Description
Throughout history, drummers have had relatively numerous options for tom mics. However, the best ones all contain the same magic formula: excellent off-axis rejection, high SPL handling, and wide frequency range. Now, Lauten Audio is here to throw its hat in the ring with the aptly named Tom Mic, the first large-diaphragm FET condenser microphone built specifically for toms. It may also be the last tom mic you need, considering the Tom Mic’s -28dB of off-axis rejection, more than 135dB SPL handling, and 20Hz to 20kHz frequency response. Plus, excellent onboard sound shaping capabilities — three high cuts and three low cuts — ensure that the Lauten Audio Tom Mic will sound fantastic on any rack or floor tom. The Tom Mic’s diminutive size (a little over 5 inches with clip) lets it fit easily on any drum set, and its solid brass headframe plus mildew-resistant dust filter protects it from stick hits, drumstick wood shavings, and much more. Finally, a vibration-resistant capsule means that the Tom Mic is ready to be mounted either on your drum’s rim or on a mic stand.
