Home / Sontronics SATURN 2 - Multi-Pattern Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone
Product Overview
The Next-Generation Masterwork of Studio Engineering
The Sontronics SATURN 2 is the highly anticipated evolution of the iconic original Saturn microphone, redesigned from the ground up in collaboration with world-class engineers, producers, and voice artists. Known for its distinct vintage-inspired ring suspension layout, this solid-state FET condenser sets a new benchmark for transient accuracy and transparency. Its pristine, uncolored signal path and ultra-low self-noise make it an incredibly versatile powerhouse, handling everything from delicate whispered vocals to high-intensity instrumental sessions.
Product Description
Five Polar Patterns for Total Spatial Control:
At the heart of the SATURN 2 is a highly sensitive dual-diaphragm capsule that unlocks massive versatility in the studio. Using the tactile slide switches on the front of the heavy-duty mic body, you can choose between five discrete polar patterns: Omnidirectional, Subcardioid (Wide Cardioid), Cardioid, Hypercardioid, and Figure-of-Eight. This allows you to fluidly adapt the microphone to any environment—whether you want to isolate a single vocalist, balance room reflections, or set up intricate mid-side or Blumlein stereo arrays.
Advanced Controls and Multi-Stage Custom Filters:
To ensure a clean signal straight into your interface, the SATURN 2 comes equipped with flexible onboard padding and filtering options. It features a two-stage switchable attenuation pad (-10dB and -20dB), allowing it to comfortably manage high-SPL sound sources like brass sections, drum overheads, or screaming guitar amplifiers. Furthermore, the dual-stage low-cut filter (75Hz and 125Hz) lets you instantly roll off rumble from passing traffic, floor vibrations, or muddy low-frequency proximity buildup.
Iconic Decoupled Ring Frame and UK Craftsmanship:
The physical architecture of the SATURN 2 is a blend of retro-industrial beauty and high-performance mechanics. The microphone capsule is suspended inside a specialized shock-decoupled outer ring frame. This clever design isolates the sensitive element from structural vibrations, eliminating the need for huge, clumsy external spider shockmounts. Built with less-than-1% tolerance internal components and hand-assembled in England, this premium microphone arrives inside a luxurious velvet-lined wooden presentation box to keep it safe for a lifetime of studio production.
