Sontronics Halo dynamic microphone for guitar amps

Main Features

• Dynamic microphone designed especially for guitar cabs
• Vintage inspired design
• Integral shock mount

The Sontronics HALO is a striking dynamic microphone designed specifically for use on guitar amps and cabinets.


The HALO is based on the technology found inside Sontronics' STC-80 handheld dynamic mic, which gives great results on guitar amps and cabs as well as the vocals it was originally designed to handle. HALO also gives all the bite, crunch and power that you want from a guitar amp but without needing to touch the EQ, and the springs built into the clever circular design mean the capsule is isolated from stage or floor vibrations. 'Since launching the STC-80 a couple of years back, it's become a best seller for us,' says Coley, 'and users tell us all the time that it sounds amazing on guitar amps, both live and in the studio. So we've taken the dynamic capsule from the STC-80, tweaked it a little bit and added a bit of design flair to create a microphone that guitarists won't want to live without!'

Sontronics HALO is sure to become a favourite with recording guitarists everywhere, especially as the price is £20 less than the RRP originally planned, making it just a few pounds/euros/yen more than the more ordinary looking mics usually chosen for guitar amps.
