The Sontronics SOLO is a premium handheld dynamic microphone that proudly holds the title of being the first and only dynamic mic to be entirely designed, developed, and manufactured in the UK. Engineered for both rigorous live performances and critical studio recordings, it has quickly become a formidable alternative to industry-standard handhelds. At its core lies a bespoke high-output capsule that captures all the presence, depth, and clarity of your performance right out of the box, completely negating the need for inline signal boosters, cloudlifters, or heavy-handed EQ corrections at the mixing desk.
A standout feature of the Sontronics SOLO is its incredibly tight supercardioid polar pattern. This specific design ensures superb off-axis rejection, aggressively minimizing unwanted background noise and stage bleed while delivering exceptional resistance to feedback. This makes it an incredibly safe and predictable workhorse on loud, demanding stages. While it excels with live vocals, rap, and spoken word, its robust dynamic handling makes it equally impressive when placed in front of blaring guitar amp cabinets, snappy snare drums, and harmonicas.
Built to withstand the uncompromising nature of touring, the SOLO features a solid aluminum body finished with a military-grade black anodized coating and a beautifully laser-etched logo. It feels substantial and perfectly balanced in the hand, without being overly heavy. Operating as a straightforward plug-and-play device, it does not require 48V phantom power. The Sontronics SOLO comes complete with a dedicated microphone clip, a thread adapter to fit any mic stand, and a zip-up, leather-effect pouch for safe storage and transport.
