Overview
The LS-208 is made for recording in real rooms. You talk or sing into the end like a broadcast mic, and it ignores air conditioning, room echo and the band around you far better than a normal studio condenser, while keeping all the clarity you buy a condenser for.
That makes it a winner for church livestream desks, podcasts, voiceover and vocals in untreated rooms, and it's tough enough for guitar amps and percussion too. Low cut and high cut switches tidy up the sound at the source, and it comes with a flight case, shock mount, swivel mount and windscreen.

Forefront Tip
The LS-208 needs a bit more gain than most condensers, so plan on around 60 dB of preamp gain for spoken word. Add the Schulze-Brakel windscreen for close vocal and podcast work.
