Lauten Audio Announces New Product Accessories


Lauten to offer a 10dB attenuator for the Series Black LA-120 microphones and premium quality suspension bands for their Signature Series microphone spider mounts

10dB Attenuators
Anaheim, CA – NAMM — January 17, 2017 – Today Lauten Audio has announced new accessories for their Series Black and Signature Series microphone products. First, a pair of 10dB attenuator Pad adapters for the Series Black LA-120 small diaphragm condenser microphones, and second, premium quality suspension mount bands for the Atlantis FC-387, Clarion FC-357 and Oceanus LT-381 Signature Series spider shock mounts.

LA-120 with pad installed
The Pads are sold as a pair and offer 10dB of attenuation. They install between the capsule and preamplifier of the microphone body. These offer the user additional versatility when using the LA-120’s on higher SPL sources like drums or guitar amplifiers. This brings the LA-120’s current max SPL handling from 130 to 140dB SPL, making them capable of handling just about any source a recordist can throw at them. The adapters are 2.7cm in length and when installed increase the length of the LA-120 to 18.4cm from its stock length of 15.9cm. Lauten expects the Pads to be available by the end of 1st quarter 2017 with an MSRP of $99, and street price of $59. 

Premium Made in USA suspension bands
The shock mount bands are a premium quality optional upgrade for the Lauten Audio Atlantis FC-387, Clarion FC-357 and Oceanus LT-381 spider shock mounts. These bands are constructed from U.S.A. made ultra-high quality elastic cord featuring a heavy-duty nylon jacket resulting in maximum elasticity longevity and excellent vibration and noise transfer reduction. The bands are 22cm in length for the Atlantis and Clarion spider mounts, 29cm for the Oceanus spider mount and packaged as a pair. These custom bands are hand made in the USA and come with a 90-day guarantee from manufactured defects. The shock mount bands are sold separately from the microphones, as an optional upgrade and are user installable. They should be available immediately after the Winter NAMM show with an MSRP of $29.99, and street price of $19.99.
