Sontronics

Add X/Y stereo ribbon miking to your recording capabilities with the Apollo 2 Stereo Ribbon Microphone from Sontronics. Unlike traditional ribbon designs that wither and die when exposed to phantom power, the Apollo 2 thrives on it, using the voltage to power its specially designed capsules and custom-wound transformers to deliver a rich, robust sound, requiring less gain from your preamp.The dual ribbon capsules are placed in a Blumlein X/Y pattern, with one capsule stacked on top of the other, ensuring that incoming sound arrives at each ribbon motor simultaneously to minimize phasing problems for coherent stereo recordings. The figure-of-eight pickup pattern is well suited to a variety of sound sources, including acoustic guitars, pianos, choirs, and ensembles, and it is also a superb choice for use on room recordings and drum overheads. With the ability to handle maximum SPLs of up to 125 dB, the Apollo 2 offers a sturdier alternative to the delicate ribbons of the past and includes a sophisticated shockmount that effectively isolates the mic from vibrations and handling noise while leaving the mic element completely uncovered. riptFeatures at a Glance Stereo ribbon microphone in Blumlein X/Y configurationRequires phantom power Custom-made output transformerRobust output level needs less gain at preampHandles loud sources at up to 125 dB SPL20 Hz to 20 kHz frequency responseRFI filtering to eliminate interference from wireless signalsIncludes shockmount to reduce vibrations and low-end rumblingIncludes 6-pin to dual XLR cable
