Sontronics DELTA 2 Overview
Get that prized ribbon sound on your electric guitar, saxophone, or brass with the Delta 2 Ribbon Microphone from Sontronics. Unlike traditional ribbon designs that wither and die when exposed to phantom power, the Delta 2 actually requires it, using the voltage to power its specially designed capsule and custom-wound transformer to deliver a rich, robust sound for both studio recordings and live performances.
The single ribbon capsule offers a figure-of-eight pickup pattern that picks up sound from both sides of the mic, allowing the mic to capture both the primary sound source and additional room tone. With the ability to handle maximum SPLs of up to 140 dB, the Delta 2 offers a sturdier alternative to the delicate ribbons of the past, allowing you to place it closer to loud sound sources�including blisteringly loud guitar amps. A sophisticated shockmount is included that effectively isolates the mic from vibrations and handling noise while leaving the mic element completely uncovered.
