Undoubtedly the jewel in Lauten\u2019s crown, the Eden is the flagship in Lauten\u2019s premium Signature Series &#8211; a high-end, large-diaphragm tube condenser with a pristine, rich and detailed sound.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">&#8220;wow what an amazing mic&#8221;<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">In his review for Production Expert (aka Pro Tools Expert), reviewer James Ivey is quick to identify all of the features that make the Eden such a unique and powerful addition to any pro recording studio. The Eden really can be described as \u2018three mics in one\u2019, with three individual circuits providing three distinct tonal flavours (which Lauten call Gentle, Neutral and Forward). Boasting everything you&#8217;d expect from a modern, high-end studio microphone, the Eden can do it all &#8211; smooth and refined; bright and up-front; and classic, thick vintage sounds.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4 style=\"text-align: center;\">\u201cA blend of these 3 controls can transform the Eden into some very different<br \/>\nsounding microphones. A one trick poney mic this is not.\u201d<\/h4>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/eden-lt386-out-of-case.png\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-0\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6247\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/eden-lt386-out-of-case.png\" alt=\"Lauten Audio Eden Micropgone &amp; Accessories\" width=\"304\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/eden-lt386-out-of-case.png 1500w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/eden-lt386-out-of-case-300x246.png 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/eden-lt386-out-of-case-768x631.png 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/eden-lt386-out-of-case-1024x841.png 1024w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 304px) 100vw, 304px\" \/><\/a>Taking the Eden to task on a range of sources, James has also provided some recording examples he made in his own studio. Along with the three different voices, the Eden also has built-in high and low-pass filters for further shaping options at source, with James commenting that &#8220;Add in one of the high-pass filters and you\u2019ll think you have a completely different microphone.&#8221;<br \/>\n<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">Rounding off his time with the Eden, James says \u201ctake it from me, the Lauten Audio Eden is up there with the other mics in this price range. If you do have some serious microphone shaped money burning a hole in your pocket and you are looking at mics like the Manley Reference Gold, or the Brauner VM1 for your studio the Lauten Audio Eden should also make your short list.
