Multi-award-winning valve microphone that guarantees silky smooth results

The beautiful Sontronics ARIA valve/tube condenser microphone really does sound as stunning as it looks, and since its launch in 2014, it has established itself as a modern classic thanks to its silky smooth and balanced tone.
