Solaris captures the true sound of anything in any space! The Solaris is a large-capsule condenser microphone that sounds as good as it looks. Beneath the stylish exterior lies the best-sounding solid-state electronics available at any price. Vintage design principles merge with incredibly tight manufacturing standards to yield no more than +/-1dB of deviation across the entire 20Hz-20kHz frequency range. As well, all Solaris microphones exhibit no more than +/- 1dB variation from each other so you use several if you're miking an ensemble or complete drumset and know they are matched. The industry-thinnest evaporated gold diaphragm also delivers incredible sensitivity. Multi-pattern architecture provides flexibility that makes it ideal for just about any miking situation—included capturing vocals, guitar, piano, drums and live events. It’s like having three mics in one. Reviews "The Solaris mics were perfect for our guitars on the acoustic tour. It's amazing to me that M-Audio have somehow managed to incorporate a $5,000-microphone sound (comparable to any Neumann or Sony) in an affordable and accessible product! Well done, M-Audio."
- -Seal “This is a tremendous mic for the money, and recordists on a budget could track almost any acoustic sound they’d ever desire simply by owning a dynamic mic and a Solaris.”
- - Guitar Player/October 2004 “The Solaris is not only a great buy but also a proud addition to anyone’s recording arsenal.”
- Remix/January 2005 “(On the John Mellencamp tour) I use eight Solaris mics on guitars and drum overheads and three Tampa preamps on vocals. I also use the FireWire 1814 to record in Pro Tools M-Powered. It all sounds and is holding up great.”
