Supercardioid Dynamic Microphone

The Sontronics Solo is an updated version of Sontronics’ STC-80. It provides several improvements over the STC-80:

  • The Solo is lighter. Where the STC-80 weighed 1106g, the Solo weighs 792g. This is due to a change in body material from die-cast metal to machined aluminum.

  • The capsule is now made in the UK, as is the rest of the microphone. The STC-80 was manufactured in Portugal.

  • The sensitivity has increased from 20mV/Pa to 32mV/Pa

  • The dynamic capsule is different, although Sontronics has not released details.

  • The pickup pattern on the Solo is supercardioid, making it more directional than the STC-80.

It is expected that the STC-80 will be discontinued in favor of the Solo.
