AKG Ara Professional Two-Pattern USB Condenser Microphone
The AKG Ara two-pattern USB microphone lets podcasters, bloggers, gamers and musicians capture pro-quality, high-resolution sound right from their desktops. Whether you’re streaming or recording, capture audio at 24-bit, 96kHz resolution for crystal-clear speech clarity and stunning vocal and instrument tracks. Ara’s dual pickup patterns let you focus on a single voice or instrument or everyone in the room: Choose the directional Front (cardioid) pattern to focus on sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting sound from other sides; use the Front + Back (omni) pattern to pick up sounds all around the mic, such as multiple speakers or a group of performers. Use Ara on a desktop, boom, stand or even on the go, with an optional adapter and your mobile device. It’s plug-and-play simple, thanks to USB connectivity and class-compliant drivers.
Pro-Grade, High-Quality Sound
Record professional-quality audio at 24-bit, 96kHz resolution for ultimate speech clarity and stunning vocal and instrument tracks. Gamers experience the thrills of fidelity that outperforms headsets, and videoconferencing is elevated with crystal-clear sound that’s far superior to built-in laptop or phone mics. And with a max SPL of 120 dB, there’s plenty of headroom for recording high-output instruments like drums, horns and electric guitars.
Record Anything with Selectable Focus Patterns
Ara provides two selectable pickup patterns for maximum versatility. The directional Front (cardioid) pattern captures sound directly in front of the mic while rejecting sound from other sides; it’s perfect for podcast hosts, bloggers, gamers, videoconferencing and miking instruments. The Front + Back (omni) pattern picks up sound evenly from all sides, making it ideal for capturing interviews with multiple speakers, tracking multiple singers and instruments, or recording ambient sounds on location.
Ultimate Ease of Use
Recording with Ara is plug-and-play simple. Connect directly to Mac and Windows computers using a standard USB-C connector. For Android devices, use an OTG USB adapter; for iOS devices, use an optional Apple Camera Adapter and a powered USB hub. Ara works seamlessly with live-streaming, videoconferencing and music-recording applications. Controls for common functions are right on the front of the mic, including pattern selection, a mic mute button with LED indicator and a 3.5mm headphone jack for latency-free monitoring.
Adaptable to Any Space
Ara’s compact footprint and versatile mounting options make it ideal for both desktop use and studio recording scenarios. Set Ara on a desktop using the included yoke and base stand or attach to a boom or standard mic stand; use the included adapter for European mic stands.
