The New Reference Point for Modern Valve Microphones

MERCURY combines classic valve warmth with modern precision. It’s detailed without sounding clinical, smooth without losing presence, and flexible enough to adapt to almost any recording situation.

Unlike traditional multi-pattern microphones that limit you to fixed positions, MERCURY gives you continuous control over the polar pattern, allowing you to shape how much room, ambience and proximity effect you capture.

That means more creative freedom at the recording stage and less corrective processing later. This is a microphone designed to be listened to, not just used.

Detailed, Natural and Incredibly Adaptable

MERCURY is designed to give you confidence in any session. Whether you're recording vocals, acoustic instruments or spoken word, it delivers a balanced and honest sound that sits naturally in a mix.

The sweepable polar pattern allows you to subtly adjust the microphone’s focus, helping reduce unwanted room reflections or capture more ambience when the space sounds right.

Instead of working around limitations, MERCURY adapts to the session.

Built for Engineers and Artists

At the heart of MERCURY is a carefully tuned valve circuit designed to deliver a smooth top end, controlled midrange and a sense of depth that flatters a wide range of voices and instruments.

It offers the kind of detail you would expect from a modern high-end condenser, combined with the musical response traditionally associated with classic valve microphones.

"There’s a clarity here, a definition and coherence all the way from the bottom to the top of the frequency response. It sounds modern, open, solid and defined."
