The ARIA 2 is a professional tube condenser microphone, handcrafted in England, delivering stunning vocal recordings with warmth, clarity, and character. Whether in a studio, vocal booth, or live room, the ARIA 2 gives singers, voice artists, musicians, and engineers the confidence to capture performances exactly as they are meant to be heard. At its core is a newly developed proprietary 34mm gold-sputtered capsule, designed exclusively for this model, producing a smooth, open sound with balanced mids and detailed highs. This makes it ideal for vocals, spoken word, and acoustic instruments, ensuring natural and accurate sound reproduction. An improved internal circuit design provides higher sensitivity, lower self-noise, and a cleaner, more dynamic signal right out of the box.

New for 2014 is our Sontronics ARIA valve/tube cardioid condenser microphone that has been developed and designed by Sontronics founder and designer Trevor Coley specifically for getting the best from your vocals. The Sontronics ARIA will give you stunning, beautiful results on every recording, thanks to its silky-smooth characteristics, its accurate response and our trademark Sontronics high-frequency roll-off. Housed inside the chromed grille is a large, 1.07-inch, edge-terminated capsule that captures all the detail and subtleties of any male or female vocal (sung or spoken) while the hand-selected European 12AX7/ECC83 tube lends a character that you'd expect to find in a classic vintage valve mic. For that extra level of control, the accompanying SPS-2 power supply unit boasts pad (0, -10dB) and filter (linear, 75Hz) switches as well as a tube-ready LED, letting you know when the mic is warmed up and at its best to record. Inside the unit is a pro-quality, medical-grade electricity filter to ensure that the power supply is pure and interference-free. During the 12 months of ARIA's development, it has been beta-tested by top artists and musicians including producer/writer Paul Epworth (Adele, Florence & The Machine, Paul McCartney), singer/songwriter PJ Harvey, and also several engineers at Abbey Road Studios, all of whom now admit they can't live without their ARIAs! These and other users have all told us that ARIA's sound and quality is easily matched to mics (both modern and vintage) that cost ten times more. The result is a go-to microphone that's a must-have if you're serious about achieving the best results from vocals but that will also give beautiful results on piano, acoustic guitar, cello and other instruments as well as voiceover and broadcast. Sontronics ARIA really will take your breath away! The ARIA microphone is supplied in its own velvet-lined wooden box, which comes in an aluminium flightcase together with its elastic spider-style shockmount, a ring mount and the SPS-2 power supply, connecting cable and power lead. Like all our mics, Sontronics ARIA is covered by our no-nonsense LIFETIME WARRANTY.

SONTRONICS MERCURY valve/tube condenser microphone Launched at the 2017 NAMM Show, our new Sontronics MERCURY is a premium quality valve/tube condenser microphone designed to sound stunning on whatever you're recording, from solo instruments, percussion and vocals to ensemble and orchestral work, overhead and room miking, voiceover and more. Designed by Sontronics’ founder and designer Trevor Coley, and developed alongside UK artists and producers as well as the engineers at Abbey Road Studios, the MERCURY is hand-built here in our UK Sontronics HQ. Taking things up a step even further than our multi-award-winning ARIA, the Sontronics MERCURY employs the highest grade components (most of which have less than 1% tolerance, unheard of for a microphone at this price) and a hand-selected and tested European-made ECC81/12AT7 vacuum tube, all of which result in absolutely impeccable results, whatever application you're using it for. The MERCURY gives you an infinite choice of polar patterns from omnidirectional to figure-of-eight and everything in between via the sweepable control knob on the front of the power supply. The mic also boasts pad (0, -10dB) and low-cut filter (linear, 75Hz) controls, a professional power supply with medical-grade interference filter and boasts incredibly low self-noise for a valve microphone (less than 12dB A-weighted), making this a must-have mic for any studio serious about achieving the best quality results.

This high-quality large-diaphragm condenser microphone with a fixed cardioid pattern is designed for professional applications and delivers precise sound reproduction. Its JFET circuitry ensures a natural and transparent sound with excellent detail. With extremely low self-noise of just 9 dB and high sensitivity, it is well-suited for demanding recording environments. It is ideal for vocals, acoustic instruments, and room recordings, consistently delivering clear and balanced results. Handcrafted in England, the microphone offers robust construction and reliable performance for long-term studio use.
