Avenson STO-2 Details
The Avenson STO-2 is a pressure transducer. So are your ears. No Coincidence. We started out looking for a natural sounding mic and this is what we came up with. Sold in matched pairs, (two ears right?) the Avenson STO-2 are perfect for capturing instruments that need no flattery. With a matched pair, stereo is no problem - Jecklin disk or spaced pair - it will sound like you are standing there.

Avenson STO-2 Reviews
"I remember the first time I used the Avenson STO-2 I put one up to record an acoustic guitar. I heard this sound in the headphones that gave me that ear candy sound of instrument and room. I smiled. You usually get something that's a little dark or a little bright. But, you usually never get something so close to what you hear with your ears." Steven Langer, Publisher www.mojopie.com.
