This custom-crafted work of art is equipped with Lauten Audio’s exclusive 38mm capsule, Multi-voicing® circuitry and harmonic sound shaping for an unparalleled breadth of timbres that makes picking the perfect microphone as easy as flipping a switch. From smoky and warm to modern and open, the Eden offers a vast expanse of effortlessly accessible sonic possibilities unlike any other microphone.

ONE OF A KIND CAPSULE CUSTOM-CRAFTED 38MM CAPSULE

The capsule of a microphone captures music’s most meaningful moments and converts them into electricity with relentlessly unforgiving results. Our precision-crafted 38mm capsule is one of the largest in the world — a one of a kind super-transducer tuned by hand to capture the spirit, soul and wonder of a performance with unprecedented authenticity and realism.

PREMIUM COMPONENTS

AN ELEGANT, FLEXIBLE, AND MIX-READY SOUND THAT RIVALS HISTORY’S MOST COVETED TUBE MICROPHONES

In addition to the warmth and color derived from an aged EF806 tube, the Eden is also equipped with a custom wound, US-made output transformer that puts the finishing touches on every sound that passes through its copper windings.

HARMONIC SOUND SHAPING

THREE-POSITION FILTER SECTION THAT INTERACTS WITH MULTI-VOICING

OFF

Allows the full frequency spectrum of a sound to be passed directly to the Multi-Voicing circuitry for maximum density and harmonic saturation.

SOFT

Gently reduces murkiness and any overbearing low frequencies. This is powerful when used with the Gentle selection to attain a truly vintage microphone experience.

HARD

Shifts the timbre of the microphone towards the mid-range, adding focus, accentuation and articulation and is ideal for use with the Forward selection for modern pop and R&B vocals.
