The Sontronics Apollo 2 is an active stereo ribbon microphone that excels in precision, spaciousness and musical detail reproduction. Like its predecessor, the Apollo 2 has become a fixture within professional studios, concert halls and sound stages worldwide, from classical productions to high-end film and orchestral recordings.
The Apollo 2 features two highly sensitive ribbon elements arranged in an X-Y Blumlein configuration. This arrangement delivers an exceptionally accurate three-dimensional stereo image that fully captures both the acoustics of the room and the source itself. Every detail is captured with natural balance and realistic placement in the stereo field. This stereo ribbon microphone is ideally suited for stereo recording, orchestral and choral overheads, ensembles and capturing ambience and room character. Solo instruments can also be recorded in stereo or mono with a wide, open soundstage, smooth high frequencies and full, controlled reproduction of mids and lows.
Thanks to active electronics and phantom power, the Apollo 2 combines the classic ribbon sound with modern output and stability, making it reliable in both studio and live environments.
