We offer a wide variety of products, and the following precautions apply to some of them. Please note that they are listed for all products.
【Voltage Compatibility】Designed for Japanese voltage (90-110V). Using with a different voltage may cause malfunction.
【Plug Type】Japanese plugs (A or B type). Use a conversion adapter if needed.
【Transformers & Adapters】Transformers adjust voltage; adapters only change plug shape. Using an adapter without a transformer may damage the product.
【Liability】We are not responsible for damages caused by improper use, such as using the product without a transformer.
More than meets the eye. LA-120's onboard sound shaping eliminates the need to change microphones and waste time. Jump from crisp to smooth to ribbon-like with a simple switch. Take the edge off harsh overheads or warm up a bright piano. Add picking articulation to an acoustic guitar or perfectly capture a string quartet.
Custom Capsule Our hand-tuned 17mm capsule delivers transparent, lively sound with a musical blend of transient response and natural compression. This makes the LA-120 ideal for use with drum overheads, percussion, acoustic guitar, and piano.
OMNI & Cardioid Polar Pattern Cardioid capsules focus each microphone's attention directly where it points, reducing the overall sound of the room during recording. The omnidirectional capsule naturally captures room sounds and other off-axis instrumentation, delivering colorless authenticity.
Transformer-less Transparency The LA-120 signal path is hand-embedded with high-resolution, low-distortion polypropylene capacitors and resistors, and is built around American-made JFETs for articulating, colorless, and shock-resistant performance.
High SPL Assist (Optional) We designed the LA-120 to be great in many applications, but we recommend using it loud. An optional inline pad allows you to take full advantage of the LA-120s' dynamic range and depth with high SPL sources such as toms and snare drums.
