Both the <strong>LS-308<\/strong> and <strong>LS-108<\/strong> are scheduled for release later in 2019.<\/div><\/span>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><div>The <strong>LS-308<\/strong> is a large-diaphragm condenser with an extreme level of noise rejection. Designed for recording instruments and voice in situations where separation is difficult to obtain, the <strong>LS-308<\/strong> solves the problem of achieving isolation in the most challenging of recording environments. With 270 degrees of side and rear off-axis rejection, ambient noise from other nearby sources is reduced by up to 25dB.<\/div><\/span>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/5C8wzYnzWEY\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/div>\n<div style=\"text-align: center;\">See more videos at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/synthaxtv\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Synthax TV<\/a><\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><div>This level of rejection is both unusual and highly impressive for a large-diaphragm condenser, and is a result of Lauten Audio&#8217;s unique design, which utilises a dual, large-diaphragm, pressure-gradient transducer element. Combined with the microphone&#8217;s specially designed circuitry, the <strong>LS-308<\/strong> perfectly handles multi-person, close-proximity vocal dialogue in noisy broadcast environments, rejecting sound from crowd noise and other instruments in live, studio or sound reinforcement environments.<\/div><\/span>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><div>Lauten Audio&#8217;s founder, Brian Loudenslager, explains. &#8220;The <strong>LS-308<\/strong> large diaphragm condenser microphone is a unique problem solver for recording engineers. Its noise rejection capabilities and tons of dynamic-range make achieving excellent recording results in extremely challenging recording environments possible. The <strong>LS-308<\/strong> works exceptionally well when combined with another condenser mic, so you can use most of the noise rejecting <strong>LS-308<\/strong> and add in just what you need from an accompanying microphone, without filling the track with all the other instruments in the room.&#8221;<\/div><\/span>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><div>The <strong>LS-208<\/strong> and <strong>LS-308<\/strong> share several internal features. Both can handle sound pressure levels of 135dB without the need for internal or external pre-attenuation, and in turn have the ability to capture an ultra-wide dynamic range. Highly unique for microphones of this type, both microphones are capable of capturing the full human audio perception of 120db of dynamic range, with many microphones limited to 85dB after compensating for self-noise. This ability gives engineers the option to capture brilliant recordings of highly dynamic instruments in a wide variety of environments, and is especially useful for recording horns, drums, percussion and guitar amps.<\/div><\/span>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Synergy-LS-308-Side-View-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" title=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft  wp-image-13181\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Synergy-LS-308-Side-View-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" alt=\"Lauten Audio Synergy LS-308 - Side View - Synthax Audio UK\" width=\"250\" height=\"250\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Synergy-LS-308-Side-View-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Synergy-LS-308-Side-View-Synthax-Audio-UK-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Synergy-LS-308-Side-View-Synthax-Audio-UK-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Synergy-LS-308-Side-View-Synthax-Audio-UK-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Synergy-LS-308-Side-View-Synthax-Audio-UK-267x268.jpg 267w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 250px) 100vw, 250px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h4>Independent High and Low-Cut Filters\u00a0<\/h4>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><div>Like the <strong>LS-208<\/strong>, the new <strong>LS-308<\/strong> features independent, multi-stage, high and low-cut filters to help engineers balance recordings at the source, and reducing the need for additional processing during mixing. The 2-stage low-cut (50 and 120Hz) filters reduce low-end rumble and proximity effect in voice applications, whilst the 2-stage high-cut (8 &amp; 10kHz) filters help tame bright instruments and high frequencies. Both microphones also feature internally shock-mounted condenser elements, to help reduce mechanical shock and vibrations.<\/div><\/span>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><div>The <strong>LS-308<\/strong> requires 48V phantom power for operation and features a JFET transistor circuit with a transformer-based balanced output, with a second-order cardioid polar pattern.\u00a0The microphone is constructed from high-quality components similar to those found in studio condenser mics, yet is built and packaged to withstand the rigours of broadcast and touring.<\/div><\/span>\n<div>\u00a0<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><div>A set of purpose-built accessories are also included &#8211; a detachable side mounted arm with 135 degrees of movement; a threaded hard mount with an adjustable elbow; an extra-large windscreen that covers the entire head;\u00a0and a hard storage and transportation case to house and protect the mic and all accessories. \u00a0<\/div><\/span>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<div>&nbsp;<\/div>\n<span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><div><strong>The LS-308 &#8216;problem solver&#8217;
