STC-10 is a pencil-style cardioid condenser microphone. It has been designed using the same technology as Sontronics’ existing pencil condenser mics, but has purposely been introduced to create an even more affordable option in the ever-growing Sontronics range.

No Compromise in Quality

The STC-10 actually has the same basic internal architecture to the Sontronics STC-1, it’s just stripped down its feature set to give producers and musicians a super affordable option.

Pencil condenser microphones are ideal for spot-miking applications or used as a stereo pair for overheads. The STC-10 is great for drums, percussion and acoustic instruments. It has also proved useful in film production work when used on a boom.

All the Basics Covered

Although the STC-10 was designed with affordability in mind, it still features a built-in attentuation switch (choose 0dB or -10dB) and a low-cut filter (75Hz) to make it extremely flexible in all situations.

The STC-10 is supplied with a simple mic clip and a foam windshield to prevent sibilance.

Sontronics HALO is a striking-looking dynamic microphone designed for use on guitar amps and cabinets. The HALO has a dynamic capsule suspended on four spring mounts within a circular frame that protects the microphone from vibrations and rumble on stage or in the studio.

HALO is based on the Sontronics STC-80, a handheld dynamic microphone that gives stunning results on vocals, but which has also been increasingly used to great effect on guitar amps for live and studio work. For HALO, Sontronics took the STC-80 capsule, enhancing it slightly to capture the exact frequencies of your guitar amp and to take into account the different length and depth of the capsule housing.

The result is the Sontronics HALO, which gives you all the bite, crunch and presence you could wish for without need to lay a finger on the EQ. Any guitarist shouldn’t be without one!

HALO is yet another of Sontronics founder and mic designer Trevor Coley’s stunning vintage-inspired creations, reminiscent of the SATURN multi-pattern condenser mic.

“As a guitarist myself,” Coley explains, “I’ve always wanted to give other guitar players something that looks a lot more inspiring than a regular handheld dynamic to put in front of their amps and HALO is exactly that. It looks and sounds like no other guitar mic out there!”

The KM 184 is a universal microphone for studio and stage applications. Its transparent sound makes the KM 184 a superb microphone for acoustic instruments, such as piano, percussion, drums, acoustic guitar, upright bass, violin, cello, woodwinds, and brass. The KM 184 can be used for soloists as well as ensembles. Thanks to its superior off-axis behavior, the KM 184 is an excellent microphone for stereo and surround recording with perfect imaging. Although the KM 184 is not specially optimized for the human voice, it is often used for classical vocals and whenever sonic authenticity is paramount. Due to its small size, the KM 184 is visually unobtrusive and well suited to TV and radio applications.

Built according to the original production documents and schematics of the classic design, the U 47 fet Collector’s Edition Condenser Microphone from Neumann is a re-release of this often-copied microphone. A transistorized version of their tube U 47, the U 47 fet features their classic K 47 capsule and boasts a high SPL handling, and has historically found itself at home outside of a kick drum and in front of loud guitar and bass amps, contributing greatly to recordings from the 1960s and 70s. Like the original, there is a slight boost in frequency response around 2 kHz.

The mic features the same low-cut filter as the original at 140 Hz, as well as the selectable -10 dB pad. For additional attenuation, there is a -6 dB output switch, allowing you to hit your mic preamps at a lower level.

The  Neumann TLM 107 Studio Set comprises the TLM 107 large diaphragm condenser microphone and the dedicated EA4 suspension shockmount.

The Neumann TLM 107 Studio set is an innovative large condenser microphone featuring a transformerless design with low self-noise and high SPL handling, ideal for any source from thundering drums to whisper quiet vocals.

Its polar pattern and frequency response offers impressive performance in all of the five different settings with a quasi linear frequency response all the way up to 8kHz and a slight boost which adds natural presence to the source. Furthermore the grille has been optimised to minimise sensitivities to sibilance and plosives. The capsule is also edge-terminated on both diaphragms at ground voltage to reduce sensitivity to dust and humidity.

Designed for tracking, mixing, and critical listening, the Neumann NDH 20 Headphones offer a closed-back, circumaural fit as well as a delineated sonic image. The headphones make use of 38mm drivers that employ a high-gauss neodymium magnet to ensure a response devoid of distortion and colouration. They provide a frequency response of 5 Hz to 30 kHz.

The HP2 from Presonus is a battery-powered personal headphone amplifier with volume and pan control for driving wired in-ear monitors as well as headphones. It can be used by musicians and performers in applications such as live stage, theater, rehearsals, and more.

The TubePre V2 from PreSonus is a fully professional tube preamp with a dual-servo (no capacitors) gain stage that allows for boosting the program signal to high levels without significantly increasing the background noise. Discrete components and high-voltage operation provide wide dynamic range without sacrificing detail. The preamp also serves as a direct box (DI) for guitars and basses and it’s small enough to carry almost anywhere.

For capturing audio the AT8024 Stereo/Mono Camera-Mount Microphone by Audio Technica can be used in several environments, on DSLR and video cameras, for applications such as weddings, conferences, sports events, and more. It features a selectable line-cardioid mono, and internally matrixed mid-side stereo mode and provides the flexibility to focus the recording on a single sound source, or to widen the field for more sonic realism. The AT8024 can deliver much improved audio than the supplied camera’s internal microphone.
