The Lauten Audio LA-220 V2 is a two-tone FET powerhouse bridging the gap between vintage warmth and modern clarity. Engineered to sound massive right out of the box, you don’t need racks of expensive outboard gear to make this microphone sing. The LA-220 V2 delivers the musical color and gentle compression of a classic signal chain, even when plugged straight into your audio interface.
Two Distinct Tones, One Mic
Endless tweaking can kill your creative momentum. The LA-220 V2 solves common recording problems before you even touch your DAW, letting you toggle between modern punch and old-school warmth with a simple flick of a switch. Acoustic guitar too bright? Flip a switch. Vocals too muddy? Flip a switch.
Independent High and Low-Cut Filters: Tame unruly highs and muddy lows on the spot. These 120 Hz low-cut and 12 kHz high-cut filters let you shape your sound directly at the source, sculpting it instantly.
Modern & Vintage Voicing Switch: No more mid-session mic swaps. Flip from a modern, crisp pop vocal to a moody, vintage drum overhead in a flash. It's workflow wizardry.
Onboard Analog Shaping: Get the sound right before it even hits your DAW. This mix-ready magic means you'll spend less time wrestling with EQ plugins and more time creating.
A Capsule Crafted for Character
Microphone capsules are thinner than a human hair, meaning the smallest details dictate the biggest sounds. Lauten didn't just grab an off-the-shelf part; they packed the LA-220 V2 with the exact same meticulously tuned capsule found in its premium tube sibling, the LA-320.
Custom 32mm Transducer: Hand-tuned to naturally impart a gentle, musical compression that balances out dynamic vocalists and aggressive percussion.
Upgraded Chassis: The V2 features a denser, more substantial body material that accidentally — but brilliantly — added an extra layer of sonic weight and punch to the low end.
Refined Capsule Tuning: Meticulously refined to ensure consistency and naturally smooth out harsh sibilance, resulting in silky, expensive-sounding highs.
Premium Components, Pure Performance
You don't need a vintage Neve console to get a massive sound when the microphone itself does the heavy lifting. The LA-220 V2 is stuffed with top-tier, hand-soldered components that add life, depth, and dimension to every single take.
Hand-Soldered Circuitry: Built the hard way with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors for crystal-clear audio capture.
US-Made JFET: An ultra-low noise JFET ensures your recordings are dead quiet, letting the nuances of the performance take center stage.
Vintage-Inspired Transformer: The custom output transformer saturates beautifully, adding that elusive analog mojo to sterile digital recording setups.
One Mic to Rule Them All
The Lauten Audio LA-220 V2 is what happens when brilliant engineering meets musical intuition. It stops the endless gear-chasing and lets you get back to the music. With its massive sound, robust build, and built-in tonal flexibility, it’s a microphone that confidently handles whatever you throw at it, making your life easier and your tracks larger than life.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Lauten Audio LA-220 V2
What are the main differences between the LA-220 V1 and V2?
The V2 has an upgraded, heavier body for more low-end punch, a refined capsule for smoother highs, and a redesigned shock mount for better isolation.
What is the primary use for the Lauten Audio LA-220 V2?
It's a versatile workhorse that excels on vocals, acoustic guitars, and drums. The onboard filters make it adaptable to almost any source.
Does the LA-220 V2 require a high-end preamp to sound good?
No. It's designed to deliver a classic, mix-ready sound even when plugged directly into a standard audio interface.
What polar pattern does the LA-220 V2 use?
It has a fixed-cardioid polar pattern, which helps reject room noise and focus on the sound source in front of it.
What do the high-cut and low-cut switches actually do?
The low-cut filter removes low-end rumble below 120 Hz, while the high-cut filter rolls off harsh sizzle above 12 kHz for a warmer, more vintage tone.

This mic sits so well
This mic sits so well in the mix, it doesn’t fight for space, it just knows exactly where to go with whatever genre you throw at it. It has a very crisp, radio ready sound.

I’m totally new to Lauten
