Manufacturer's Description from Sontronics

The Sontronics Apollo stereo ribbon microphone was launched in January 2007 following feedback from many musicians who were getting amazing results from using pairs of our Sigma ribbon mic.

We set about creating a dedicated stereo ribbon mic with two ribbon motors set in classic Blumlein X-Y formation. The Apollo was incredible for overhead recording of orchestra, choir, piano and drumkit, and became a must-have for many studios, composers and musicians.

Famous users of the original Sontronics Apollo include Paul Epworth (the opening piano chords of 'Skyfall' are recorded on his Apollo over his upright piano), Glyndebourne Opera and Abbey Road Studios, where the Apollo is still used and loved on a daily basis for recording everything from Hollywood soundtracks to their Steinway grand piano.

"Everyone here loves the Sontronics Apollo - it's a beautiful mic."

Lester Smith, Head Technician, Abbey Road Studios
