The LS\u2011208 is one of the more flexible mics I&#8217;ve come across\u2026 A microphone that combines very good off-axis rejection with clarity even on loud sources is a useful tool indeed.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you work in heavy, loud genres and have to mic quite &#8216;busy&#8217; drum kits, the LS\u2011308 could prove very handy indeed. Both mics are sturdy, come as well-thought\u2013out packages and offer lots of potential uses both in the studio and on the stage.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Big thanks to Sound On Sound for the great review!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.synthax.co.uk\/lauten-audio\/lauten-synergy-series\/lauten-audio-ls-308\/\">Find out more about the Lauten Audio LS-308 Microphone<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/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-bGlnaHRib3gtaW1hZ2UtMQ==\" data-rl_title=\"\" data-rl_caption=\"\" 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\" sizes=\"(max-width: 149px) 100vw, 149px\" 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\" width=\"149\" height=\"61\"><\/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<\/body>\n<style>\np { font-size: 110%; } \nhr { margin: 5px 0; }\n<\/style>\n<\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sound On Sound tests out the Lauten Audio Synergy Series Microphones (LS-208 &amp; LS-308) Read the full review here.
