Sontronics Omni Omnidirectional Capsule for STC1 (Black)

Expand your recording arsenal with the innovative Hyper and Omni capsules, purpose–built to unlock the full potential of Sontronics' acclaimed STC–1 and STC–1S condenser microphones. These interchangeable capsules work seamlessly with the standard cardioid–equipped pencil condensers, effectively giving you three distinct microphones in one package — or six different recording options when paired with the STC–1S stereo configuration.

The omnidirectional Omni capsule opens up an entirely new world of recording possibilities by capturing sound from all directions around the microphone. This expanded pickup pattern allows for greater flexibility in microphone placement, enabling you to position the mic further from your source or higher in the room while maintaining exceptional audio quality. The results are particularly impressive for ensemble recordings, where the Omni capsule transforms your STC–1 into a superb overhead or ambient room microphone.

For more focused applications, the hypercardioid Hyper capsule provides enhanced directional control and superior isolation from unwanted background noise. This makes it particularly valuable for solo percussion work, where the tighter pickup pattern adds clarity and definition to instruments like hi–hats. Both capsules represent a cost–effective solution for expanding your microphone collection without the expense of purchasing entirely separate units.
