Get That Magic Tube Condenser Sound with This Mic!

The Lauten Audio Horizon Tube Microphone gives you the great sound you'd expect from a quality tube condenser mic, and much more! The Horizon Tube Microphone comes complete with a power supply and plenty of output, so you don't have to depend on high-dollar preamps just to get enough gain. You also get a 2-step pad (10dB and 20dB), so it's easy to use this mic on loud sources. It's built to give you years of great performance, thanks to its robust design. You also get a hard mount, a shockmount, a premium cable, and a quality flight case with your Horizon Tube Microphone.

Lauten Audio Horizon Tube Microphone at a Glance:
  • Accessories to suit your needs
  • You can use it onstage, too
  • Built to last
  • Plenty of output and flexible features

Accessories to suit your needs
Each microphone comes with a shock mount and hard mount to meet the challenges of any studio. The hard mount is perfect for tight spaces or close micing. The shock mount reduces excessive noise caused by foot tapping or outside noise. You get added versatility from the shock mounted capsule. This reduces external vibrations no matter which mount you use.

You can use it onstage, too
Think you can't use a large diaphragm tube mic on stage? Think again! The Horizon tube microphone has proven to be an excellent microphone for live sound recording. With superb off-axis rejection, the bleed from other instruments is minimized. Multiple mounting options make the Horizon easy to place. The mounts and the shock-mounted capsule eliminate noise problems often found with other microphones.

Plenty of output and flexible features
With approximately 10dB higher output, you won't need to rely on expensive preamplifiers to achieve great sound. Two attenuation choices reduce amplitude by 10 or 20 decibels with no sound distortion. These features help you achieve superior results on a large variety of instruments and voices.

Built to last
Hold the Horizon Tube Microphone in your hand, and you can feel the quality. Built from a solid piece of brass, the body is extremely rugged. The lollipop-style head is designed to withstand a hard lick from a drum stick. A robust build quality is necessary to handle years of studio use and protect the premium electronics inside.

Internally, the Horizon Tube Microphone features a carefully constructed capsule which accurately captures sound waves. The military grade vacuum tube generates a fantastic tone. Premium capacitors and a precision-wound output transformer offer exceptional performance and clarity.

A great multi-purpose condenser

by Christian Logaglio from Naples, FL
April 14, 2012
Music Background: Pro Musician, Home Recording
As a relative newcomer to the world of recording, the Lauten Audio Horizon has been a fantastic addition to my home setup. Even in a room not suitable for sound recording, the Horizon produces clean a... read more [+]nd clear results with little need of processing or extra coloring. I have used it for vocals, acoustic steel string and acoustic nylon string guitars and have been very pleased with the tone in all three situations. Coming with a hard and shock mount as well as a carrying case is a great bonus. Overall, a great product! close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Stuart Niven
The Lauten Audio Horizon LT-321 is a wake-up call! It sounds so present and articulate on vocals it makes the urgency to EQ and compress simply disapear! It sounds like a record! On acoustic guitar, it captures all of the harmonic and tonal content and puts the sound right there in front of you almost making your job easier. The Horizon should not be overlooked, whether this is your first venture into a higher end "all purpose" microphone or, another one for your collection, it shines!
Mike Conyers
A great tube microphone with luscious vibe and rich tone, the Horizon is starting to make waves in the urban music circles. The two-step pad can be a session-saver, and including both a shockmount and a hardmount is awesome! If you are looking for a new primary vocal mic or looking to add signature tube sound to your arsenal, this is what you need!

Our Customers Say...

I can talk to my Sales Engineer about any piece of equipment, and he always steers me in the right direction. He truly knows what he's talking about, and he never tries to over-sell me on anything. If he worked in the Nashville area, I'd probably owe him about 20 dinners by now!
