Worth the money

By Jonathan S.

Awesome mic totally worth the money

From the innovative mind of Sontronics' founder and designer, Trevor Coley, comes the Sontronics Halo, a dynamic microphone specifically engineered for guitar amps and cabinets. This dynamic microphone is a unique blend of retro aesthetics and modern technology, featuring a dynamic capsule suspended within a circular frame on four spring mounts.

The Sontronics Halo is more than just a visually appealing microphone; it's a tool that delivers exceptional sound quality. It's been hailed as the best-sounding dynamic microphone for guitar cabs, trusted by engineers and technicians for both live performances and studio recordings.

Designed by a guitarist, for guitarists, the Halo captures the exact frequencies of any guitar amp with precision. It's built on the foundation of our best-selling STC-80 handheld dynamic mic, but with an enhanced circuit to accommodate the Halo's vintage-inspired body. The result is a microphone that delivers all the bite, crunch, and presence you could ever want from your guitar, without the need for EQ adjustments.

The Halo's versatility extends beyond guitar amps and cabinets. Its frequency response and peak presence make it an excellent choice for recording other amplified string instruments like electric violins, as well as plucked instruments such as banjos, 6- and 12-string acoustic guitars, and bouzoukis. It even delivers fantastic sound quality when used with harmonicas.

Interestingly, the Halo has also found a place in vocal recording. Despite not being initially designed for this purpose, many users have reported brilliant results, particularly for live performances.

The Sontronics Halo can be placed directly in front of any guitar amp or cabinet without fear of overloading the dynamic element. For optimal results, we recommend positioning it about 3 to 5cm out from the grille, at the edge of the speaker cone. Even at low gain, the Halo captures the amp's tone and character with unmatched clarity and beauty.

In summary, the Sontronics Halo is not just a microphone; it's an indispensable tool for any recording or gigging guitarist, delivering amazingly accurate, realistic, and clean results that sit beautifully in the mix. Try the Halo today and experience your guitar and amp in a whole new light.
