Sontronics DELTA 2 Rugged Active Ribbon Microphone

About: Sontronics DELTA 2 Rugged Active Ribbon Microphone

A must-have for guitarists and brass players alike, the Sontronics DELTA 2 is the successor to the original DELTA, which was our first ever ribbon mic designed specifically to handle high-SPL sources such as guitar amps, sax and brass. 

• High-SPL Handling: Specifically designed to capture powerful sources like guitar amps and brass instruments without distortion, making it ideal for high-SPL environments.
• Ribbon Technology: Delivers the warm, intimate tone characteristic of ribbon microphones, while maintaining clarity and detail even with loud signals.
• Phantom Power Requirement: The DELTA 2 requires phantom power, ensuring enhanced performance and versatility.
• Versatile Application: Perfect for both studio and live use, making it a reliable choice for guitarists, brass players, and recording engineers alike.
• Rugged Build: Constructed to withstand the rigours of live performances and extensive studio sessions, ensuring long-lasting reliability.
• Favoured by Professionals: Trusted by top musicians and orchestras, including Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien and the London Metropolitan Orchestra’s brass section.
• UK Precision Engineering: Hand-built and tuned to provide exceptional audio fidelity, capturing the nuances of your instrument with accuracy.
• Low Noise Floor: Designed to minimise background noise and interference, delivering clean, professional-quality recordings every time.

Perfect for studio as well as live use, the phantom-powered (active) DELTA 2 delivers all the intimate tone and subtlety you’d expect from a ribbon microphone while being rugged enough to capture powerful signals without overloading or clipping. 

A favourite with many guitarists and instrumentalists – from Radiohead’s Ed O’Brien to the brass players of the London Metropolitan Orchestra – DELTA 2 will guarantee amazing results, whether you’re in the studio or on the road.
