Lauten Audio, the California mic company known for its boutique craftsmanship and honest sound, will be making its presence felt at the 2025 UK Drum Show, and they’re bringing more than just gear. Attendees can expect a hands-on, ears-on experience as the company sets up real drum kits with their microphones ready to go, letting visitors hear what their gear really sounds like in action.
Hear It. Don’t Just Read About It.
At most shows, microphones are either sitting behind glass or showcased through slick recordings. Lauten is going a different route. Their booth will feature fully mic’d kits with live players giving you the chance to hear how their mics respond: raw, unfiltered, and in real-time.
Whether it’s a jazz ride pattern or a hard rock snare crack, this is about letting the sound do the talking. It’s not just gear on display, it’s gear in motion.
Mics Made for the Job
Lauten’s microphones are built with musicality in mind. They don’t just capture sound, they translate feel. Known for their work in both studio and stage setups, Lauten’s Horizon, Series Black, and Signature mics have become go-to tools for engineers looking for warmth without sacrificing detail.
On display will be two of their standout pieces:
The LS-208, a large-diaphragm dynamic mic, is ideal for tight drum miking, delivering clarity without harshness.
The Atlantis FC-387 is a multi-voicing condenser microphone that can adapt to different drum setups, from close snare work to overheads.
These mics aren’t just for big studios either; they’ve gained fans among home recordists and independent producers who want pro results without needing perfect rooms.
Real Talk with Real People
One of the best parts of the Lauten booth? You get face time with the folks who actually build the mics. No scripts, no buzzwords, just honest conversations about what works, what doesn’t, and how to make the most of your setup.
Got a small room and too much cymbal bleed? Struggling to get punch out of your toms? Lauten’s team has heard it all and will be on hand to help troubleshoot or offer tips that can actually make a difference.
Made for Today’s Musicians
Recording drums has changed. More musicians are working from home, building hybrid setups, and juggling creative roles. Lauten’s approach fits that reality, giving players and engineers gear that’s flexible, reliable, and built to capture what matters most: the performance.
So if you’re headed to the UK Drum Show, make sure to drop by their booth. You’ll walk away with more than just a product brochure; you’ll leave with an idea of what your drums could sound like and how to get there.
