale representative in the US. "From the beginning of working with Lauten Audio I have been excited about being involved with a microphone manufacturer that is creating unique products.
I have a lot of respect for their ability to successfully create original designs. After years in development with the new products, we have really great products to offer."
Mr. Loudenslager adds, “We have taken steps to differentiate ourselves in a crowded microphone market. Whether it is unique circuits, new capsule designs, or including more relevant accessories, we make products that empower recordists at all levels.”
The new Lauten Audio microphones are available at dealers around the world.
