These are modified versions of the midrange drivers used in the flagship Platinum PL500 speakers (£15,000 a pair). This tweeter is mated to a pair of second-generation RDT (Rigid Diaphragm Technology) 10cm mid/bass units. The advantage of such high reach – most standard domes struggle much beyond 25kHz – is that, all else being equal, the higher harmonics of an instrument can be reproduced more accurately. The company states upper frequency response as an impressive 60kHz (with a -6dB limit) for the Studios. This MPD (Micro Pleated Diaphragm) unit is claimed to produce smooth, fast and extended output. Rather than using a conventional dome design, the engineers have gone for a low-mass pleated diaphragm that works, in much the same way as an accordion, by rapidly squeezing the pleats to produce a sound.

Ours are the only ribbon mics in the world to boast this feature! The electronics uniquely incorporate RFI (radio frequency interference) filters that filter out unwanted radio frequencies, making DELTA 2 (and our other ribbon mics) even more suited to live use than before. Hand-built in the our Sontronics HQ and featuring our own unique circuitry, the DELTA 2 boasts UK-made electronics including a custom-wound premium-quality transformer (made in our hometown of Poole, England), and the same excellent ribbon motor as the original DELTA. DELTA 2 captures the true tone of whatever instrument you’re recording, allowing it to sit perfectly in the mix without requiring excessive gain or EQ. The DELTA 2 does an incredible job of capturing every element of your guitar sound, whether you’re recording solo parts in the studio or miking up your amp on stage. STEVE STEVENS, Guitarist/Songwriter (Billy Idol, Terry Bozzio, Michael Jackson)ĭELTA 2 sounds even more stunning than the original, capturing amazing clarity and detail in the higher frequencies, together with astonishingly powerful mid and low tones. If it sounds good coming out of the amp, DELTA will translate that perfectly, in 3D clarity. ![]() It sounded great, right in front of the speaker with no EQ. ""DELTA is stunning… it's a fantastic-sounding mic. Its rugged build and multi-layer baffling make it ready for life on the road as well as in the studio. Compared to our SIGMA 2, DELTA 2's reduced sensitivity enables it to capture incredibly powerful signals without overloading its internal preamp circuit. Like the original, DELTA 2 is not only the perfect partner for guitar amplifiers but also ideal for use with other high-SPL sources, such as trumpet, trombone and tenor sax. The original DELTA, along with our HALO dynamic mic for guitar amps, has become a must-have for many studios and live guitarists, from Bernard Butler to Radiohead's Ed O'Brien, from Steve Stevens to Aerosmith, and when it comes to build quality and perfect sound reproduction, the new DELTA 2 turns the dial up to 11! SONTRONICS DELTA 2 phantom-powered ribbon mic for guitar amps & brassĪ decade after we launched the world’s first ribbon microphone designed specifically to handle higher SPL sources, its successor, the Sontronics DELTA 2, has arrived.
