Because both elements share one body, phase relationships between the left and right channels stay locked, which matters enormously once a mix gets collapsed to mono. It is built for distance miking — room, orchestra, choir, drum overheads — anywhere a wide, natural stereo image beats a spot mic.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach of the two ribbons can also be engaged on its own, effectively turning the APOLLO 2 into a conventional figure-eight mono ribbon microphone when that is all a session calls for. Sontronics builds an RFI filter into the circuit of its ribbon mics, a detail most ribbon designs skip, which keeps radio interference out of the signal and makes the mic safer to use on stages thick with wireless gear as well as in the studio. Given how exposed the ribbon material is, the ABS flightcase and shockmount that ship with the mic are not just extras — they protect a genuinely delicate transducer.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;border-left:4px solid #111111;padding:8px 12px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;margin:28px 0 14px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 4px;padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Ribbon Microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e: Features a precision-engineered stereo ribbon element, perfect for capturing immersive, natural soundscapes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhantom-Powered\u003c\/strong\u003e: Apollo 2 requires phantom power, enhancing its sensitivity and overall performance.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBalanced Frequency Response\u003c\/strong\u003e: Captures a balanced spectrum of sound, from the deepest lows to smooth highs, with exceptional detail and energy.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStunning Stereo Imaging\u003c\/strong\u003e: Delivers an accurate and expansive stereo image, making it ideal for recording orchestras, choirs, and live performances.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Tuned Ribbon Elements\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ensures exceptional sensitivity and ultra-low noise, capturing even the most subtle nuances in sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRugged, Black-Anodised Body\u003c\/strong\u003e: Combines durability with elegance, making it both a practical and visually striking addition to any studio setup.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect for Studio and Live Use\u003c\/strong\u003e: Versatile for both professional studio recordings and live sound applications with RF filters built-in, delivering consistent performance in any environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFavoured by Professionals\u003c\/strong\u003e: Trusted by top-tier recording engineers and musicians for its unparalleled sonic accuracy and reliability.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;border-left:4px solid #111111;padding:8px 12px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;margin:28px 0 14px;\"\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 4px;padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eStereo recording\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePiano\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOrchestral \u0026amp; Choral recordings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCapturing ambience \u0026amp; character\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOverhead microphone for drums \u0026amp; piano\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;border-left:4px solid #111111;padding:8px 12px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;margin:28px 0 14px;\"\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 4px;padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMic Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Stereo ribbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Blumlein X-Y figure-of-eight (x2)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFreq.

Like the rest of Sontronics’ ribbon range, its active circuit means the mic outputs a healthier signal than a passive ribbon design, so it behaves well with ordinary preamps instead of demanding huge amounts of clean gain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInside is the same 1.8-micron ribbon and neodymium magnet arrangement used in the mic it descends from, paired with a custom-wound transformer built specifically for this circuit. Sontronics’ RFI filter is fitted as standard, guarding against radio-frequency interference on stage as well as in the studio, and the mic is hand-built in the UK with a unique shockmount and ABS flightcase included for storage and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;border-left:4px solid #111111;padding:8px 12px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;margin:28px 0 14px;\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 4px;padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePhantom-Powered Ribbon Microphone\u003c\/strong\u003e: Utilises a highly sensitive ribbon element with the added advantage of phantom power, providing a stronger output signal while maintaining the classic ribbon mic sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmooth, Warm Sound\u003c\/strong\u003e: Delivers the signature warm, natural, and smooth sound associated with ribbon microphones, making it ideal for vocals, strings, brass, and woodwind instruments.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSuperb Sensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e: Captures the subtle nuances of any performance with exceptional sensitivity, offering detailed and natural recordings even at lower sound levels.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFigure-8 Polar Pattern\u003c\/strong\u003e: Features a true figure-of-8 polar pattern, capturing sound equally from the front and rear while rejecting noise from the sides, ideal for stereo recordings and close-miking.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Self-Noise\u003c\/strong\u003e: Engineered with ultra-low self-noise circuitry, ensuring that even the quietest details of a performance are captured without unwanted noise.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHand-Built in the UK\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each Sigma 2 is meticulously hand-built in the UK, ensuring the highest quality and consistency in every microphone.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eRetro-Style Design\u003c\/strong\u003e: Features a classic, elegant design with a durable, all-metal body that reflects the vintage charm of traditional ribbon microphones.\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVersatile Studio Use\u003c\/strong\u003e: Ideal for studio applications, whether you're recording vocals, acoustic instruments, or orchestral performances, offering a rich and natural sound.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;border-left:4px solid #111111;padding:8px 12px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;margin:28px 0 14px;\"\u003eIdeal For\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 4px;padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eVocals\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSpoken Word\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolo Woodwind\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSolo Strings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePiano\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAcoustic Guitars\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3 style=\"background:#f3f3f3;border-left:4px solid #111111;padding:8px 12px;font-size:18px;line-height:1.3;font-weight:700;text-transform:uppercase;letter-spacing:.04em;margin:28px 0 14px;\"\u003eTech Specs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul style=\"margin:0 0 4px;padding-left:22px;\"\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Ribbon\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Figure-of-eight\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20Hz to 15kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 24mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e ≤150 Ohms\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax.
