Product Description
The Sontronics HALO is a purpose-built dynamic microphone designed specifically for capturing the full tone of guitar amplifiers with precision and character. Created by a guitarist for guitarists, it delivers a rich, mix-ready sound straight out of the box, making it a go-to choice for studio recording, live performance, and home setups alike.
DESIGNED FOR GUITAR AMPS
HALO is carefully tuned to reproduce the depth, presence, and harmonic detail of electric guitar cabinets. Its tailored frequency response ensures your amp tone translates accurately without the need for additional EQ, helping performances sit naturally in a mix with clarity and impact.
FOCUSED AND CONTROLLED CAPTURE
Featuring a tight supercardioid polar pattern, HALO isolates your amplifier while minimizing bleed from surrounding sources. This focused pickup makes it ideal for both studio tracking and live stages, delivering consistent results even in complex or high-volume environments.
HIGH SPL PERFORMANCE
Built with a dynamic capsule capable of handling very high sound pressure levels, HALO can be placed close to loud amplifiers without distortion. This allows you to take advantage of proximity effect for added low-end weight while maintaining clarity and definition.
UNIQUE RETRO DESIGN
HALO’s distinctive circular, retro-inspired design features an integrated shockmount system that helps reduce unwanted vibrations and handling noise. Beyond its visual appeal, the design also aids in positioning and stability, making it easy to place precisely in front of a speaker cabinet.
VERSATILE APPLICATION
While optimized for guitar amps, HALO is also well suited for bass cabinets, harmonica, and even snare drum, offering flexibility across a range of recording and live sound applications.
