You name it, the SIGMA 2 excels on it. Seriously. You'll be hard pushed to find a source that this microphone can't capture with conviction.
Unlike most ribbon microphones, the SIGMA 2 is highly sensitive and has an incredibly low noise floor.

Road ready
Sontronics understand that ribbon microphones are incredibly sensitive and susceptible to damage. That's why the SIGMA 2 comes complete with a custom-built shockmount.

Nothing will be able to get to the microphone whilst it's inside the rugged ABS flightcase.
