First off for the versatility with the multiple high-pass and low-pass filters, and then with my limited testing, I loved it on the electric guitar, because it did have such a tight and clean low-end. But at the same time, you were able to get that really aggressive and biting sound, but at no point does it start sound lop-sided or top-heavy.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<center>\n<h4>\u201cI think this would be an awesome microphone for podcasters or broadcasters <br>who are looking for a more condenser sound\u201d<\/h4>\n<\/center>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\">\u201cSecondly I think this would be an awesome microphone for podcasters or broadcasters who are looking for a more condenser sound \u2013 meaning with an extension up into the \u2018air frequencies\u2019. First off because it does do a pretty impressive job at background and off-axis rejection, especially for a condenser, and again because it is so versatile \u2013 it has those multiple high-pass and\u00a0low-pass filters \u2013 meaning you\u2019re probably going to be able to tune this to fit pretty much anybody\u2019s voice.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 14px;\"><a title=\"Lauten Audio LS-208 - Front-Address Microphone - Overview\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/lauten-audio\/lauten-synergy-series\/lauten-audio-ls-208\/\">Find out more about the Lauten Audio LS-208 Microphone<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<hr>\n<p><a title=\"\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Logo-01-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" data-rel=\"lightbox-image-1\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-6135\" src=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Logo-01-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg\" width=\"149\" height=\"61\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Logo-01-Synthax-Audio-UK.jpg 489w, https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/latest\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/01\/Lauten-Audio-Logo-01-Synthax-Audio-UK-300x123.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" \/><\/a><br>If you\u2019d like to know more about <a title=\"Lauten Audio microphones at Synthax.co.uk\" href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/lauten-audio\/\">Lauten Audio microphones<\/a>, give us a call on <a>01727 821 870<\/a> to speak to one of our team or to arrange a demo.<\/p>\n<p>You can also contact us <a href=\"mailto:info@synthax.co.uk?subject=Lauten%20Audio%20Microphones%20Enquiry\">via email<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>YouTube channel Podcastage\u00a0gives their opinion of the Lauten Audio LS-208 front-address microphone Podcastage is a YouTube channel that focuses on reviewing and testing out gear for use in podcasting and recording video for YouTube.
