Sontronics Delta - Active Ribbon Microphone

Wednesday April 1, 2009. 09:52 AM, by Nantho MusikMesse 2009 > Audio Hardware > Sontronics
Audio Hardware : Sontronics Delta - Active Ribbon Microphone - macmusicSontronics presents a new active ribbon microphone called Delta.

The Delta has been designed to deliver the classic tonality of a traditional ribbon microphone, but with the added reliability and consistency that active electronics offer and rugged build to allow it to be used in live sound applications as well as the studio. This new microphone excels in miking electric guitar cabinets and is designed for applications ranging from subtle electro-acoustic finesse to shred-metal mayhem.

It features optimized sensitivity and 48V pre-amplified electronics to deliver solid audio consistency combined with a significant improvement in signal-to-noise compared with traditional transformer-based ribbon mics. The Delta has a 20Hz to 15kHz frequency response and can accept maximum SPLs of 135dB.

Before it reached production, the Delta was beta-tested by various studio producers and engineers, all of whom pushed the microphone to the max. Justin Smith, engineer for Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles of Death Metal, states: "The Delta is amazing. It really handles anything you throw at it, from quiet, non-distorted guitar to balls-to-the-wall, amp-on-11 stuff. As soon as you have more, we want them."

The Delta comes in a rugged aluminium flightcase with its shockmount and is available immediately at a list price of $799.
