Description

The LS-208 is a professional front-address large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for studio, live, broadcast recording and sound reinforcement. The LS-208 combines the handling capabilities of a dynamic microphone with the recording qualities of a professional high-end studio condenser microphone.

The LS-208 does not require pre-attenuation but can handle 135dB SPL due to its circuit design. Highly unique for a microphone of its type is its ability to capture a full 120db of dynamic range without the use of internal or external pre-attenuation. This gives engineers the ability to capture brilliant recordings of highly dynamic instruments and environments without sacrificing sound quality.

The LS-208 also features excellent off-axis rejection. It will provide excellent rejection of off-axis voices, instruments, crowds, etc., making it great for live radio broadcast and podcasts, or for multi-instrument, live-studio and on-stage recording or sound reinforcement.

The Independent, multi-stage, high and low-cut filters help engineers balance recordings at the microphone and aid in successfully capturing the performance reducing the need for mixing. The 2-stage low-cut aids in reducing low-end rumble, muddiness, and proximity effect. The 2-stage high-cut helps tame bright instruments and high frequencies.

The LS-208 is fully accessorized and ships with the following.

 Spider-shock mount with threaded nut and adjustable elbow joint.  Hard mount with threaded nut and adjustable elbow joint.  Foam windscreen to protect transducer element from plosives, wind, and debris  Hard case that fits all accessories and is built for the rigors of the road.

Unlike any microphone of its kind on the market today, the LS-208 offers excellent off-axis rejection and dynamic-range capabilities combined with studio quality sound to achieve exceptional results in any recording environment.
