Today, family-owned microphone maker, Lauten Audio, announced its release of Snare Mic \u2014 a purpose-built FET condenser microphone designed explicitly for use on snare drums. At only 4.2\u201d in size, Snare Mic is optimized for use in small spaces while delivering the impact, nuance, and distinct characteristics of a snare drum without the drawbacks of traditional solutions. Snare Mic\u2019s carefully tuned frequency response, ultra-high dynamic range, and rejection of up to 28dB of off-axis sounds ensure professional, mix-ready results straight out of the box.<\/p>\n

Snare Mic is available now for $398 US Street \/ MSRP $549.<\/p>\n

Celebrating The Snare<\/strong>
\nWith its release of Snare Mic, Lauten Audio has launched SNARE \u2013 a four-part documentary series that reconnects legendary drummers with the snare drums they chose to define what would become the future of music. Episode 1 features Brad Wilk [Rage Against the Machine, Audioslave, Black Sabbath] and 10x Grammy-winning Engineer Darrell Thorp on location at Dave Grohl and Foo Fighters\u2019 Studio 606.<\/p>\n

\u201cSnare drums are the lifeblood of music. When you\u2019re in a room with one, you don\u2019t just hear it. You feel it in your bones. That sensation is REALLY difficult to capture, which is why people throw so many microphones, post-processing, and even sound replacement at snare drums,\u201d said Lauten Audio President Trent Thompson. \u201cOur goal with Snare Mic was to make that process easy \u2014 one microphone that captures the totality of a snare drum without needing to do all of those other things.\u201d<\/p>\n

Massive sound, minimized bleed<\/strong>
\nSnare Mic is built from the ground up for getting the optimal snare drum sound in any scenario where miking drums is required. Snare Mic\u2019s compact, hand-tuned capsule and wide frequency response provides enveloping, three-dimensional sound, while its superior off-axis rejection keeps that sound clear and focused with optimal phase coherence so that it can fit more easily into a mix. This enables Snare Mic to easily replace a traditional multi-mic setup while still capturing every nuance of a snare hit \u2013 from the attack of the initial impact to the resonant decay of the drum head. Snare Mic\u2019s onboard HP and LP filters also provide additional tone shaping at the source to make it easier than ever to dial in the exact sound required without turning any knobs at a control desk.<\/p>\n

As with all Lauten Audio microphones, Snare Mic has been engineered for ease of use, long-term durability, and reliability. At 4.2\u201din length it fits effortlessly within even the most densely populated of drum kits and works equally well in both stand and rim-mounted applications. Snare Mic\u2019s solid brass headframe, vibration-resistant capsule design, and mildew-resistant dust filter protect it from stick hits and debris, ensuring it will continue to provide incredible snare drum sounds for the long haul.<\/p>\n
