The STC-20 Pack is also a best-selling microphone in education, where its ease-of-use and clean, realistic sound ensures tracks will sit neatly in the mix every time.

STC-20 Pack-Behind the Grille

With a fixed cardioid pattern, the STC-20 microphone features a large open grille that houses the same one-inch gold-sputtered capsule as found in Sontronics’ hugely popular STC-2. It is supplied with all the accessories you need for tracking, which means you can get plugged in and recording within minutes.

Designed to be an affordable entry point into the Sontronics range, the STC-20 microphone gives you the smooth roll-off in the high frequencies characteristic of all Sontronics condenser mics. If you feel you need more flexibility in terms of pad and filter controls, check out the STC-2 microphone (on which the STC-20 is based), which also comes with shockmount and flight case. For even more versatility, the STC-3X Pack comes with the same accessories as the STC-20 Pack and offers three polar patterns: cardioid, omni, and figure-of-eight.  Like all Sontronics microphones, the STC-20 is protected by a lifetime warranty.

What the pros are saying about the ST-20

 “The STC-20 Pack delivers on all fronts!” – Paul Morrissey (Play Music Magazine)

“STC-20 really flatters vocals and offers clear, sparkling top end. It’s also great on acoustic guitar… sounds massive but with that high-end shimmer that makes any guitar sound much more expensive than it is!” Simon Croft, singer-songwriter

“It sounded fantastic on spoken word, male and female sung vocals, acoustic guitar and as a distant mic on an electric guitar. Everything I used it for, it simply worked straight away – it’s probably one of the unfussiest mics I’ve ever used. In summary: loved it, want one!” Andi Picker, reviewer (iGuitar magazine

“This is a superb value package – with a well balanced, transparent sounding condenser mic, plus a heap of must-have accessories so you can get recording immediately. For recording or broadcasting, it offers superbly balanced vocals” –Paul Morrissey – singer-songwriter-reviewer (iDJ Magazine)
