Sontronics Delta 2 Rugged Phantom-Powered Ribbon Microphone

Product Overview

The Sontronics Delta 2 is a rugged, phantom-powered ribbon microphone engineered specifically for high-SPL sound sources such as guitar amplifiers, brass, and saxophone. Designed as the successor to the original Delta, this microphone combines classic ribbon warmth with modern durability, making it equally dependable in professional studios and demanding live environments.

Unlike traditional ribbon microphones that can struggle with loud sources, the Delta 2 is purpose-built to handle powerful signals without distortion or clipping. Its figure-of-eight polar pattern delivers an intimate, natural sound with excellent rejection from the sides, allowing instruments to sit cleanly and confidently in the mix. Hand-built and precision-tuned in the UK, the Delta 2 is trusted by professional guitarists, brass players, and recording engineers worldwide.
