Sontronics Zeta

The Zeta is a new professional JFET microphone that delivers a finished and characterful sound right from the first recording. Thanks to a boutique Lundahl transformer and manual tuning in England, this microphone sounds clear, warm and musical without feeling forced. The very high sensitivity captures every breath, texture and nuance, while the extremely low self-noise level ensures clean, reliable recordings in virtually any room.

Whether you're recording vocals, voiceover, acoustic guitar, piano or string instruments, ZETA adds an expressive, three-dimensional quality to any performance. For modern vocal producers, this means instant presence in the mix, voice actors benefit from intimate clarity without distracting background noise, and studios have a deployable instrument that effortlessly adapts to different recording situations.

Zeta is not designed to copy a vintage microphone, but has its own sound character. The high frequencies are smooth, the midrange is full and the overall sound remains natural and rich across the spectrum. This is a microphone for creators who want recordings that are lively, musical and immediate.

Hand built in England and developed for those who value sound and detail, Zeta combines modern precision with boutique character.

Internal shockmount - no separate shockmount needed
Zeta is equipped with an internal shockmount system developed specifically for this microphone. This unique system effectively decouples the capsule from mechanical vibrations, such as footsteps, tripod noise and other unwanted contact noise. Because the shockmount is fully integrated into the microphone, there is no need for an external shockmount.
