The Sontronics STC-10 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone designed in Britain to deliver clear, detailed, and natural sound for instrument recording. Its cardioid polar pattern focuses on the sound source directly in front of the microphone, effectively reducing background noise and room reflections. With a wide frequency response of 30Hz–20kHz, the STC-10 accurately captures low-end warmth and crisp high frequencies. The subtle high-frequency boost enhances clarity, making it ideal for acoustic guitars, solo strings, and woodwinds where articulation and tonal balance are essential.
Built for flexibility, the STC-10 includes a two-stage pad (Off / -10dB) that allows it to handle loud sound sources up to 130dB SPL without distortion. The two-stage high-pass filter (Off / 75Hz) helps eliminate unwanted low-frequency rumble and handling noise, ensuring cleaner recordings. These controls make the microphone suitable for both close-miking and overhead applications. Whether you’re recording delicate passages or louder performances, the STC-10 adapts easily to different studio and live recording environments.
With a sensitivity of 11mV/Pa and a low equivalent noise level of just 18dB (A-weighted), the STC-10 delivers detailed recordings with minimal self-noise. Its 200-ohm impedance ensures compatibility with most professional audio interfaces and mixers. Powered by standard 48V phantom power and using a reliable three-pin XLR connector, it integrates seamlessly into professional setups. Despite its robust performance, the microphone weighs only 125g, making it easy to position accurately for precise instrument placement.
