Lauten Audio - Rim Mount

The Lauten Audio Rim Mount is an innovative microphone mounting system designed to optimise the positioning of microphones on drums, while protecting the instrument and simplifying workflow in the studio or on stage. It is particularly suited to specific drum microphones such as the Lauten Audio Snare Mic and Tom Mic, but its universal design means it will work with almost any drum kit.

Design and features:

Full Articulation System: The Rim Mount features a fully articulated arm, offering maximum flexibility to precisely position the microphone in relation to the snare or tom. This allows you to experiment with different sound pickups and find the ideal point to capture the desired timbre.
Secure, shock-absorbing mounting: The clamping system is designed with teeth that grip the drum circle firmly without transmitting unwanted resonances (such as ringing or buzzing) to the microphone. Its overall design dampens drum vibrations, ensuring a clean signal.
Battery protection: The Rim Mount actively protects the drum, ring and skins from scratches and damage that can occur with less well-designed mic clamps. This attention to detail is crucial to preserving the integrity of high-end instruments.
Intelligent construction: The design of the stand avoids contact with the drumhead, preventing problems with detuning or unintentional sound dampening.
Extensive compatibility: Although optimised for Lauten Audio Snare Mic and Tom Mic, the Rim Mount can accommodate other microphones weighing up to 1.5 kg (3.3 LBS). It is compatible with circles up to 35 mm high, a maximum lip width of 6 mm and a maximum offset of 12 mm.
Benefits for the user :

Optimal Microphone Positioning: Allows precise and stable microphone placement, essential for capturing the desired sound from each drum element. No more "sagging" or moving mics during performance.
Space-saving and tidy: By eliminating the need for multiple mic stands, the Rim Mount frees up space around the drum kit, making installation cleaner and quicker, particularly useful in small studios or on crowded stages.
Bleed reduction: Precise mic positioning helps to minimise bleed from cymbals and other drums, making subsequent mixing much easier.
Durability and Reliability: Robust construction and a 3-year limited warranty underline Lauten Audio's confidence in the reliability of its product, even under the rigours of professional use.
