Dual-tone flexibility at your fingertips
The LA-320 V2's dual-tone design allows you to choose between the warmth of a classic tube microphone and the clarity of a modern one. This means you can easily tailor the sound to match your recording needs, from adding richness to vocals to capturing the wood tones of acoustic instruments. Switching tones is as simple as flipping a switch, eliminating the need for microphone swaps or time-consuming adjustments. The dual-tone feature ensures that no matter the sound source, the LA-320 V2 gives you the flexibility to achieve the perfect recording quickly and efficiently.
Custom-crafted capsule for natural sound
At the heart of the LA-320 V2 is its custom 32mm capsule, designed to deliver balanced, natural sound with gentle compression. This hand-tuned transducer provides exceptional performance across a wide range of audio sources, making it ideal for handling traditionally tricky applications. Whether you're recording vocals, instruments, or room ambience, the capsule ensures a smooth, musical response. By naturally taming harsh frequencies and providing just the right amount of compression, it allows you to capture a finished, professional sound in fewer takes, simplifying the recording process.
Instant great sound without extra gear
The LA-320 V2 is engineered to provide a polished, musical sound straight out of the box, without needing a high-end signal chain or external processing. While it works beautifully with additional gear, this microphone is designed to perform on its own, delivering rich, present audio directly into your recording interface. This makes it especially useful for home studio setups or mobile recording, where achieving professional-quality sound without a lot of additional equipment is a priority. The result is a microphone that makes your workflow easier and faster, while still producing excellent results.
Handcrafted quality and modern durability
The LA-320 V2 is built with precision and care, featuring hand-soldered components including low-distortion capacitors and resistors, a dual-triode vacuum tube, and a vintage-style output transformer. These high-quality parts contribute to its crisp, clear sound while keeping noise to a minimum. Unlike delicate vintage microphones that can be prone to wear and tear, the LA-320 V2 is designed to be robust and reliable in modern studio environments. This makes it a solid choice for long-term use, offering the charm of vintage audio with the practicality and durability that modern recording demands.
