An innovative tom drum microphone delivering focused tone and onboard sound-shaping.
The Lauten TOM mic is the first large diaphragm condenser microphone designed specifically for capturing the true tone of toms. With its supercardioid polar pattern and tailored frequency response, the TOM mic gives you huge, resonant tom sounds with minimal cymbal bleed. Onboard analog sound shaping allows you to perfectly tweak the attack and body of any rack or floor tom.
Hear Your Toms Like Never Before
The TOM Mic's specialized frequency response is engineered to reproduce the depth, resonance and power of your toms with stunning realism. Its slight boost around 1kHz–2kHz adds crisp attack, while a dip at 3kHz provides snap. A rise at 5kHz delivers satisfying smack and punch. While sensitivity is rolled off above 9kHz–14kHz to reduce harsh, sizzly cymbal overtones. The result is a sound with the speed, impact and tone that matches what a drummer hears from the throne.
Defeat Cymbal Bleed
Lauten Audio's innovative head design and dual-bias circuitry provide up to 28dB of off-axis rejection, allowing the TOM Mic to capture your toms in isolation. Its supercardioid polar pattern is highly directional, picking up sound primarily from the front while strongly rejecting noise from the sides and rear. This means you'll get tight, focused tom sounds with far less cymbal bleed than standard condenser or dynamic mics.
Craft Your Signature Tom Tone
The TOM Mic gives you the flexibility to shape your perfect tom sound thanks to onboard low cut, high cut and pad switches. Choose between flat, 80Hz–140Hz low cut filters to tighten up your low end. Select a flat, 5kHz or 12kHz high cut filter to add air and openness or tame overly bright tones. These powerful yet intuitive controls make it easy to tune the TOM Mic to your drums, playing style and personal sonic preferences.
Roadworthy and Studio-Ready
Despite its specialized design, the TOM Mic is a rugged, professional-grade mic ready for both live and studio use. Its solid brass frame can withstand the impacts of drumsticks and drops, while a mildew-resistant dust filter protects the capsule. The included articulating swivel mount provides secure, flexible positioning. For drummers and engineers in search of huge, resonant tom tones with minimal hassle, the Lauten TOM Mic delivers.
