The Sontronics Helios is a warm dual-diaphragm valve mic with dedicated low-noise power-supply. Beautifully-crafted including flight-case.

The Sontronics Helios is a smooth and warm valve mic cast in zinc alloy for ultra-low resonance. The 35mm dual-diaphragm capsule is floated within a large-grill spherical basket to improve high-end frequency capture. Twinned with the valve circuitry, this results in crisp high-frequency capture, whilst maintaining an accurate low-end response.

The Sontronics Orpheus comes supplied in a wooden box and flight-case, dedicated low-noise power-supply and dedicated mic clip. It also benefits from Sontronics Lifetime Warranty covering component or manufacturing defects.

Also available as a solid-state version.

Behringer C-3 Dual-Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone Introducing the Professional Condenser Microphone C-3 from BEHRINGER Our latest dual-diaphragm condenser microphone C-3 is ideal for high-quality studio recording and live applications. The selectable omnidirectional, cardioid, and figure-eight pickup patterns offer ultimate versatility needed to professionally record vocals and acoustic instruments. The C-3 holds a pressure-gradient transducer with a shock-mounted dual-diaphragm capsule. Its ultra-high sound resolution and flat frequency response rival those of microphones with much higher price tags. It also includes an LED that indicates phantom power operation and a gold-plated XLR output connector to ensure highest signal integrity. The C-3 comes with extensive accessories such as swivel stand and transport case. The C-3 represents state-of-the-art technology at a price that is simply unheard of.Behringer C-2 2 Matched Studio Condenser Microphones 2 Matched Studio Condenser Microphones
  • 2 matched condenser microphones for stereo studio recording and live applications
  • Ideal as main and support microphones for studio and live applications
  • Cardioid pickup pattern for effective feedback elimination
  • Low-mass diaphragm for ultra-wide frequency response and ultimate sound reproduction
  • Switchable low-frequency roll-off and input attenuation
  • Ultra low-noise transformerless FET input eliminates low-frequency distortion
Excellent Source Isolation Our C-2 mics also feature a low-frequency rolloff switch to eliminate infrasonics (mic handling noise, sound created by creaky stages), as well as a switchable -10 dB input pad to accommodate hot signals, such as a really loud vocalist or overzealous cellist. The cardioid pickup pattern provides unparalleled sound source separation and feedback rejection. C-2 mics contain ultra low-noise transformerless FET input circuitry that can handle extreme dynamics with a maximum sound pressure level of 136 dB. So even if the featured performer at your next recording session or live show happens to be a revved-up jet engine, this workhorse mic will not distort! Sound That Astounds Every stitch of these mics is designed to deliver beautiful sound. Beginning with the gold-plated 3-pin XLR connector, you get the highest signal integrity. Once connected to your system, youʼll notice these twin pro-caliber microphones have a 4 dB boost in the 1 kHz - 8 kHz range. For those of you new to condenser mics, this basically means youʼll get a slightly brighter sound that will give the perfect shape to cymbals and overhead miking. Acoustic pianos and choirs also benefit greatly from this type of frequency response.
