Microphone Sound Samples

Below, you can listen to sound samples for three mics from our series: the Sterling ST170 Active Ribbon, the ST169 Tube Condenser and the ST155 FET Condenser.

A female vocalist, a male voice-over artist, a nylon-string guitar and a trumpet were recorded through each of the three microphones, using a fairly modest mobile recording rig consisting of a Focusrite 2i2 audio interface and a MacBook Pro running the most current version of Pro Tools.
