The silver STC-1S from Sontronics is a stereo mic set for the stage and studio that delivers high-quality recordings without breaking the bank. Designed in Britain, this matched pair of flexible small-diaphragm condenser microphones can be used on a wide variety of instruments and has been engineered to deliver sonic results rivaling far more expensive pencil mics. The mics are well suited to recording acoustic guitars, pianos, choirs, strings, woodwinds, percussion, brass, drum overheads, ensembles, and more.

Each 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 stereo mounting bar, mic clips, foam windshields, and a wooden box for transport and storage are included.

Q: 1. International warranty ? User in singapore.

A: The limited manufacturer's warranty provided with the Rycote OM-08 does not include any stipulations regarding country of purchase; the warranty terms provide coverage for all purchases from an authorized reseller (such as B&H).

Q: 2. Is there a mount for this microphone on a HVX-255?

Q: 3. I noted that this microphone has 5 pins but my audio recorders are both 3-pin (Marantz PMD661 and Zoom H6). Can I purchase an adapter cable? This may be dumb question. I'm new to this aspect of recording, and I can't seem to find a definitive answer on any website.

A: Three reasons I bought the NT4 is that it comes with a five pin adapter to two three pin plugs, also a five pin adapter to 3.5mm audio adapter and it can be run off an internal 9 volt battery. None of my digital recorders supply Phantom Power . The audio level at analog output is more than sufficient to connect to my Sony PCM-D50.

Q: 4. I recently purchased the SONY PXW-X70 PROFESSIONAL XDCAM CAMCORDER. It comes with an XLR handle with microphone holder, but no mic. Is this the right one to pair with it? Are there other (better) options? I want to outfit the camera right. Thanks. I am referring to the Sony ECM-MS2 Stereo Electret Condenser Microphone BTW.

A: The correct mic for your PXW-X70 would depend on your application. The ECM-MS2 is a stereo mic. It is compatible with your camera, and great for recording audio such as general ambience, music and situations where left/right positional information is required. For interview and speech recording in front of the camera many prefer a mono shotgun mic such as the Rode NTG-1 due to its tighter pickup pattern and minimal off axis pickup. a href= http://bhpho.to/1hg4l94 target= _blank http://bhpho.to/1hg4l94/a

Q: 7. I recently purchased the ECM MS2 mic and no where in the instructions or users manual does it tell you how to hook up phantom power. I have the NEX FS700 camera that this mic is for and both channels can be set to use phantom power, but that is if you are using two separate mics. How do I properly set up phantom power for this mic?

A: Phantom power will be On for both XLR inputs so just plug in the microphone in on the left channel of the camera. The microphone disables phantom power for the right capsule if it is not connected to the camera.

A: The ECM-MS2 has Stereo (M-S) and Mono capabilities, and the ECM-VG is Mono only. The ECM-MS2 is much shorter in length ( 5.5"), making it more suitable for placing on a smaller camera and the ECM-VG is over 8" in length. Both of these microphones require phantom power (40-52 V DC).
