Sontronics Zeta

The Sontronics ZETA is a high‑sensitivity JFET condenser studio microphone built around a boutique Lundahl transformer, delivering ultra‑low self‑noise, detailed tonal clarity and a naturally musical response that excels on vocals, voice‑over, acoustic guitar, piano and strings.

Design and Construction

ZETA is hand‑built in England, each unit undergoing individual testing on the south coast. Precision‑machined aluminium housing protects the capsule while the Lundahl transformer adds warmth and depth. The JFET circuitry provides high gain without sacrificing noise performance, ensuring clean recordings even in modest home‑studio environments.

Acoustic Performance

The microphone captures subtle nuances thanks to its high sensitivity and low‑noise floor. Its wide frequency response reproduces the full harmonic spectrum of acoustic instruments, while the transformer‑shaped output adds a pleasant, slightly coloured character that reduces the need for heavy equalisation. Whether tracking a lead vocal, spoken word or a spacious room ambience, ZETA produces a confident, finished sound straight from the source.

Usability and Features

ZETA offers plug‑and‑play simplicity: connect via a standard XLR cable to any audio interface and begin recording without additional outboard gear. The robust build resists wear from frequent handling, and the compact form factor fits comfortably in tight studio setups. A limited lifetime warranty backs the microphone, reflecting the brand’s commitment to durability and long‑term performance.
