Product Overview

Expand Your Sonic Horizon with Modular British Engineering

The Sontronics Omni Capsule provides owners of the STC-1 pencil microphone or the STC-1S matched stereo pair with complete acoustic freedom without the expense of purchasing entirely new microphones. By simply unscrewing the stock cardioid head and threading on this omnidirectional module, you modify the structural behavior of your mic to capture sound uniformly from all directions. This structural expansion delivers a completely natural low-end extension and an open, transparent spatial response that is perfect for professional, broadcast, and classical recording environments.

Product Description

True 360-Degree Pickup and Organic Low-End Accuracy:

Unlike directional patterns, the Sontronics Omni Capsule functions as a pure pressure transducer, capturing acoustic energy evenly from the front, sides, and rear. Because it does not rely on phase-cancellation ports to reject sound, it completely eliminates the proximity effect (the bass-heavy buildup that occurs when positioning a microphone close to a sound source). This allows you to place your STC-1 incredibly close to acoustic strings, grand piano soundboards, or delicate acoustic guitars while maintaining an entirely uncolored, true-to-life bass response.

Flawless Phase Matching and Impeccable Stereo Tracking:

When used as a pair on an STC-1S stereo configuration, two Sontronics Omni Capsules unlock elite recording techniques like Spaced Pair (A/B) arrays. The incredible manufacturing tolerances guaranteed by Sontronics ensure that adding these capsules to a factory-matched STC-1S system maintains strict phase-coherence. This allows you to accurately map out massive pipe organs, orchestral movements, vocal ensembles, or multi-instrument percussion arrays with a wide, breathtakingly deep, three-dimensional stereo image that captures the real environment of the hall.

Precise Threaded Execution and Hardcore Road Durability:

Crafted with precision-machined threading, the capsule module screws seamlessly and tightly onto the existing gold-plated contact pins of your STC-1 or STC-1S microphone body. Built out of heavy-duty, tour-grade metal alloy, it protects the ultra-sensitive, gold-sputtered small-diaphragm membrane inside. Its compact size ensures it integrates smoothly into your current mic setup without adding unneeded weight, making it simple to re-balance on your boom arm. To keep the delicate internal mechanics completely safe when not in use, the capsule arrives inside its own protective storage capsule casing.

Key Features
