Best combination of tone, warmth and presence I've encountered. *by A***R on May 9, 2022* Chose this mic over Telefunken TF29, Vanguard, U87 clone, 251 clone, etc... It has a really nice warmth and presence. Extremely well made, filter choices and more. Very happy with this purchase. I do rock, pop vocals.. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Overall best underrated microphone in the industry!! *by K***N on September 21, 2020* When the thought came up about opening @cmp_studios_ a production recording studio in the Bay Area, Ca, one thing was in mind... QUALITYWe wanted a vocal chain that would be considered an industry standard due to the clientele we were catering to. The first piece of the chain I was interested in was a microphone and I’ve always been interested in a C800. So, I reached out to my good friend and dealer @brycentenial from #bulldogCPU to see if he could locate one for me...Immediately, I was steered away and introduced to @lautenaudio flagship microphone, The Eden LT-386. It’s got the clarity and presence I was looking for but with the added bottom and thickness. With the added Multi-Voicing switch, it really sounds amazing on anything! Now this microphone goes everywhere with me, and will put this up against the C800 and any other mics in the β€œother guys” locker any day 😈-Jantzen PatagueCMP Studios | Chief Audio Engineer ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Versatile and Luscious *by B***N on February 22, 2019* I've put this mic up against a $25,000 C12, and my clients couldn't tell the difference. It's truly amazing. The three distinct circuit paths/voicings are fantastic. This gives you options for dark singers, normal singers, and bright singers. Male and female, etc. You can't go wrong with this mic. ## Frequently Bought Together - Lauten Audio Clarion FC-357 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone - Amazon Basics XLR Male to Female Microphone Cable for Speaker or PA System, All Copper Conductors, 6MM PVC Jacket, 6 Foot, Black - Amazon Basics Adjustable Boom Arm Height Microphone Stand with Tripod Base, Up to 85.75 Inches - Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/16309922-clarion-fc-357-large-diaphragm-condenser-microphone](https://www.desertcart.be/products/16309922-clarion-fc-357-large-diaphragm-condenser-microphone) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-04-22*
