This microphone has found its home on everything from vocals and voice-overs to drums, electric guitar amplifiers, acoustic guitar, piano and fiddle. It is also known to be used for live sound micing. The Horizon has been highly successful in the US and other parts of the world receiving very positive customer feedback and publication reviews.

The highly anticipated LT-381 features newly designed large dual-diaphragm capsule, NOS military grade pentode input and transformer-less triode output circuit, and variable omni, cardioid and figure-8 polar patterns.

"We spend weeks in the studio tweaking each model until we find their sweet spot. We then spend months on production planning because we believe the real challenge is not in producing a few great sounding prototypes, but in reproducing that sound in a final product consistently and efficiently. This is one of our focus areas and key strengths.”
