Lauten HTML1000 Horizon Tube Cardioid Condenser Microphone
The Horizon Tube Microphone serves studio and live sound professional and amateur recordists looking for a great sounding multi-purpose microphone with superb tube tone. Hand crafted with boutique quality components, this microphone features a very pleasing sound, and a unique industrial design.
The Horizon Tube Microphone is designed to be a workhorse – a multi-purpose microphone that sounds great in the mix and on a large variety of applications. Its sound is full-bodied which users describe as airy highs, thick luscious mids, and a tight fat bottom-end. This microphone is so versatile it can be used for both studio and live recording with great success.
With two different mounting options supplied with each microphone, it is very easy to maneuver the Horizon into the sweet spot. Designed with a slightly higher output, it can be less dependent on the preamp should that be the preference. Adding to the Horizon's usability are two pad selections that reduce its output by either 10 or 20 decibels, allowing very loud sound sources to be recorded without overload.
Internally, the microphone features a large-diaphragm capsule that accurately captures a broad frequency range. The tube is a unique, new-old-stock, military grade pentode that lends the microphone its superior tone and longevity. The electronics include the world's finest high-resolution capacitors and a custom-designed precision wound transformer that work together to achieve superior output quality.
You simply won't find another microphone that can match the Horizon's component quality, sound, and value on the market today.
