Variable-pattern valve condenser microphone.

Includes Toontrack EZ Lite software This product comes with free Toontrack EZdrummer Lite in the box!

"The Helios is a really incredible value-for-money mic and performed
faultlessly in our recording tests."
- Pro Sound News

"Overall the Helios is a well-spec’d and good sounding mic." - Future Music

“The HELIOS has an edge over modern and classic mics because of its incredible definition and presence. I love the way it translates a singer’s emotion even in the midst of a raging guitar track.” - Alain Johannes, Engineer/Producer (Queens of the Stone Age, Eleven, Chris Cornell)

With a complete low-end response and a smooth, beautifully detailed high-end presence, the HELIOS is designed to give perfectly accurate results but with the inherent warmth of valve circuitry, thanks to its vacuum tube.

Using a sensitive 1.07-inch capsule isolated by a latex mount within the large grille, the HELIOS ensures total precision in your recording. Its design allows you to transparently position your subject within a mix without having to resort to heaps of EQ and dynamics processing to do the job for you.

The HELIOS comes with its own SPS-1 power supply, which has a variable pattern control, allowing a smooth transition from omni to figure-of-eight and anything in between. 

The HELIOS is simply one of the most flexible microphones avialable in any class.
