Our gorgeous Apollo 2 is a beautiful sounding stereo ribbon microphone that has become, like the original Apollo before it, a must-have for studios, composers, venues and sound stages all round the world, from Glyndebourne to Hollywood. Hand-crafted in the UK using the highest quality components including a hand-wound transformer and cutting-edge laser-welding technology, Apollo 2 will guarantee astonishing results, whatever and wherever you’re recording. With its two highly sensitive ribbon motors set in X-Y Blumlein formation, Apollo 2 will capture a truly stunning and superbly accurate three-dimensional image, picking up every detail of your recording space and your instruments or voices.
Ideal for stereo recording, as an overhead for orchestra, choir or instrumental ensemble, or to capture the full character of a solo instrument in stereo or mono, Apollo 2 will give you natural, expansive results with perfect clarity in the highs and a balanced depth and fullness to the mids and lows. Thanks to its phantom-powered circuit and custom-wound transformers, Apollo 2 requires very little gain and no EQ, so achieving the best results is completely effortless. Our Apollo 2, Sigma 2 and Delta 2 are the first ribbon mics in the world to incorporate RFI filters in their circuitry, which means the signal remains crystal clear, even if used live. Sontronics Apollo 2 really will take your breath away and impart a quality to your recordings that you didn’t imagine possible!
