Sontronics STC-3X Pack - Multi-Pattern LDC Mic with Accessories

The Sontronics STC-3X Pack is 3-pattern (cardioid, omni, figure-8), dual large-diaphragm condenser mic with -10dB pad, 75Hz low-cut filter, and comes with spider-style shockmount, nylon mesh pop filter, XLR cable, and mic pouch.

The Sontronics STC-3X Pack is not just an all-in-one recording package aimed at the home studio or recording musician (though pros are finding it a great option as well), it’s one of the most affordable large-diaphragm condenser mics that offers  professional-quality recording, plus the versatility that multi-pattern mics provide. The STC-3X features dual one-inch, gold-sputtered diaphragms housed in a large, open grille. Plus, its high-pass filter and pad give it greater flexibility. The STC-3X Pack also comes with a full complement of accessories, including a spider-style shockmount, nylon mesh pop filter, 15' (5m) XLR cable, and vinyl, pouch with zipper and leather look.

  • 3-stage pad (0dB, -10dB, -20dB) and 3-stage filter (linear, 75Hz, 150Hz)
  • Clear mids and highs, solid low end
  • Smooth roll-off in high frequencies
  • Extremely versatile
  • Comes with free pop screen, shockmount, 15' (5m) XLR cable and zippered pouch

Sontronics STC-3X Pack-Behind the Grille

The British-designed STC-3X microphone is a multi-pattern condenser featuring the three most commonly used polar patterns-cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-of-eight. These are selectable via a simple switch on the rear of the mic. In figure-eight mode, the STC-3X lets you pick up room ambience without setting up an additional mic-perfect for ensemble miking, stringed instruments, for face-to-face harmony vocals or rapping, cross-table interview, and also for X-Y or mid-side stereo miking applications.

The STC-3X boasts a dual one-inch, gold-sputtered diaphragm housed in a large, open grille. Its filter and pad controls make it a versatile, flexible workhorse in any recording situation. In fact, thanks to its three-stage pad and three-stage filter, as well as its three polar patterns and bundled accessories, the Sontronics STC-3X mic, is a best-seller for educational facilities (see below for a small list of schools and colleges using it). Like all Sontronics mics, the STC-3X microphone is protected a free lifetime warranty.

The Sontronics STC-3X is available in black or silver and comes with the following FREE accessories:

  • Spider-style shockmount (with two spare elastics)
  • Pro-quality, nylon-mesh pop filter (modeled on the best-selling ST-POP)
  • 15' (5m) female-to-male XLR cable
  • Vinyl, leather-look, microphone pouch
