Cardioid Valve Condenser Microphone=

The Sontronics ARIA 2 is a fixed-cardioid valve condenser microphone engineered for vocals and spoken word. Its smooth, precise sound is designed to sit naturally in a mix, while premium-grade electronics and a European-made 12AX7/ECC83S tube form the signal path. Beyond voice recording, ARIA 2 is recommended for percussion, drum overheads, piano, acoustic guitar, woodwind and solo strings, particularly cello.

A 20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency response, switchable -10 dB pad and 75 Hz low-cut filter provide recording flexibility. ARIA 2 has a maximum SPL of 135 dB. This US version includes a 115/230 V SPS-2 power supply and does not require phantom power.
