Lauten Audio is selling five limited edition LT-386 microphones for cancer research

Fans of Lauten Audio now have a rare opportunity to snag a quality mic, and benefit cancer research at the same time. The company recently took to Reverb.com, where it started an auction of five limited-edition versions of its Eden LT-386 tube microphones. These five particular mics sport a ‘pink cerakote’ design, including all the same internals and specs as the regularly manufactured LT-386. Each microphone is listed on Reverb at $3,599 — and while this price is substantial, Lauten certainly has a reputation for its ultra-high quality designs.

Additionally, 100% the gross proceeds of this sale will be distributed to the following charities: the ARMC Foundation Pink Ribbon Fund, the Cholangiocarcinoma Foundation, the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, and the Sarcoma Alliance. We’ll detail a bit more about this microphone below, and if you find yourself convinced to buy, you can do so at this link here.

Lauten Audio Eden LT-386 Microphone

The Lauten Audio Eden LT-386 is an ultra-high quality large diaphragm tube mic that promises different tonal qualities instantly. Users can change this multi-voicing effect using an installed switch to flip between its ‘gentle,’ ‘neutral,’ or ‘forward’ settings. The gentle setting delivers a dark and sultry feel with vintage qualities, where the ‘neutral’ setting is smooth and earthy with a natural balance of sibilance. Finally, the ‘forward’ position delivers a bolder, and present approach without too much harshness. Eden LT-386’s diaphragm contains Lauten’s exclusive 38mm capsule housed in a brass enclosure, with a nickel-plated crown.

When in use, the Eden LT-386 can pick up signal in either cardioid, figure-8, or omnidirectional settings. Between this, and its multi-voicing capabilities onboard, the LT-386 seems to be a great go-to microphone for versatility. Each unit purchased ships out with its own flight case and power supply, with included 5-pin and IEC cables for easy hookup. Of course, we’d encourage anybody interested to first check out the Reverb listing above so the proceeds can go straight to good causes.
