Equipped with Lauten Audio’s redesigned supercardioid capsule and award-winning dual-bias circuitry, Tom Mic captures pure, high-definition rack and floor tom sonics with maximum impact and tone while minimizing cymbal bleed. In addition to its tom-tailored frequency response, Tom Mic also features onboard analog sound-shaping, which allows you to musically rebalance the attack and body of any tom on any drum kit at the flip of a switch.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eThe Tom Mic’s tom-tailored frequency response captures each rack and floor tom with drummer-perspective speed, power, and tone, making EQ an afterthought rather than a must-have.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_0\"\u003eTOMS, NOT CYMBALS\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eLauten Audio’s bleed-blocking head design and dual bias circuitry work together to provide Tom Mic with up to 28 dB of off-axis rejection. This means crisp, clear tom sounds with far less cymbal bleed than a traditional dynamic or condenser microphone. Whether stand or rim-mounted, Tom Mic’s redesigned supercardioid capsule is hand-tuned and vibration-resistant to ensure a powerful balance of transient, body, and tone while minimizing inharmonic overtones from neighboring drums and tuning inconsistencies.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_1\"\u003eBUILT TO WORK\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eEach Tom Mic has a solid brass headframe and mildew-resistant dust filter to protect against stick hits, dust, and debris, whether in the studio or on stage. Because of its unique design, Tom Mic is ideal for a wide array of placement positions while minimizing off-axis sounds. From the slap and isolation of proximity to the lifelike sonics of separation, each placement position offers a wealth of sonic possibilities. It’s even great on resonant heads as well.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3 id=\"toc_2\"\u003eSWITCH IT UP\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eTom Mic’s filters impact the overall performance of the microphone and play a critical role in its overall sonic versatility.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cul\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFlat High Cut: Tom Mic’s frequency response boosts from 1 kHz - 2 kHz, dips sharply at 3 kHz for snap, then rises around 5 kHz for smack and attack. Sensitivity is also reduced from 9 kHz through 14 kHz to minimize the sizzle and harshness of cymbal bleed.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e12 kHz High Cut: Reduce perceived attack from overly bright tom strikes for a slightly rounder and more balanced note. This setting is also helpful for bringing up the perceived body of a floor tom while further reducing bleed from the surrounding cymbals.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e5 kHz High Cut: Minimize bleed in harsh environments while preserving the essential impact and tone of a tom. This setting allows you to reintroduce presence and attack through post-EQ without accentuating unwanted high-frequency elements.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003eFlat Low Cut: Allow all low-frequency information generated by a rack or floor to pass through Tom Mic’s dual-bias circuitry unaltered.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e80 Hz Low Cut: Gently reduce low-frequency buildup while improving perceived clarity from each note. This setting enables toms to stand out in a mix without sacrificing density and low end.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003cli\u003e140 Hz Low Cut: Significantly reduce low-frequency buildup while enhancing the perceived impact and clarity of each note. This setting is particularly useful in close-mic applications where toms need to assertively cut through a dense mix with precision and clarity.\u003c\/li\u003e\r\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Lauten Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44451080667239,"sku":"291062","price":398.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/lauten-audio-ls-508-tom-mic-fet-condenser-microphone-24_291062_1_8150ea60-1929-4cbc-a5ed-02d69a9a427f.jpg?v=1787095757","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/lauten-audio-ls-508-tom-mic-fet-condenser-microphone","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
