Lauten Audio TOM MIC

The Lauten Audio Tom Mic is a groundbreaking microphone that finally gives your toms their own dedicated large-diaphragm condenser. Whether you’re tracking a jazz quartet or rocking out with a metal band, the LS-508 Tom Mic captures the power and definition of rack and floor toms like no other mic can. Its innovative design focuses squarely on highlighting the commanding presence of these often-overlooked drums, capturing larger-than-life, drummer-perspective sound that’s powerful and responsive.

A Frequency Response Tailored to Toms

At last, you can record toms with a mic that’s purpose-built to flatter their tone. The Tom Mic’s unique frequency response complements the attack and body of toms, rather than fighting against their sound. A gentle boost between 1–2kHz enhances the initial snap, while a dip at 3kHz tames harsh overtones. The response then rises again around 5kHz to bring out the smack and attack you crave. Say goodbye to struggling with EQ just to achieve a workable sound—the Tom Mic gets your tone just right from the get-go.

Customize the Attack and Tone

Not all toms are created equal, which is why Lauten Audio’s Tom Mic features onboard analog filters to further shape its response. Use the “Flat High Cut” setting to capture crisp attack and snap in the upper mids and highs, just as the transducer’s frequency curve is tuned out of the box. Engage the 12kHz filter to tame overly bright toms for a rounder, more balanced note, or flip to the 5kHz high cut to minimize harsh crosstalk in loud environments. The Lauten Audio Tom Mic also includes 80Hz and 140Hz low-cut filters to remove excess rumble for a tight, focused sound that accentuates punchiness. The LS-508’s ability to musically rebalance attack and body at the turn of a switch gives you total control over your tom tone.
