What a great overview. You covered everything I could ever want to know about this mic. Except for how it sounds on a dog eating a banana… which is valuable to know.

@@randyrektor of course! I have the LS-208 as well. Great mic! All Lauten Audio mics are fantastic. I have several. You seem to be a fellow Canadian. Also, I’m detecting an Ontario accent there. Maybe north of Toronto? Peterborough? I’m in the Niagara Area, myself. Nice to meet you!

Oh that’s awesome! This is my first mic from them and I’ve been blown away. Probably my favourite mic in my collection just for how unique it is. Also dang, you’ve got a keen ear haha! I’m in the London area :) nice to meet a fellow Canadian audio nerd

@@randyrektor I know what you mean! I’ve got the LA-320, FC-387 Atlantis, and a pair of the LA-120 SDC mics, along with the 208. They don’t make any crappy mics. I’ll soon be reviewing The Eden on my channel. Can’t wait for that one. I love Lauten Audio - and just like you say in your video, they’re great people and a family company. And you’re right. I’m an audio nerd. I think us audio nerds need to stick together. ✊🏻🤓

Sound quality is only one part of a mic. The huge selling point for me is the internal shock mount. There’s lots of LDC’s you wouldn’t want to hand hold but I think you can on this one, right?
@randyrektor

Interesting question! I haven’t tried myself, but I move my boom arm without any significant noises. Between the internal shock, external shock, and a nice boom arm, it’s near silent

What a good video, I am between choosing the Lauten and the Sony C80, which would be better to record voices, guitars in an untreated room acoustically?
@randyrektor

I don’t have any experience with a c80, but I am wildly impressed with the versatility of this Lauten mic! As long as both are cardioid, they will function nearly identically in untreated spaces.

Aesthetically speaking, looks are everything and for me, I don't like the fact you can see the cheap toggle switches when you look at the mic. They could have put them near the shock mount or at the rear of the mic out of site. Also, the windscreen looks cheap and isn't long enough for my taste.

It’s definitely a premium product. I believe it’s around $550 USD at the time of this video. I think it’s absolutely worth the money. To be candid, there aren’t a lot of competitors in this space (front-address condenser designed with broadcast audio in mind). I think a lot of people will compare it against the SM7b because of the form factor, which is fair, and in which I think this mic greatly outperforms. I’d like to shoot it out against other condenser mics in future vids. It’s certainly an interesting option.

I do love the SM7b, but I also believe it’s wildly overhyped for what it does. I think there are a lot of mics out there that offer more features with better sound quality.. especially for the price. But good on them for riding the streaming/podcast hype! Cant blame em :P

@@randyrektor like a famous singer, you often hear her, you will love her. If I buy a new microphone, I will buy sm7b because it will help me to get more subscribers. About Lauten Audio LS208 is the sound the same as sm7b??? If they are the same 100% maybe I buy Lauten Audio LS208 too.
