Product Description

Following on from the worldwide success of Sontronics’ iconic SIGMA ribbon microphone, the company soon received a lot of feedback from users who were loving its results on all kinds of instruments, especially guitar amps. This led Sontronics’ founder and designer, Trevor Coley, to design a ribbon mic specifically for use on amps and cabs that could be used both in the studio and live... and so Sontronics DELTA was born.
 
Where SIGMA found its place in the heart of the studio and recording world, DELTA's incredible capability in miking guitar cabinets set it up to become a new standard in live sound recording.
 
Show it anything from subtle electro-acoustic finesse to shred-metal mayhem and DELTA takes whatever you throw at it, delivering a world-class reproduction every time.
 
DELTA's sonic footprint is tailored to sit the mic comfortably in a live mix, while keeping its subject clear and present. DELTA's optimised sensitivity and 48V preamplified electronics deliver rock-solid audio consistency combined with a significant improvement in signal-to-noise compared with traditional transformer-based ribbon microphones.

Sontronics DELTA comes with Sontronics' unique, super-effective shockmount in a rugged aluminium flightcase. This really is the best ribbon mic ever for guitar cabinets!

Quotes

“If it sounds good coming out of the amp, I can guarantee that DELTA will translate that perfectly, in almost 3D clarity.”
Steve Stevens, Guitarist/Songwriter
 
“DELTA is amazing! It handles anything you throw at it, from quiet, non-distorted guitar to balls-on-the-wall, amp-on-11 stuff!”
Justin Smith, Engineer (Queens of the Stone Age)
 
“DELTA has an amazing smooth richness. It really captures the body of the guitar amp – you can’t go wrong! I’ve also been trying it on my drums, particularly the toms. They sound massive!”
Ed Harcourt, Singer/Songwriter/Producer (Sophie Ellis-Bextor, Ren Harvieu)
 
“DELTA is great on electric guitars. It has that ribbon sound but it doesn’t break! Plus I really like it vocally, especially on softly sung tracks.”
Carey Willetts, Artist/Writer/Producer (Athlete, Boxes)
