A next-generation valve microphone for vocals, voice and instruments
Poole, England – 01/11/25 – British microphone manufacturer Sontronics is proud to announce the release of ARIA 2, a completely redesigned valve condenser microphone for vocals, voiceover and acoustic instruments. The new model builds on the legacy of the original ARIA, one of Sontronics’ most successful and best-loved microphones, used in studios around the world by artists including Adele and Ed Sheeran.
“ARIA was one of our most-loved microphones, but we knew we could push things even further,” said Miles, Product Manager at Sontronics. “With ARIA 2, we’ve retained the soul of the original while refining every element of its design and performance.”
What’s New in ARIA 2
At the heart of ARIA 2 is a brand new large-diaphragm capsule, developed in-house to deliver a smoother, more open sound with beautifully balanced mids and detailed high frequencies. This new capsule captures vocals and instruments with clarity and warmth, making it ideal for studio use.
The upgraded internal circuitry has been tuned for higher polarisation voltage, resulting in greater sensitivity, lower self-noise and a cleaner, more dynamic signal straight out of the box. Whether you're recording vocals, spoken word or acoustic instruments, ARIA 2 helps your sound sit naturally in the mix with minimal post-processing.
Its new black finish with gold accents gives ARIA 2 a sleek, refined look, while the engraved detailing and robust metal body reflect the quality of its build. Each mic is supplied in a custom ABS flight case with laser-cut foam for secure storage and transport.
As you come to expect from Sontronics, the ARIA 2 is designed, engineered and hand-built at our headquarters on the south coast of England. Plus, it’s backed by our Lifetime Warranty, giving professionals and creators long-term confidence in their sound.
Built for the Studio, Ready for the World
From high-end recording studios to remote VO setups, ARIA 2 is designed to deliver exceptional results across a wide range of applications. It’s already being used on records, albums, and video game scores, proof of its adaptability and world-class quality.
ARIA 2 is now available from authorised Sontronics dealers worldwide. For more information, images, or review opportunities, please contact us.
