Delphos II
Colares
Aztec
We recommend the Delphos II for nearly any source in the studio. With its neutral tonality and three patterns, it captures the source with high resolution and fidelity. It is the sort of mic you'll find yourself trying first, before your former go-to choices.

What's in YOUR microphone?
We build Roswell microphones the old-fashioned way, using the best through-hole components in the world. Every part is handpicked based on its contribution to the sound of the mic. Roswell Pro Audio mics are boutique designs, made in small batches... just not priced that way.
No Shortcuts
Every Roswell mic is soldered by hand, "burned in" for 24-72 hours on our proprietary conditioning fixture, then tested for sensitivity, noise, plosive performance, frequency response, polarity, and distortion. Our rigorous test procedures guarantee each mic's quality.
