It features a large diaphragm condenser design, specifically tailored to record toms, and includes a Supercardioid capsule that reduces unwanted noise and bleed from nearby cymbals.

The Lauten Audio LS508 Tom Mic features a Supercardioid capsule that’s designed to focus on the sound of your toms while minimising bleed from surrounding drums and cymbals. With up to 28dB of off-axis rejection, this microphone ensures that only your toms are captured in full detail, free from unwanted cymbal noise. This makes it perfect for both live performances and recording sessions, where capturing clean, isolated tom sounds is key.
With built-in sound-shaping controls, the LS508 gives you the flexibility to adjust the attack and body of your toms right at the microphone. The mic offers a variety of high and low-cut filters, allowing you to tweak the tone to suit different styles and environments. Need more snap in your tom sound? The 5kHz high-cut setting helps you preserve attack while reducing unwanted high-frequency bleed from cymbals. Want to bring out more warmth? The 12kHz high-cut filter softens the brightness for a rounder, fuller note.
The LS508 is designed to handle the wear and tear of both studio and live environments. Its solid brass headframe provides excellent protection against accidental stick hits, ensuring that it can stand up to heavy use. A mildew-resistant dust filter helps keep the microphone free from debris and moisture, so it stays in top condition even after repeated use on stage or in the studio.
Durability aside, the mic’s robust build quality doesn’t sacrifice performance. It remains sensitive to the nuances of your toms, delivering a powerful, high-fidelity sound every time.
One of the standout features of the LS508 is its flexibility when it comes to mic placement. Its design allows it to excel in a variety of positions, whether you prefer close micing or giving your toms a bit of breathing room. You can experiment with proximity to achieve different sonic textures - use close proximity for a punchy, isolated sound, or place it further back for more natural, resonant tones.
