This microphone blew me away, and seems to have blown you away too judging by the reaction the audience has had over the last videos. If you're looking for a Neumann TLM 103, look again. The Lauten Clarion is just....well just better.

This was amazing, Ricky. We are so glad you love the Clarion! To your question about the boost/pad switch - that is a pre-JFET circuit, so it actually affects the timbre of the mic itself, as well as your preamp (-10 is a hair warmer/+10 is a bit brighter). The slight imbalance in the shock mount is just shock band tension between the inner and outer ring. A little pulling on the bands themselves should fix that. The classic shock grind? Yeah, it's not you. It's because the ring does not have a bearing system, which has been proven to last forever. Having said that, it could be better so it should be better. We will look at it for sure.

Thank you for reviewing this bomb of a mic! I've been using a Lauten La220 and it is so so good for my bass baritone voice!! Tons of clarity and bass which can be mutually exclusive for microphones in it's price range. I've done comparison between it and a bunch of other mics that supposed to be better for lower voiced singers like the Stellar X2, X3, Senheiser MK4, EV Re-20, and the Cad M179. The Lauten 220 smoked them all to my ears, easily While I'm sure it can't compare with the Clarion in every way it is a great way to get some of that Lauten magic at a bedroom producer price.

Nice review, especially the blind test of the four mics! :)) I liked the 3rd one (Lewitt 640 TS) best in this blind audition and thought it was the clarion. And for the A/B-listening-sample of your friend singing and playing the guitar, I think the recording even sounded better unprocessed! :D But nice job anyway.

The mic blind test was brutal (for the other 3 mics that is). And honestly, this is the first time I hear a vocal mic test that sounds fantastic. I don't know if it's the mic, your voice, the post-processing, the room or probably a bit of all four, but the final result is amazing. Side note: I owned a TLM 103, and screwing the mic into the shock mount was indeed horrible too!

Sontronic in the UK are a specialist manufacturer of superb mics at good prices. Industry awards/nominations achieved for design, top components good manufacture / lifetime support. Lauten also right up there along with Royer. Great times for buying a few excellent studio mics - new classics are emerging. As for mic support, I ignore cradles and only use the complete Enhance Audio (Ireland) stand/arm/mount. Expensive but stunning effect on all mics - almost no EQ now - get the physics/acoustics right and everything else follows :)

LIke this and many of your videos👍I also like small independent companies. But I don't think you can compare Neumann/Sennheiser to AKG/AA/Lewitt. I guess Neumann took benefits from being integrated into Sennheiser, while AKG's acknowledged name fades. Neumann is now able to offer a much bigger portfolio than 20 years ago. They still have a wide range of mics and additionally offer speakers (after integrating the former speaker brand Klein+Hummel). They have always been innovators, for example by developing digital condenser mics (Solution D). BTW I recommend to take a closer look to Microtech Gefell and their story 😉

HEY! This is going to make some uncomfortable but: Lock oil or WD40. Two very small drops on opposite sides, (For WD use a QTip or napkin and clean any access.). This will stop that completely. @5:55 and saves it from any rust i guess lol

@@jer7255 whoops I meant Clarion**. Looks like I will be considering it in the near future if nothing else comes out in this price range.

The Tlm 103 anniversary edition has the shock mount. 😢

As someone who can't stand a picture that isn't hung just about perfectly (OCD much?), that few degrees the Clarion sits off plumb in the shockmount would drive me nuts.

They are in Silicon Valley, Silicone Valley is a nickname for L.A. due to the popularity of Breast implants there. Silicon is a crystal like Diamond and is the substrate used to fabricate Computer chips, whereas Silicone is an OIl, Grease, Rubber material make with some Silicon powder and other ingredients. There is a pretty big difference between computer chips and the caulk around your bathtub.

Mic 1 - smooth Mic 2 - don't like, cheap boxy Mic 3 - clear airy Mic 4 - smooth airy Wow! The OC818, Clarion 357, and TLM 103 are the big 3 for Home Studios.

love your content.. I blind tested this mic up against the OC818. I didn’t like the clarion. Disclaimer: I don’t care for U47 sounding mics. And in the UK it’s 1500 pounds to get one.. or in Dubai it’s 1200 dollars + shipping & customs.. so for us intentional folks this one is not worth it imo. There’s greater mics at that price. Lauten Audio Eden though.. that’s an amazing mic. Way better than the OC818 (as you would expect it to be).. I wish I could blind test Eden vs. Manley Ref C vs Sony C800 vs. U87 vs. C12. That would be my ultimate mic test. These are all mics I enjoyed just never tested them against each other.
