Get professional sounding instrument recordings without breaking the bank using the silver STC-1 from Sontronics. Designed in Britain, this flexible small-diaphragm condenser microphone can be used on a wide variety of instruments and has been engineered to deliver sonic results rivaling far more expensive pencil mics. Well suited to recording acoustic guitars and other strummed instruments, the STC-1 can also be employed to capture strings, woodwinds, percussion, and brass. Adding a second mic (available separately) gives you a stereo tool kit ready to capture pianos, drum overheads, choirs, ensembles and more.

The mic features a 3-stage high-pass filter (Off / 75 Hz / 150 Hz), allowing you to reduce unwanted low-end, while a 3-stage pad (Off / -10 dB / -20 dB) lets you record loud sources at up to 137 dB. A mic clip, foam windshield, and wooden box for transport and storage are included.

Q: 5. Can I use the Rode NT5 (matched pair) for choir recording? Thank you.

A: Yes, that is what I am using them for. They sound great even from a distance of 20 feet. This is quite remarkable considering our choir does not face the microphones, but rather face each other. Our choir is located in the back of the church in a balcony. I mounted them on the side pillars and angled them towards the choir.

Q: 10. Can I connect these directly to my Zoom F3 ( since the NT5 has Male 3 Pin XLR) or do I need an XLR connector?

A: Although the Rode NT5 Cardioid Studio Condenser Microphones have XLR male connections onboard, their form factor would not allow them to be connected directly to the inputs on the Zoom F3 Portable Field Recorder. The NT5 should make connection to the F3's inputs via standard 3-Pin XLR cable.
