Sontronics Solo

The Sontronics SOLO proves that a high-quality dynamic microphone made entirely in the UK doesn't have to be expensive. Its present and detailed sound predestines the SOLO especially for vocals and the miking of guitar amps or drums. The high-quality and extremely solid workmanship speaks in favour of use both in the studio and under tough live conditions. As the entire production process, from development to final assembly, takes place in the UK, the SOLO is the first dynamic microphone to earn the "made in the UK" label.

Sontronics is known for its outstanding and remarkably affordable condenser microphones. With the new SOLO, the Poole-based manufacturer is presenting the first ever dy-namic microphone made entirely in the UK. Its supercardioid characteristic and solid workmanship make the microphone ideal for the stage, but its sound also makes it the perfect tool for vocals, guitar amplifiers or drums in the studio.

With the SOLO, Sontronics has developed a dynamic microphone that can be used for a wide variety of applications. As a handheld microphone, it is ideal for capturing vocals or spoken presentations. In addition, its sound also qualifies the SOLO for miking guitar amps or drums. Snare, toms, even the bass drum or hi-hats can be transferred to the PA or hard disc with the help of the Sontronics SOLO. The powerful presence of the microphone helps the signals to assert themselves, while its fine tuning preserves the richness of detail of the instrument. The strong attenuation in the off-axis of its supercardioid characteristic allows very precise signal separation even under difficult live conditions when positioned accurately.

With the Sontronics SOLO, you definitely have a piece of quality technology in your hands. This is immediately noticeable, not least because of its weight: the microphone weighs in at an impressive 792 grams. This weight is another reason why the SOLO immediately conveys a feeling of quality and stability. No less solid is the frequency response, which ranges from 50 Hz to 15 kHz and, thanks to its fine tuning, makes processing the signal with an EQ superfluous in many cases. The Sontronics also impresses in terms of sensitivity with a value of -50 dB.

The Sontronics SOLO is the first dynamic microphone to be developed and manufactured entirely in the United Kingdom. The black anodised aluminium housing therefore contains genuine British technology - a guarantee of first-class quality and outstanding sound with legendary status, especially in the audio sector. The microphone is manufactured and assembled less than 10 miles from the company's headquarters in the English county of Dorset. Even the packaging of the microphone is produced within a 30-mile radius and is fully recyclable.

Sontronics CEO Trevor Coley is committed to the idea of sustainability in both the packaging and the microphones themselves. The Sontronics SOLO, like all of the manufacturer's products, is therefore designed to last. This quality standard is reflected in the lifetime guarantee that Sontronics offers to registered first-time buyers. All the buyer has to do is register with Sontronics within 30 days of purchase. The Sontronics SOLO therefore offers guaranteed quality from England.
