Vacumm-Tube Cardioid Condenser Microphone

The Sontronics OMEGA (not currently in production) is a valve condenser microphone that employs a highly sensitive 32mm capsule housed in the large basket, away from the body of the microphone.

OMEGA delivers stunning results on vocals, where its proximity characteristics can be used to maximum effect. The rich, warm low frequencies blend with natural highs to produce an extremely satisfying result, reminiscent of the quality you'd expect from mics costing much more.

Like HELIOS, Sontronics OMEGA houses a 12AX7/ECC83 vacuum tube. The microphone comes with its own dedicated power supply unit, the SPS-2, which features a 75Hz low-cut filter and a -10dB attenuation pad.

The microphone itself comes in a luxury wooden box inside a rugged aluminium flightcase which also houses the spider shockmount, spare elastic bands, the SPS-2 power supply unit and cables.

OMEGA is not currently in production but is available through certain dealers and can be found on the second-hand/vintage market too. If you can't find an OMEGA, try our new ARIA!
