A cutting-edge condenser mic with a vintage vibe, the Ara from AKG is a two-pattern USB microphone that delivers studio-caliber audio via its 24-bit, 96kHz high-resolution converters. This mic is ideal for podcasters, bloggers, gamers, musicians, and other audio content creators who want to add professional polish to their projects.

Featuring two capsule mic array modes for user-friendly audio capture, Ara’s dual pickup patterns let you switch between precision focus and expansive pickup of 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, so you pick up only the audio you want to target, and none of the surrounding background noise. On the other hand, you can choose the Front + Back (omnidirectional) pattern to pick up sounds all around the mic, such as multiple speakers or a group of performers, giving your audience a more expansive “in the room” listening experience.

Versatile and ideal for end-users and audio professionals alike, the Ara’s USB connectivity and class-compliant drivers allow for plug-and-play setup, so you can easily integrate it into whatever audio project you’re working on…and get back to the project itself. Its Headphone Output and Volume Control features give you zero latency when monitoring your tracks, providing full control over volume, gain, and mute.

Its universal compatibility supports Mac and PC, as well as iOS and Android tablets and phones for taking your miking mobile. The Ara comes with Ableton Live 11 Lite audio production software for even more tools to perfect your project.
