Sontronics ARIA 2 - Valve / Tube Condenser Microphone
Tax included.
Classic Tone, Modern Performance
The Sontronics ARIA 2 is a professional valve condenser microphone, hand-built in England to deliver stunning recordings with warmth, clarity, and character. Designed as a new benchmark for tube microphones, it refines the beloved original model with upgraded components and a precision-tuned frequency response that ensures what you put in is what you get out - only better. Whether you are working in a world-class studio or a private vocal booth, the ARIA 2 provides the mix-ready presence and honest performance that professionals reach for first.
The Heart of the Sound: Proprietary Capsule
At its core is a brand-new, proprietary 34mm gold-sputtered capsule developed exclusively for the ARIA 2. This innovative capsule delivers smoother highs and a richer midrange, providing a beautifully balanced and open sonic character. By capturing the full picture of a performance with such detail, the microphone reduces the need for heavy EQ, allowing you to spend more time creating and less time tweaking.

Pure Analogue Warmth: Upgraded Tube Circuitry
Inside, the ARIA 2 features an upgraded internal signal path and a European-made 12AX7/ECC83 tube. This combination achieves increased sensitivity and exceptionally low self-noise, delivering a cleaner, more dynamic signal straight out of the box. The natural compression induced by the vacuum tube helps vocals and instruments sit effortlessly in the mix with authentic analogue warmth and harmonic richness.

Every ARIA 2 is hand-assembled at Sontronics' facility on the south coast of England with meticulous attention to detail. The precision-machined body is finished in a premium matte black with golden accents and engraved badges, reflecting a commitment to both durability and refined aesthetics. Backed by an industry-leading Lifetime Warranty, it is built to be a reliable flagship for your studio for years to come.
