Sontronics Delta 2 Ribbon Microphone For Guitar Amps Sax Brass
- Product Code: eq111801
-
Get that prized ribbon sound on your electric guitar, saxophone, or brass with the Delta 2 Ribbon Microphone from Sontronics. Unlike traditional ribbon designs that wither and die when exposed to phantom power, the Delta 2 actually requires it, using the voltage to power its specially designed capsule and custom-wound transformer to deliver a rich, robust sound for both studio recordings and live performances.
The single ribbon capsule offers a figure-of-eight pickup pattern that picks up sound from both sides of the mic, allowing the mic to capture both the primary sound source and additional room tone. With the ability to handle maximum SPLs of up to 140 dB, the Delta 2 offers a sturdier alternative to the delicate ribbons of the past, allowing you to place it closer to loud sound sources—including blisteringly loud guitar amps. A sophisticated shockmount is included that effectively isolates the mic from vibrations and handling noise while leaving the mic element completely uncovered.

Related Questions and Answers
Q: 1. I want to use it in Nigeria. Please, is the charging AC volt 120-230V or 110-120v?
A: The EcoFlow Delta 2 Portable Power Station is 100-120v only.
Q: 2. I am considering to order a FetHead for my dynamic mic and wondering if there will be any sound or gain difference between 1) when plugging the FetHead into my mixer/recorder(Zoom F4) first and then plugging the XLR cable to the mic and 2) when plugging the cable into my Zoom F4 first and then plugging the FetHead into my mic? I am not sure if plugging the FetHead into the mixer/recorder first is even possible or not because all the YouTube reviewers use their FetHeads directly on their mics.
A: if you plug in the fathead at your mixer, you would be amplifying the noise level from your cable run as well as your mic level. The fatheads use is to get it as close to your micrphone as possible, prior to your cable run. If youre simply trying to boost gain on a short , noiseless cable run, either end is fine I suppose.
Q: 3. Will the Triton Audio FetHead In-Line Microphone Preamp work with the Sony ECM-44B - Omnidirectional Lavalier Microphone?
A: The Sony ECM-44B is a condenser but can't be phantom powered. The ECM-44B requires an internal AA battery thus the FetHead Regular will work fine. If you want to use an ECM-55B or ECM-77B you'll need the FetHead Phantom unless you want to locally power the mic with an AA battery. Once locally powered, the mic will behave like a standard dynamic mic.
Q: 4. is this suitable for powering video production systems with mirrorless cameras, BMD monitors, and a Zoom F8n audio recorder?
A: Yes, the EcoFlow Delta 2 Portable Power Station can power multiple devices that have wall plugs as well as USB. Keep in mind of the run time that you require based on the power your gear requires. See below: Charges & Runtimes 10W light: 31 hours 40W fan, 40W CPAP: 16 hours 120W refrigerator: 7-14 hours 1300W microwave: 36 minutes 1080W electric drill, 1100W chop saw: 42 minutes 1400W circular saw, 1260W electric hammer: 36 minutes 11Wh phone: 89 charges 16Wh camera: 60 charges 40Wh drone: 25 charges
Q: 5. Anyone have experience using the 4038 to record flugelhorn?
A: The Coles Microphones 4038 Studio Ribbon Microphone should do a very good job to capture the sound from a flugelhorn. It is compatible for recording horns and brass instruments such as trumpet, trombone, saxophone, baritone saxophone, and soprano saxophone, so it should work very well for flugelhorn too.
Q: 6. How stiff is the flexible arm?
A: Very stiff. So stiff that the first thing I did was try to reposition by holding the clamp and the clamp snapped right at the drill hole in the handle. So important to note you can only position by holding the arm by itself. This is a great product but the clamp is the weak point. BTW the clamp just bolts on so I just got a metal one at home depot for 2.99 and switched it out. After boring a hole in seconds handle and breaking that sibe off to.
Q: 7. What's included in the box?
A: This microphone comes with the following:Cascade Microphones FAT HEAD II Ribbon Microphone (Brown/Gold)Premium ShockmountDeluxe Oil-Stained Wood BoxMicrofiber Cleaning ClothDrawcord Cloth Storage PouchAluminum CaseLimited 5-Year Warranty on MicrophoneLimited 1-Year Warranty on Ribbon Capsule
Q: 8. do I need to have 48v phantom power on to use my Fat Head mic ?
A: No you will be using the included transformer which supplies the necessary power to the microphone.
Q: 9. Regular vs phantom amplification level. The regular claims 27db of amp and the phantom says 18db. Does the regular actually have stronger amplification? I heard from testers that the regular only boosts about 20db in reality is that true? If I get the phantom pass one will it amplify less?
A: I use a regular Fethead and it delivers a boost of about 20 db. I use it often with my Zoom and Tascam small recorders and it does a great job of boosting gain-hungry mics such as SM7B and RE20. Hope this helps.
Q: 10. Does it works with SHAPE Cage with 15mm Rod System for Sony a7 II, a7S II, & a7R II ? I lost the adaptor
A: Hello Marcos,Yes it does. You can contact us directly if you need to purchase the Delta plate adapter. You can give us a call at 1.888.968.9810, or send us an email at: support@shapewlb.comWe hope this helps and we thank you for your interest in our products. The SHAPE team.
