The Sontronics Sigma 2 Ribbon Microphone is hand-made and employs its own unique circuitry. We guarantee you’ll fall in love with Sigma 2. You've been warned!
Designed from the ground up, the new Sigma 2 is hand-made at Sontronics HQ and employs their own unique circuitry, Britsh-made electronics, including a premium-quality custom-wound transformer (made exclusively in their home town of Poole), precision-cut and moulded British stainless steel mesh, and CNC-engineered metal internal and external parts. Sontronics Sigma 2's circuitry incorporates RFI (radio frequency interference) filters that ensure that Sigma 2's signal remains interference-free and makes the microphone even more suited to live use than before. Its the only ribbon mic in the world to boast this feature!
The Sontronics Sigma 2 is phantom-powered and has extremely high sensitivity and incredibly low self-noise making it ideal for capturing vocals, speech, solo woodwind, stringed instruments and guitar amps, presenting an exceptionally detailed, accurate, natural sound. Utilising the same super-sensitive ribbon motor as the original, Sigma 2 offers stunning clarity and definition in the top end but now also boasts richer mid and low tones.
A pair of Sontronics Sigma 2's (either spaced separately or in X-Y configuratio) can be used for extremely effective overhead and room miking, upright or grand piano, string quartet and other ensembles.
