Ever since its launch five years ago, the Sontronics STC-2
large-diaphragm has been one of our most popular microphones.
To mark our fifth anniversary, we have built on the already
solid foundations of the STC-2 and added a whole new dimension of
functionality and quality, and so the Sontronics STC-2X is
born.
The large-diaphragm STC-2X features a one-inch
gold-sputtered capsule within the large open grille and boasts a switch
on the back to flick between cardioid and omni-directional patterns.
To add even more adaptability to any recording situation,
the STC-2X features a two-stage attenuation switch (-10dB and -20dB)
and a two-stage low-cut filter (75Hz and 150Hz). The mic is supplied in
a rugged aluminium flightcase with a co-ordinated spider-style
shockmount.
Ever since its early stages of production, users have told
us that the STC-2X performs excellently in a wide range of recording
situations, particularly male and female vocals, speech/voiceover,
acoustic guitar and acoustic instruments. Thanks to its omnidirectional
option, the STC-2X is also a great microphone in round-table conference
situations, and has proved itself ideal for broadcast, interviews and
conference situations, and even for podcast.
