Precision Microphone Positioning
The fully articulating arm allows for precise microphone placement, ensuring optimal sound capture during performances while the locking lever maintains stability throughout energetic sessions.
The Lauten Audio Rim Mount is a precision-engineered drum microphone mounting system designed for professional drummers and sound engineers, measuring 195mm x 95mm x 25mm and weighing just 280 grams, capable of supporting microphones up to 1.5 kg with a secure, vibration-free hold.
The Rim Mount allows engineers to position microphones with absolute accuracy, thanks to its fully articulating arm that offers complete movement freedom. Once the desired mic angle is set, a single locking lever secures the arm in place, guaranteeing reliable positioning throughout even the most energetic performances. Its compact form removes the need for bulky stands, freeing up valuable floor space around the drum kit both on stage and in the studio.
The mount’s decoupled, shock-absorbent structure isolates the microphone from the vibrations of the drum shell. This design prevents unwanted resonances, buzzes, and rattles that can compromise clarity, enabling pure, focused recordings. The result is a cleaner capture of transients and tonal detail—essential for modern recording and live reinforcement.
Engineered with a non-marring contact system, the Rim Mount ensures no damage to drum shells, hoops, or heads. Unlike metal clamps that can scratch or dent surfaces, its smooth, protective grip keeps your kit pristine, even with frequent repositioning or transport between sessions and venues.
The Lauten Audio Rim Mount adapts to most drum rim types, from traditional steel hoops to modern suspension mounts, accommodating rims up to 35mm in height, 6mm in lip width, and 12mm offset. It securely supports a wide range of microphones, from compact dynamics such as the SM57 to larger units like the MD421 and C414. This makes it a dependable choice for both studio engineers and live sound professionals needing a stable and adaptable mic placement solution.
Designed for intensive professional use, the Rim Mount maintains stability under load, ensuring precise microphone positioning without sagging or slippage. The unit’s durable build, compact portability, and reliable locking mechanism make it a trusted choice in demanding environments.
