At its heart sits a hand-selected European-made ECC81\/12AT7 vacuum tube, delivering the analogue warmth and punch associated with classic tube designs. Its dual-capsule configuration offers a fully sweepable polar pattern ranging from omnidirectional through cardioid to figure-of-eight, making it adaptable across a wide range of recording applications - from vocals and acoustic instruments to room and ambient capture. The frequency response spans 20Hz to 20kHz, with an exceptionally low equivalent noise level of under 12dB (A-weighted), a maximum SPL handling of 125dB, an onboard -10dB pad, and a 75Hz low-cut filter. The mic connects to its included external 115\/230V power supply unit via an 8-pin connector, with a standard 3-pin XLR output from the PSU - no phantom power required. The machined brass body and sub-1% tolerance component selection reflect the care put into each unit.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eA great opportunity to own a Sontronics Mercury at this price point.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Sontronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54816466141521,"sku":null,"price":929.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0775\/6913\/0833\/files\/df11e623-0306-4e46-80a8-b422a5d79ca1.jpg?v=1788781575","url":"https:\/\/www.audiotrader.co.uk\/products\/sontronics-mercury-condenser-microphone-silver-excellent-w-hard-case","provider":"Audio Trader","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
