About Sontronics STC-1

Before you delve into the world of professional audio recording, consider the high-quality Sontronics STC-1 Small-Diaphragm Pencil Cardioid Condenser Microphone. This innovative and reliable microphone is a favorite among professionals in the music and audio industry, thanks to its superior audio recording capabilities.

Designed with a small diaphragm, the STC-1 offers precise and focused recording, making it an excellent choice for capturing the unique sounds of various instruments, from the resonating strings of an acoustic guitar to the vibrant tones of a flute, trumpet, or violin. Its cardioid polar pattern further enhances its performance by minimizing background noise, ensuring a cleaner, more polished sound in every recording.

The STC-1 is not only perfect for recording solo strings, woodwind, brass, or percussion instruments, but it also excels in field recording, video and film work. Its versatility extends to overhead miking on stage or in the studio, making it a truly flexible tool in any audio professional's arsenal.

Equipped with a three-stage filter (0, -10, -20dB) and pad (0, 75, 150Hz) switches, the STC-1 stands out as one of the most adaptable microphones in its class. It consistently delivers impressive, professional studio-quality results, often outperforming microphones that come with a higher price tag.

The STC-1's capabilities can be further expanded with the optional OMNI capsule, transforming it into an exceptional overhead or room mic, ideal for recording ensemble, drum kit, piano, or group vocals. The interchangeable OMNI or HYPER capsules can also be used to convert the STC-1 into three different microphones, each with unique recording characteristics.

Whether you're recording an acoustic guitar, a solo woodwind, a percussion instrument, or using it in pairs for drum kit, overhead, and room miking, the Sontronics STC-1 Small-Diaphragm Pencil Cardioid Condenser Microphone is a durable and innovative choice that delivers professional, high-quality results every time.
