Sontronics SIGMA 2 Phantom-Powered Ribbon Microphone

Sontronics SIGMA 2 – Vintage-Style Phantom-Powered Ribbon Microphone with Stunning Clarity

The Sontronics SIGMA 2 is a beautifully crafted ribbon microphone that blends classic sonic character with modern engineering precision. Designed and built in the UK, SIGMA 2 offers the warmth and natural tone expected from a traditional ribbon mic, paired with the convenience of phantom power and compatibility with any preamp, audio interface, or mixer.

Renowned for its high sensitivity, low self-noise, and rich tonal depth, SIGMA 2 is ideal for capturing vocals, strings, woodwinds, and even guitar amps or percussion (when used with proper care). Its figure-of-eight polar pattern makes it a go-to for solo sources or stereo recording setups when used in matched pairs.

As part of Sontronics’ elite ribbon range—alongside the DELTA 2 and APOLLO 2—SIGMA 2 showcases British audio innovation at its finest, and has earned its place in top recording studios, live venues, and broadcast environments across the globe.

Best Suited For:

  • Studio vocals and intimate acoustic recordings

  • Violin, cello, flute, saxophone, and other solo instruments

  • Amped guitar and soft percussion

  • Stereo setups for strings, choirs, and room ambience

Whether you’re tracking a soulful vocal or the subtle textures of a classical instrument, the Sontronics SIGMA 2 captures every nuance with warmth, detail, and vintage elegance.
