Designed in California but made where? China?

Darrell Thorp recording Brad Wilk is a strong, strong marketing move. These Lauten videos are great.

How is this not hypercardioid?

How is this not hypercardioid? I think it's second order cardioid or something like that, no? def curious but unless i find one used for cheaper, i'm gonna pass for now. they also look kinda huge, so placement seems like it would be difficult. |

I've been using the Earthworks DM20 on snare and really enjoying it. Very small form factor and the spill from other drums sounds like... drums.
This looks cool too. But definitely kind of chunky.

How is this not hypercardioid? I believe it's cardioid-3, the same pattern deployed in their LS308 tom microphones that I demo'ed here recently. Cardioid 3 is like a tennis ball of pickup straight in front of the grill of the microphone and rejects off-axis sound. ( Like an SM7b with usable output and doesn't sound like crap? ) |

But can it beat my KM105 on snare?
And why do companies use the WORST sounding snares to show off their "snare sound"?

Shall I jump? The demos are crap. I want to hear some comparisons.

The isolation is the only selling point. I have better sounding mics for drums, like e22's. |

The isolation is the only selling point. I have better sounding mics for drums, like e22's. I really don't mind bleed. With the exception of a handful of drummers over the years, bleed in the snare mics has never been a problem for me. Then I got all the FabFilter plugins and started getting a little heavier handed with Saturn and harmonically driving certain frequency areas. Really addicting, but becomes a phase nightmare with bleed sometimes. With more rock oriented drums sounds, I've been looking for some condenser options with less bleed that I can mutilate a bit more. I was about to just order one yesterday, but wasn't all that impressed with any of the demos. If I didn't have a lot on my plate right now, I would have reached out to Lauten about doing a demo on one. I don't have any drum sessions for a month or so at least, so I might revisit this or just order one when it's getting closer to a drum session and see how it does. |

It has the same MSRP as the Beyer M201, but it's a condenser with the same general idea of the Josephson E22s at 1/4 the price. I would love some comparisons.
Also, in the demo video, why bother recording to tape? A better snare and mic setup into a Digi 002 would have sounded better.

Shall I jump? The demos are crap. I want to hear some comparisons. I agree. I thought the demo was very underwhelming to the point of a disservice. The saving grace was the demonstration of isolation. |

I'm sure it's cool, but between a M201, e22s and Sanken CU-55, I'm good.
I'm curious about the Altec lipstick tube mics - love what Albini got on Don Caballero records - but that's a little esoteric and spendy at this point.

Ok if you’re going to be all about the rear rejection show me real polar plots vs frequency, not some diagram of perfectly smooth cardiod! I really want to see the actual pattern, when the whole selling point is rejection.
