Armed only&nbsp;with a laptop, an audio interface and a selection of Series Black mics, Stephan rode around Montreal (Canada) on his skateboard, teaming up with local musicians to record <\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">the song &#39;Foundation&#39; (written by Stephano Petrocca). <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Stephan explains, &quot;We had an idea to make a video showing how easy recording audio can be. An SPL Crimson interface with built in microphone preamplifiers. A couple of very affordable Lauten Audio Black Series microphones. A laptop and some cable and hit record!&quot;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Stephan then set off to record in a variety of locations, including the ruins of Le Studio in Morin Heights for the vocals (sadly now destroyed by arsonists), a room that was once used to record the likes of David Bowie, Keith Richards, The Bee Gees and Cat Stevens. The finished track was then mixed by none other than 7-time Grammy winner Darrell Thorp, who also used the Series Black on last year&#39;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/2017\/09\/25\/lauten-audio-microphones-foo-fighters\/\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Lauten Audio Microphones Chosen By Engineer Darrell Thorp For New Foo Fighters Album\">Foo Fighters album <em>Concrete and Gold<\/em><\/a>. <\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">&quot;<\/span><span style=\"font-size:14px;\">To bring this song all together, we enlisted Darrell Thorp to do the mixing&quot; Stephan continues. &quot;He was kind enough to squeeze us into his very busy schedule (Foo Fights, Radiohead etc). With the right Foundation, you can make anything possible.&quot;<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Hats off to Stephan and everyone involved, they&#39;ve done a great job!

Adept at capturing a wide range of acoustic instruments, as well as making a fine pair of drum overheads, the LA-120s are super-versatile and their size makes them a great choice for close-miking.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The two switchable high and low-cut filters (50 Hz &amp; 150 Hz, and 10 kHz &amp; 15 kHz respectively) can be used to help tame overly bright sources, or reduce low-end to enhance the clarity of a recording. Of course, the filters can also help prevent against background noise, for recording in less than ideal spaces (rumble from cars for example, or hum from an air con).<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">Sold in pairs, the LA-120s are also great for stereo-miking techniques such as ORTF, X\/Y or for experimenting with Mid-Side recording. They ship in a stylish wooden carry case and come complete with windscreens, mic clips, and changeable polar pattern capsules (cardioid and omni).

The LA-220 combines a 1-inch pressure gradient condenser capsule with an ultra-low-noise, American-made JFET amplifier, and high-quality capacitors and resistors usually reserved for far more expensive microphones.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">As such, the LA-220 offers a great price to performance ratio, with a sound that&rsquo;s equally at home on vocals, instruments, drums and percussion. Like the LA-120s, the LA-220 also features easily accessible high and low-cut switches for rolling off troublesome frequencies, and ships with an included shockmount.<\/span>\n<\/p>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/lauten-audio\/lauten-series-black\/lauten-la-220\/\" title=\"Lauten Audio LA-220 Overview\">Find out more about the LA-220<\/a><\/span>\n<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">\n\t&ldquo;The LA-220 is a seriously flexible mic at a seriously attractive price.&rdquo;<br \/>\n\t<em>&#8211; Future Music Magazine<\/em><br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<h4>\n\t&nbsp;<br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<h4>\n\t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-LA-320-03-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" rel=\"\" style=\"\" target=\"\" title=\"\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-2\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"Lauten Audio LA-320 - Synthax Audio UK\" class=\"size-full wp-image-6148 alignright\" height=\"175\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-LA-320-03-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" style=\"\" title=\"Lauten Audio LA-320 - Synthax Audio UK\" width=\"175\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-LA-320-03-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-LA-320-03-Synthax-Audio-UK-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-LA-320-03-Synthax-Audio-UK-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-LA-320-03-Synthax-Audio-UK-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-LA-320-03-Synthax-Audio-UK-267x268.jpg 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 175px) 100vw, 175px\" \/><\/a>Lauten Audio LA-320 &#8211; Large diaphragm vacuum tube condenser microphone<br \/>\n<\/h4>\n<p>\n\t<span style=\"font-size:14px;\">The LA-320 is a large-diaphragm vacuum tube condenser, with a sound described as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.soundonsound.com\/reviews\/lauten-audio-la-320\" target=\"_blank\" title=\"Lauten Audio LA-320 | Review By Sound On Sound\">&quot;clean and open yet smooth at the high end&quot;<\/a>.
