Overview

A versatile condenser microphone with three different polar pattern options.

The Sterling ST79 Dual-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone is designed around a Class-A discrete FET mic amp specially chosen to match its large dual-diaphragm capsule. The ST-79 offers 3 different pickup patterns: Omni-directional, Cardioid and Figure-8, providing complete mic placement flexibility.

Hand-selected internal components create a sound that enhances both vocal and instrument performances.
