Sontronics Aria 2

The Sontronic ARIA 2 is a professional valve condenser microphone, hand-built in England, featuring a proprietary 34mm gold-sputtered capsule for exceptional warmth, clarity and dynamic range across vocals, spoken word and acoustic instruments.

Superior Design and Sound Quality

The Sontronic ARIA 2 integrates a newly developed large-diaphragm capsule designed exclusively for this model, providing a smoother and more open sonic character. Its frequency response from 20Hz to 20kHz ensures precise reproduction of every nuance, while a natural compression characteristic helps vocals sit effortlessly within a mix. The high-polarisation voltage circuitry enhances sensitivity and reduces self-noise, delivering an impressively clean and dynamic signal straight from the power supply without additional processing.

Precision and Performance

Built with upgraded internal circuitry, ARIA 2 achieves lower equivalent noise at 17dB (A-weighted) and an impressive 135dB maximum SPL, making it equally capable for delicate acoustic detail or high-volume recording environments. The cardioid polar pattern ensures accurate sound capture with controlled off-axis rejection, ideal for studio and live applications. A linear or 75Hz filter and -10dB pad provide flexibility for managing low-frequency rumble and high sound pressure levels. The included European-made 12AX7/ECC83 valve enriches harmonic content with authentic analogue warmth and natural tonal balance.

Craftsmanship and Build

Finished in a sleek matte black with golden accents and engraved badges, ARIA 2 combines refined aesthetics with durability. Supplied with the SPS-2 power supply, premium 8-pin cable, and custom-cut ABS flight case, every component reflects the same meticulous attention to quality. Designed, engineered and hand-built entirely in the UK, ARIA 2 comes backed by a lifetime warranty for complete confidence and reliability in any professional environment.
