The sE4400 is a real all-rounder and the revised version of the popular sE4400a. The dual diaphragm enables a wide range of directional characteristics and makes the microphone a versatile choice for use in the studio and on stage.The sE4400 offers four different polar patterns - omnidirectional, cardioid, hypercardioid and figure-of-eight - a LoCut with two selectable operating frequencies (40Hz and 80Hz) and a two-stage switchable pad (10dB / 20dB). Despite its small dimensions, the housing accommodates a 1" double diaphragm as well as high-quality electronics and switches.With a thickness of less than 3/4" (approx. 1.9cm), the sE4400 is extremely thin and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand. The flat, rounded housing design allows the microphone to be mounted close to the guitar cabinet or flat over the drum head. It is also perfect for vocals or voice over.Handcrafted with the highest attention to detail, built with a roadworthy die-cast all-metal housing, metal switches and a robust basket made of spring steel wire that can take a beating on the road: The sE4400 impresses with its down-to-earth elegance and offers discreet electronics that emphasise the functions that are really needed.The accessories include the new SH21 elastic suspension, which also allows installation in confined spaces. A steel-reinforced, black aluminium transport case is also included.Also available as sE4400 stereo set.

Unadulterated, transparent, versatile:The KM 184 is a top-class small diaphragm microphone with a uniform, frequency-independent cardioid characteristic. Its natural, transparent sound with very low inherent noise and high level stability has made the KM 184 a worldwide stage and studio standard, covering almost all applications from classical piano to heavy metal drums.Today, most microphones are designed to put their own stamp on the sound material. But there are many sound events that you want to reproduce faithfully without adding or subtracting anything. This is precisely the approach of the Neumann Series 180.The Neumann Series 180 comprises three microphones with different polar patterns, KM 183 (omnidirectional), KM 184 (cardioid) and KM 185 (hypercardioid), which cover the majority of stage and studio applications. By dispensing with modularity, the Series 180 is more cost-effective than the modular Series KM A /D (with a wide range of interchangeable capsule heads for analogue and digital output stages).Despite its attractive price, the KM 184 offers top-class Neumann technology: its cardioid characteristic is frequency-independent; the sound suppression in the rear (180°) is also excellent in the lower frequencies. In practical use, there is no sound colouration over a wide recording angle, which is just as important for multi-miking as it is for precise spatial imaging in stereo and surround recordings. The KM 184 has a very linear frequency response. It uses the same capsule design as the popular Neumann classic KM 84, but with a slight treble boost at 9 kHz for additional brilliance. An innovative transformerless microphone circuit with a wide dynamic range of 125 dB guarantees that the excellent sound characteristics of the capsule are fully retained. The KM 184 achieves a very low self-noise of only 13 dB-A and can handle sound pressure levels of up to 138 dB without distortion. The low impedance of the output stage allows cable lengths of up to 300 metres without any loss of sound quality.The KM 184 is a universal microphone for stage and studio applications. Its transparent sound makes it ideal for acoustic instruments such as piano, percussion, drums, acoustic guitar, double bass, violin, cello, woodwinds and brass. With its frequency-stable cardioid characteristic, it is recommended for stereo and surround recordings with perfect spatial imaging. Although not specifically optimised for the human voice, it is often used for classical vocals and other applications where sonic authenticity is paramount. Thanks to its compact design, the KM 184 is visually unobtrusive and therefore ideally suited for TV and radio broadcasts.

The first Sigma was already a great success for Sontronics and one of the first ribbon microphones to be operated with phantom power. The completely newly developed successor model is manufactured by hand in England from high-quality components and has been further refined in terms of sound compared to its predecessor. An innovation in the circuitry of the Sigma 2 are RFI filters that eliminate interference - the result is a particularly clean signal even under difficult conditions, for example on live stages. The extremely low self-noise and the sound character with defined highs, gripping mids and powerful bass make the Sigma 2 an excellent choice for acoustic and orchestral instruments. The Sigma 2 lends speech and vocals a nostalgic vintage charm. The Sigma 2 also cuts a fine figure with guitar amplifiers, albeit at a moderate distance from the sound source so as not to overload the ribbon. Sontronics has an alternative for close-miking particularly loud sound sources: the Delta 2

Dynamic microphone with acoustic properties very similar to a condenser microphone, but warmer and softer. Very precise sound reproduction across the entire frequency spectrum, without overemphasising individual frequency ranges. At the same time, the PR40 has all the typical advantages of dynamic microphones, such as the high sound pressure limit and the ability not to "hear every flea cough". Thanks to its distinctive directional characteristic, the PR40 ensures an optimum ratio of useful signal to noise. A very good all-round microphone. Excellent for miking horns, bass amps, vocals, speech and bass drums.Recommended applications: Kick drum, bass cabinet, vocals and speech.

The small diaphragm microphone impresses with its sophisticated cardioid characteristic and a pad circuit of -10dB. The DM-1T is specially designed for miking toms. The microphone captures even the finest sound nuances of the individual drums in optimum quality and thus supports their individual sound characteristics.The DM-1T comes with a microphone clip and a metal drum mount.Like all Sontronics microphones, the DM-1T was tested to the limit before launch to ensure that it works perfectly. Whether in the studio or live. That's why the British company gives a lifetime guarantee on the drum mics. Star producer Flood, who has been in the studio with U2, The Killers and Arctic Monkeys, is also convinced of the quality of the microphones.

Thanks to its tuned frequency response, the TG D35d is predestined for miking toms and snare drums. Its powerful and clear sound is not only impressive on drums, the TG D35d is suitable for use on all instruments with a high sound pressure level, e.g. percussion instruments such as congas or bongos.The compact design and the lightweight yet robust plastic housing allow for easy positioning. The supercardioid polar pattern enables a high level of channel separation to be achieved, while emphasising low-frequency signal sources ensures a powerful sound. Thanks to the dynamic capsule, even high volumes are reproduced without distortion. The patented MKV 87 microphone clip is included in the scope of delivery.

The "Series 180" consists of three compact small microphones whose characteristics fulfil the requirements of all common studio applications. Thanks to an optimised mechanical design and the deliberate avoidance of a modular construction - which is not necessary in many cases - the "Series 180" is predestined for the cost-effective basic equipment of a production or home recording studio.Based on the great success of the KM 184 cardioid microphone, which quickly became a standard in the worldwide studio scene, the KM 183 microphone with omnidirectional characteristic and the KM 185 with hypercardioid characteristic were developed.

The AKG P170 condenser microphone is the ideal small diaphragm model for miking drums and acoustic instruments. It delivers a clean, unadulterated sound. By slightly boosting high frequencies, instruments sound more brilliant. Normally, condenser microphones have difficulty transmitting loud instruments without distortion.The AKG P170, however, can handle a sound pressure level of up to 155 dB. This makes it ideal as an overhead microphone for drums and percussion, and its cardioid characteristic makes it insensitive to sound from the side or from behind. This gives you good results without crosstalk or feedback, even under less than ideal acoustic conditions.Thanks to its robust metal housing, the AKG P170 is ideally suited for live use.

The MKH 8070 long shotgun microphone is consistently designed for high-quality recording of distant sound sources.
