The Tom Mic stands as the world's first large diaphragm condenser microphone specifically engineered for tom drums, featuring Lauten Audio's cutting-edge Supercardioid capsule and award-winning dual-bias circuitry. This innovative microphone captures pure, high-definition rack and floor tom sonics with maximum impact and tone whilst minimising cymbal bleed. The tom-tailored frequency response ensures each drum is captured with drummer-perspective speed, power, and tone, making EQ an afterthought rather than a necessity and preserving the true essence of your drums.
Lauten Audio's innovative bleed-blocking head design combined with dual bias circuitry provides the Tom Mic with up to 28dB of off-axis rejection. This results in crisp, clear tom sounds with significantly less cymbal bleed compared to traditional dynamic or condenser microphones, allowing for a cleaner mix. The newly designed supercardioid capsule is both hand-tuned and vibration-resistant, ensuring a powerful balance of transient, body, and tone whilst minimising unwanted overtones from neighbouring drums and tuning inconsistencies.
Built for professional durability, each Tom Mic features a solid brass headframe and mildew-resistant dust filter that protects against stick hits, dust, and debris during both studio sessions and live performances. The unique design makes it ideal for various placement positions, minimising off-axis sounds and offering new sonic possibilities from proximity placement to separation techniques. It's also highly effective on resonant heads, providing versatility for different drumming styles and setups whilst maintaining the perfect blend of durability, precision, and professional performance.
