Sontronics STC-10 pencil condenser microphone (Black)

SONTRONICS STC-10 cardioid condenser microphone

Based on Sontronics' ever-popular STC-1, the new STC-10 was launched with four other products to mark Sontronics' fifth anniversary in January 2010.

STC-10 is a pencil-style carioid condenser microphone. It has been designed using the same technology as the STC-1 but has purposely been introduced to create an even more affordable option in the Sontronics range.

Pencil condenser microphones are ideal for spot miking applications and the STC-10 is no exception. Early tests have proved it to be a winner when used on drums, percussion and acoustic instruments. The STC-10 has also proved useful in film production work when used on a boom.

Although the STC-10 has been designed with affordability in mind, it still features a built-in attenuation switch (choose 0dB or -10dB) and a low-cut filter (75Hz) to make it extremely flexible in all situations. The STC-10 is supplied with a simple mic clip.
