The Sontronics Mercury is a valve microphone designed for a wide range of recording applications, from vocals to percussion and string ensembles. The Sontronics Mercury has been designed in the UK with the invaluable input of recording artists and Abbey Road engineers, who have helped it achieve immense sonic accuracy and audio fidelity. At its core is a hand-selected European ECC81/12AT7 valve or vacuum tube, chosen for its ability to add warmth and punch. The Sontronics Mercury also boasts an almost infinite choice of polar patterns with three main omnidirectional, cardioid, figure-of-eight and almost everything in between. The sweepable control knob lets you switch seamlessly between polar patterns to find the perfect pattern to capture every nuance of your sound. Additional controls include a -10dB Pad and 75Hz low cut filter that is easily accessible via switches. The Sontronics Mercury is also extremely robust, thanks to a highly robust all-metal design making it perfect for the rigorous requirements of the studio environment. The included power supply includes a medical-grade interference filter and a low-noise design for superior audio performance.
