Redefining Kick Drum Recording: Lauten Audio Launches the Kick Mic

California-based microphone innovator Lauten Audio proudly announces the launch of the Kick Mic, a breakthrough in bass drum recording that combines precision engineering, versatile sound capture, and rugged build quality in a single, inside-mounted microphone.

Specially engineered for capturing the full impact and tonal richness of bass drums, the Lauten Audio Kick Mic is the only microphone you need inside your kick drum.

Precision Engineering for Unmatched Bass Response

Designed to deliver professional-grade performance in both studio and live environments, Kick Mic eliminates the need for multiple microphones, providing all the punch, depth, and clarity drummers and engineers demand.

At the heart of the microphone is its high-quality KC608 capsule, optimised to capture every nuance of the bass drum’s tone — from the sub-bass foundation to the sharp attack of the beater. A tailored frequency response ensures tight, controlled lows without sacrificing clarity or definition in the midrange, delivering a natural, full-bodied sound from your favourite kick.

Whether you’re recording in a professional studio or a live setting, Kick Mic delivers exceptional detail and articulation, faithfully reproducing every nuance of your performance.

Kick Mic is designed to be mounted quickly and securely inside virtually any kick drum. Its compact, unobtrusive form factor allows it to capture the full drum sound without interfering with the drummer’s performance.

With no need for additional overheads or external mics, Kick Mic simplifies the recording process while providing engineers with full control over EQ and dynamics in the mix.

 

Durable, Road-Ready Construction

Like its siblings the Snare Mic and Tom Mic, Kick Mic features rugged external hardware and premium internal components – built to withstand the rigors of touring and live performance.
