Sontronics Mercury Valve/Tube Condenser Microphone - Vintage Edition
Tax included.
Description
Absolute pinnacle in audio precision
Sontronics Mercury is a variable-pattern valve condenser microphone that guarantees you spectacular results, whatever you’re recording. Mercury is hand-built in the UK and uses only premium-grade electronic components with exceptionally low tolerances, rarely used in microphone manufacturing. This results in an impeccably clean signal and superbly accurate reproduction of vocals and instruments. Mercury’s power supply features both pad and filter switches and a fully sweepable polar pattern control that provides an infinite choice of pickups, from omni to figure-of-eight and every nuance in between.
All this, plus its exceptionally low self-noise make Mercury a must-have for anyone serious about achieving the very best quality results.
Set Apart from the Rest
A Mercury sets itself apart from all other valve mics thanks to its cutting-edge technology, as its designer and Sontronics' founder Trevor Coley explains…
“During Mercury’s development, we wanted to push boundaries and so experimented with super-low-tolerance components more commonly found in aerospace and medical industries. We also laboriously tested almost a hundred vacuum tubes in our search for ‘that Mercury sound’, landing on the European ECC81/12AT7.
A true studio workhorse, the Mercury gives absolutely stunning results on whatever you put it in front of, from solo brass, strings and woodwind instruments to piano, harp or guitar, from vocals and voiceover to choir, ensemble and orchestra.
“No serious studio should be without this pinnacle of British microphone engineering!”
