![]() ![]() A closer inspection of the manual yields no further information, and there's no polar plot illustrating the cardoid response, either. ![]() ![]() The accompanying blurb states that the Aries is a "cardoid design for stage and studio vocals," but claims such as "20Hz20kHz frequency response" seem rather generic and make me wish for more data. It comes in a cardboard box, which is nothing new, but both the box and the manual provide very little information about the characteristics of the microphone. I had mixed feelings when I first received the Aries. I wouldn't normally have considered M–Audio as a first choice for a stage microphone, as there are so many already on the market by manufacturers that I know and trust, but as the Aries under review here is their first mic to focus on live sound, as it's a capacitor and as it has an RRP of just under £100, I was particularly interested to see how it would fare in a gig environment against some of my old favourites. When the M–Audio name is mentioned, a selection of well–built mid–priced products springs to mind: soundcards, MIDI peripherals, studio monitors and the like. M-Audio are perhaps better known for their studio and computer-based peripherals, but they now also have a microphone range, to which has been added a stage-specific model. ![]()
