"For just under £90 you get a classy-looking cardioid pencil condenser that punches well above its weight sound-wise. Whether used as overheads, a spot mic for percussion or beyond, I think the STC-10 is a bit of a bargain." – Drummer mag
Based on the ever popular STC-1, the new Sontronics STC-10 was launched with four other products to mark their fifth anniversary in January 2010.
STC-10 is a pencil-style cardioid condenser microphone. It has been designed using the same technology as our existing pencil condenser mics, but has purposely been introduced to create an even more affordable option in the Sontronics range.
Pencil condenser microphones are ideal for spot miking applications and the STC-10 is no exception. Early tests have proved it to be a winner when used on drums, percussion and acoustic instruments. The STC-10 has also proved useful in film production work when used on a boom.
Although the STC-10 has been designed with affordability in mind, it still features a built-in attentuation switch (choose 0dB or -10dB) and a low-cut filter (75Hz) to make it extremely flexible in all situations. The STC-10 is supplied with a simple mic clip and a foam windshield to prevent sibilance.
