HELIOS Variable-Pattern Valve Condenser Microphone

With its beautifully detailed high-end presence, the HELIOS achieves perfectly accurate results while infusing the warmth of valve circuitry. With its vacuum tube and isolated 1.07-inch capsule, the HELIOS ensures absolute recording precision by allowing transparent positioning of a subject within a mix without the need for large amounts of dynamics processing. The included SPS-1 power supply has a variable pattern control, giving HELIOS the ability to easily transition from one pattern to the next. It is by far one of the most flexible microphones available today.

The HELIOS is available in Classic Silver finish with black lettering. The microphone is supplied in a luxury wooden box protected by a high-quality aluminum flight case and includes its power supply and cables.
