We are thrilled by the latest review in the January 2026 issue of Professional Audio. Under the headline "Boutique microphone at a budget price", Harald Wittig took a close look at our new L1+, and the verdict could hardly have been better.
Made in Germany at an unbeatable price
The review highlights the rare fusion of boutique German craftsmanship and exceptional value. Professional Audio praised the microphone for its detailed, high-resolution sound and technical performance, noting that it easily rivals far more expensive benchmarks. The final verdict: a true top-tier microphone that performs at least twice above its price category.
Jaw-dropping specifications
From a technical perspective, the L1+ operates at the very highest level. Professional Audio was especially impressed by its exceptionally low self-noise of just 4 dB-A - easily outperforming significantly more expensive reference microphones and ensuring an ultra-clean signal for any session. The review also praises the microphone's remarkable impulse response: paired with a lightning-fast impulse response of 14 microseconds, transient detail is captured with pure, articulate precision.
From acoustic guitars to demanding vocal takes, the L1+ delivers stunning resolution and effortless clarity. It gives lower vocal ranges articulate body, while keeping the top end smooth and free of harsh sibilance. It is an all-around reliable studio tool whose pure, uncolored character Professional Audio aptly likened to fresh spring water.
We want to extend our heartfelt thanks to the team at Professional Audio for this outstanding review and for rating the L1+ "Very Good - Outstanding".
