Due to the nature of the products we sell, we operate a strict fraud screening process and therefore we are only able to deliver to the billing address.

In the event of a delay, we will contact you either by email or telephone as soon as reasonably possible.

While 99% of UK locations are valid for next day/Saturday delivery, there are a few remote locations which are not covered.

Synthax Audio (UK) cannot deliver outside of the UK and Republic of Ireland*.

*RME products cannot be shipped to the Republic of Ireland.

 

Missed Deliveries

If you are not in to receive the order at the time delivery is attempted, a card will normally be left to notify you of the missed delivery attempt. This will allow you to either telephone the courier company to arrange a re-delivery at a more convenient time or collect it from your local courier depot or Royal Mail sorting office. For security reasons, all items require a signature.

If for any reason the item is returned to us (e.g. incorrect address specified, multiple failed delivery attempts), then we will inform you immediately by email as soon as we receive the item. From this point forth, you will be given a choice whether you wish us to re-dispatch the item or cancel the order. Please refer to our Cancellations & 14 Day Returns Procedure for more details. For items where delivery failed through no fault of Synthax Audio (UK), you will be liable for the original shipping charge, any courier surcharges and any subsequent delivery charges.

 

Late Deliveries or Dispatch

We are able to ship almost every order in the specified timescale. However, in very rare circumstances there can be an unforeseen delay. If this does happen, we will make it our priority to get your order dispatched from our warehouse as soon as reasonably possible.

There are also rare cases, beyond our control, when the delivery company itself has a problem which causes a delay in transit. In these situations we will do our utmost to liaise with the relevant delivery company to ensure delivery is completed as swiftly as possible.

Consequential Loss for Late Deliveries

If a delivery is late, then we will provide a refund of any delivery fee that we charged you. We do not provide financial compensation to cover consequential losses, e.g. for time taken off work to receive a delivery, or if the item is intended as a gift and you have to purchase the same item from a more expensive retailer.

Description

LAUTEN AUDIO TOM MIC

The Lauten Audio Tom Mic is the world’s first large diaphragm condenser microphone custom-crafted for use on toms.

Equipped with Lauten Audio’s newly designed Supercardioid capsule and award-winning dual-bias circuitry, Tom Mic captures pure, high-definition rack and floor tom sonics with maximum impact and tone while minimizing cymbal bleed.

In addition to its tom-tailored frequency response, Tom Mic also features onboard analog sound-shaping, which allows you to musically rebalance the attack and body of any tom on any drum kit at the flip of a switch.

 

SKIP THE EQ

Tom Mic’s tom-tailored frequency response captures each rack and floor tom with drummer-perspective speed, power, and tone, making EQ an afterthought rather than a must-have.

 

TOMS, NOT CYMBALS

Lauten Audio’s bleed-blocking head design and dual bias circuitry work together to provide Tom Mic with up to 28dB of off-axis rejection. This means crisp, clear tom sounds with far less cymbal bleed than a traditional dynamic or condenser microphone.

 

28dB

OFF-AXIS REJECTION

Lauten Audio's bleed-blocking head design and dual-bias circuitry work together to provide Tom Mic with up to 28dB of off-axis rejection. This means crisp, clear tom sounds with far less cymbal bleed than a traditional dynamic or condenser microphone.

 

SUPER-POWERED

Whether stand or rim-mounted, Tom Mic’s newly designed Supercardioid capsule is hand-tuned and vibration-resistant to ensure a powerful balance of transient, body, and tone while minimizing inharmonic overtones from neighboring drums and tuning inconsistencies.

 

BUILT TO WORK

Each Tom Mic has a solid brass headframe and mildew-resistant dust filter to protect against stick hits, dust, and debris, whether in the studio or on stage.

 

FIND YOUR PLACE

Because of its unique design, Tom Mic is ideal for a wide array of placement positions while minimizing off-axis sounds. From the slap and isolation of proximity to the lifelike sonics of separation, each placement position offers a wealth of new sonic possibilities. It’s even great on resonant heads as well.

 

SWITCH IT UP

Tom Mic’s filters impact the overall performance of the microphone and play a critical role in its overall sonic versatility.

 

  • Flat High Cut – Tom Mic’s frequency response boosts from 1kHz-2kHz, dips sharply at 3kHz for snap, then rises around 5k for smack and attack. Sensitivity is also reduced from 9kHz through 14kHz to minimize the sizzle and harshness of cymbal bleed.
  • 12kHz High Cut – Reduce perceived attack from overly bright tom strikes for a slightly rounder and more balanced note. This setting is also helpful for bringing up the perceived body of a floor tom while further reducing bleed from the surrounding cymbals.
  • 5kHz High Cut – Minimize bleed in harsh environments while preserving the essential impact and tone of a tom. This setting allows you to reintroduce presence and attack through post-EQ without accentuating unwanted high-frequency elements.
  • Flat Low Cut- Allow all low-frequency information generated by a rack or floor to pass through Tom Mic’s dual-bias circuitry unaltered.
  • 80Hz Low Cut – Gently reduce low-frequency buildup while improving perceived clarity from each note. This setting enables toms to stand out in a mix without sacrificing density and low end.
  • 140Hz Low Cut – Significantly reduce low-frequency buildup while enhancing the perceived impact and clarity of each note. This setting is particularly useful in close-mic applications where toms need to assertively cut through a dense mix with precision and clarity.
