Sontronics Apollo 2 Stereo Ribbon Microphone
Product Overview
The Sontronics Apollo 2 is a precision-engineered, active stereo ribbon microphone designed for professional studio and live recording environments. Built as the successor to the original Apollo, this microphone has earned its reputation as a trusted tool for composers, engineers, and sound designers working in world-class studios, concert halls, and scoring stages.
Featuring two highly sensitive ribbon motors arranged in a true X-Y Blumlein configuration, the Apollo 2 captures an exceptionally accurate three-dimensional stereo image. This design allows it to reproduce spatial depth, ambience, and tonal balance with remarkable realism, making it ideal for orchestral, choral, and ensemble recordings where detail and placement matter most.
With smooth high frequencies, rich midrange depth, and controlled low-end response, the Apollo 2 delivers natural and expansive results whether used for stereo recording, overhead applications, or capturing the full character of a solo instrument. Phantom-powered operation ensures consistent performance, while its rugged black-anodized body makes it equally suited for studio installations and demanding live environments.
