TOM MIC LS-508, Large-Diaphragm FET Condenser Microphone made explicitly for use on toms with a highly focused supercardioid capsule, dual-bias FET circuitry
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.
Features
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.
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.
