Lauten Audio Snare Mic

Yes. The Snare Mic is designed to capture the full spectrum of the drum, including the resonance of the bottom wires, which eliminates the phase issues and setup complexity often associated with using two separate microphones.

It is built to handle high sound pressure levels exceeding 135dB, meaning it will remain clean and distortion-free even when placed close to a heavy-hitting snare.

The mic features a tight cardioid pattern and is engineered to reject up to 28dB of off-axis sound. This high level of isolation helps keep your snare track focused and free from unwanted bleed from the rest of the kit.

As a FET condenser, it requires standard 48v phantom power from your audio interface or mixing console. It connects via a standard XLR cable, so no proprietary power supplies are needed.

The onboard filters allow you to adjust the character of the snare sound directly at the source. This helps you dial in the desired amount of 'snap' or 'body' before the signal even hits your preamp, saving you time during the mixing process.

Yes, it features a rugged brass construction and a built-in dust filter. The capsule is also vibration-resistant, making it well-suited for the physical demands of a drum kit.
