Description

Description

The Sontronics Aria is the company’s flagship large-diaphragm tube condenser microphone, specially designed for professional vocal recording. It delivers a vintage tonal character and a wide frequency response, and comes with a complete accessory kit in an aluminium case.

Vintage Sound with 12AX7 Tube

Equipped with a European-spec 12AX7/ECC83 tube, it gives recordings a warm, authentic character. The large-diaphragm capsule, measuring 1.07 inches in diameter, captures every detail with precision, making it ideal for vocals, piano, acoustic guitar, and cello.

Cardioid Pattern & Technical Specifications

It features a cardioid polar pattern with a wide frequency response range of 20Hz to 20kHz. It offers a sensitivity of 18mV/Pa (-33dB), a noise level of 18dB, and can handle a maximum sound pressure level of up to 125dB SPL for clear recordings without distortion.

SPS-2 External Power Supply with Filters

It comes with the external SPS-2 (115/230V) power supply, which features useful controls. It includes a low-frequency cutoff switch (75Hz filter) and a -10dB pad option for handling high-volume sources.

Complete Equipment & Sturdy Protection

The package includes an elastic spider-style shock mount to dampen vibrations and a 3-pin XLR connection. For safe transport, it comes with a luxurious wooden box with a velvet lining, connection cables, and a durable aluminum case.

Mode of Operation
Condenser (Large Diaphragm)

Mode of Operation

Condenser (Large Diaphragm)
Warm and full sound with emphasis on vocals. Mainly used in studios for vocals and solo instruments.
Directivity
Unidirectional (Cardioid)

Directivity

Unidirectional (Cardioid)

Cardioid: Captures sound primarily from the front, reducing sounds from the sides and rear. Ideal for vocals, podcasting, and live recordings.
Frequency
20 - 20000 Hz

Frequency

Indicates the frequency range that a microphone can capture and is expressed in Hertz (Hz). The more balanced the range, the more natural and clear the sound.

Usage examples:

  • 100 – 10,000 Hz to 200 – 12,000 Hz: Emphasis on speech intelligibility, with limited low and very high frequencies.
  • 50 – 14,000 Hz to 80 – 16,000 Hz: Balance of volume and clarity. Ideal for live performances and dynamic microphones.
  • 40 – 15,000 Hz to 50 – 18,000 Hz: Rich, natural vocal sound. Suitable for podcasts, radio, and streaming.
  • 20 – 18,000 Hz to 20 – 20,000 Hz: Full spectrum with high detail and "air". Ideal for studio recording.
  • Below 20 Hz & above 20,000 Hz: Extended technical range for specialized studio applications.
Impendance
200 ohm

Impendance

Indicates how "easily" the microphone transmits its signal to the equipment (mixer, sound card, amplifier). It is expressed in Ohms (Ω).

  • Low impedance (≤ 600 Ω): Stable signal, less noise, ideal for professional equipment and long cable runs.
  • Medium impedance (600 – 1,000 Ω): Good balance, common in live and general use.
  • High impedance (> 1,000 Ω): More sensitive to loss and noise, usually found in older or specialized equipment.
Sensitivity
18 mV/Pa

Sensitivity

The sensitivity of a microphone indicates how strong the signal it produces is when recording a sound. It is measured in mV/Pa or dBV/Pa.

  • High sensitivity: The microphone can capture very low sounds, but it may be more sensitive to ambient noise.
  • Low sensitivity: It records louder sound sources without distortion, but requires more amplification from the preamp.

In general, condenser microphones have higher sensitivity than dynamic ones.

Max SPL
125 dB

Max SPL

Max SPL (Maximum Sound Pressure Level) is the maximum sound pressure level (in dB) that a microphone can withstand before it starts to distort the sound.

  • High Max SPL (e.g., 140-160dB): Ideal for recording loud sources such as drums, amplified guitar, or live concerts.
  • Lower Max SPL (e.g., 120dB): Suitable for vocals and softer recordings.

The higher the Max SPL, the louder the sounds it can capture without distortion.
