The LS-308 Noise Rejecting, High-Dynamic Range Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone from Lauten Audio is a cardioid microphone with 270° off-axis frequency rejection that is designed for use in studio, broadcast, and sound reinforcement environments. It can be used to capture audio when sources—drums, guitars, vocals—are in very close proximity and when isolation of those sources is difficult.

The LS-308 microphone is constructed from high-quality components and outfitted with frequency-shaping high- and low-cut filters. It is powered by 48V phantom power and equipped with a 3-pin XLR connector. The capsule is internally shock-mounted and includes a removable swing-arm mount with 135° of movement, a hard mount with threaded nut and adjustable elbow joint, a foam windscreen, and a hard case that fits all the accessories.

Q: 3. Sony has three high resolution XLR microphones available: The EMC-100N, EMC-100U, and the C-100. I assume the C-100 is not good for field recording, so is either the EMC-100U or EMC-100N good for field recording? Alternately, are there any similar caliber microphones that are good for high resolution audio for field use?

A: It depends on what you intend to record. The EMC-100N is an omnidirectional mic, so if you intend to record a group of people or soundscape, that would be a good choice. The EMC-100U on the other hand is a cardioid pattern mic, so very good for single-subject or narrow-field recording. The C-100 is not really for field recording, more for studio work like voice over. A good choice for a mic that can do both is the Sony ECM-680S which is a switchable M/S Stereo mic that can be switched to unidirectional. https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/514507-REG/Sony_ECM_680S_ECM_680S_M_S_Stereo_Shotgun.html
