Product Information
Sontronics STC-2 Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Having recently gone through the curve of setting up my own project studio at home I was immediately curious when the Sontronics STC-2 appeared on my review schedule. Certainly its cosmetic apperance is very impressive and it comes in a sturdy flightcase. The microphone itself is crafted from a low resonance die-cast zinc body which incidentally goes a long way to preventing greasy finger marks and retaining the classy looks of the STC-2 and it also comes with its own shock-mount cradle ...
The Sontronics Microphones are manufactured in labratory conditions in Shanghai, China and the company assembled a collection of popular Diaphragm microphones to analyse their sonic characteristics and then emulate their strong points The result is a very affordable microphone that is perfectly suited to the vocal performance required within a studio environment.
Its performance is clean and clear and this microphone excels at the upper frequencies where the sound becomes smooth and sibillant, mid-range frequencies are clear and natural and can easily become wooly on budget microphones - but not here.The only slight crticism of this microphone is the drop in volume that occurrs when the lead vocalist sings slightly to the side ... However with proper microphone technique this should rarely happen and is a minor niggle on an otherwise excellent product ...

The biggest compliment that I can pay the Sontronics STC-2 is that this microphone sounds like it should cost twice as musch as the stated price. The small amount of recording that I managed to do with this microphone to test it out proved to be of excellent quality ...
It excells on vocals where the top end frequencies really shine through, but I also acheived decent results on acoustic guitar recordings where it accurately captured the natural sound of my Ovation Balladeer guitar. Many home studio set-ups are done on a restricted budget and tend not to have a wide range of microphones for various uses, but my advice to those people would be to seriously consider this microphone.
For the amount of money it costs you'll have an excellent vocal microphone, plus it will produce great results on acoustic guitars/mandolins or even as an overhead mic on a live drum kit. The Sontronics STC-2 is an outstanding quality microphone at a great price ...
