SONTRONICS SIGMA RIBBON MIC 48v
Active ribbon microphone with shockmount and aluminum carrying case! The SIGMA's
high sensitivity and low self-noise is simply unheard of for a ribbon microphone.
The SIGMA can be used for a variety of applications, including broadcast, male and female vocals, speech, drums and percussion, piano, accordion, acoustic guitar and orchestral instruments. It is also ideal as a direct microphone for guitar cabinets.
The SIGMA operates with phantom power, setting it apart from traditional transformer-based ribbon microphones. It can be used with nearly every pre amp, allowing consistency throughout a recording while creating the smooth, uncolored audio characteristics ribbon microphones are known for.
The SIGMA is available in a black finish and is packaged in an aluminum carrying case. SIGMA's special mounting system for increased noise reduction is also included.

Testimonials:
Josh Homme - Artist/Producer (Queens of the Stone Age) "The SIGMA ribbon mic is where vintage equals timeless classic instead of dated; where modern equals sonic class, versatility and durability instead of over-hyped mimickery. I've always liked a beauty with brains!"
Alain Johannes - Engineer/Producer (Queens of the Stone Age, No Doubt) "The SIGMA has quickly become my favourite ribbon microphone. It has warmth and a natural open sound yet carries enough presence to command its own space alongside hypey modern mics. On vocals it is classy and creamy sounding with a wonderful immediacy. It excels as a room mic for drums because of its ability to balance the weight of the kit with the cymbal sizzle. I often use it to anchor the drum sound." "The SIGMA has become essential for recording electric guitars because it can handle the volume and it captures the feeling of being in the room with the amp."
