Sontronics Helios Variable-Pattern mic £474.00
Description
Variable-pattern valve condenser microphone
With a complete low-end response and a smooth, beautifully detailed high-end presence, the HELIOS is designed to give perfectly accurate results but with the inherent warmth of valve circuitry, thanks to its vacuum tube.
Using a sensitive 1.07-inch capsule isolated by a latex mount within the large grille, the HELIOS ensures total precision in your recording. Its design allows you to transparently position your subject within a mix without having to resort to heaps of EQ and dynamics processing to do the job for you.
