| M-Audio Solaris
Large-Capsule Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone
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. 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.

"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
“The Solaris is not only a great buy but also a proud addition to anyone’s recording arsenal.” - REMIX
