Summary 

 

The LS-308 is a noise rejecting, high-dynamic range microphone to be used as a problem solver in 

challenging recording situations when isolation is needed but difficult to achieve. Designed for use in 

studio, broadcast, and sound reinforcement environments when sources are in very close proximity and 

isolation of those sources is difficult; for example, a small commentators booth with multiple 

commentators, or rejecting drums from a guitar amp on a tight stage. The LS-308 is a large-diaphragm 

condenser microphone featuring exceptional off-axis frequency rejection combined with ultra-high 

dynamic range.  Constructed from high-quality components and outfitted with frequency shaping high 

and low-cut filters, the LS-308 offers excellent handling capabilities. It includes two different mounting 

options, a foam windscreen, and a road case. 

The LS-308 is a great choice for  

 

When off-axis rejection is important 

 

Highly dynamic instruments in noisy environments 

 

Close micing drums and guitars both studio and on-stage 

 

Close-quarter broadcast booths when off-axis rejection is essential 

 

Podcast and Voice-overs when off-axis rejection is essential
