Today, I have the Lauten LA-220 FET Condenser Mic in the Audio Hotline Studio! In this review I also include a GIANT comparison including 7 microphones.

MICS INCLUDED IN COMPARISON: Lauten LA220, RODE NT1, RODE NT1A, LEWITT LCT 440 PURE, 512 AUDIO SKYLIGHT, AUDIO-TECHNICA AT2035, TANNOY / BEHRINGER TM1

I want to give a big thank you to Lauten for sending this mic over and allowing me to do an honest review of their microphone.

Check out the testing and audio samples and see if this is right for you! Every person has different expectations of audio gear. If the features are what you need, and you like the sound, then it is right for you!

Thanks for watching the Audio Hotline! I'll see you Audio Nerds next time!

TWO THINGS I WANT TO MENTION:
1. I AM ABSOLUTE GARBAGE AT SAYING LAUTEN CONSISTENTLY, MY TONGUE GETS CONFUSED OR SOMETHING.
2. On the mic and in the documentation their mic name says "LA220" but online it says "LA-220"... I am not sure which is right, probably doesn't matter when you are searching it, but it is odd.
