Lauten Audio FC-387 Atlantis Review / Test
Today I review a mic that uses a 1.25" capsule, the Lauten Audio FC387 Atlantis. This mic has a robust bass and low mids section, and 3 voicings that offer quite different top ends from vintage and dark to modern and articulate. It does suffer from resonance so if you're using it in a situation where you may bump it, you will have to be careful. If you are looking for a mic to use in small areas it may also not be the right choice for you because it's a big ol boy.
