The Professionals’ Favourite Vocal Mic
To create this outstanding microphone, the Aria was beta-tested by top artists and musicians during it’s development to help make sure it was just the tool that engineers need. Paul Epworth, the producer responsible for some of the most iconic vocal artists in the last few years like Adele and Florence & the Machine, tested the Aria and was so pleased with it that he made sure that he kept one in his mic collection.
Paul Epworth, singer songwriter PJ Harvey and several Engineers at Abbey Road Studios admit they now cant live without their Aria Mics and it’s often been said that the Aria Sound and quality can easily compete with the classic favourites and modern design mics that cost ten times more!
Not Just for Vocals
Despite being designed specifically for Vocals, many musicians and engineers have found that the aria sounds gorgeous on other acoustic instruments like the piano and acoustic guitar. Having heard the sound quality when put on the cello in an orchestral session, many professional London cellists have wanted an Aria for all their recordings!
