Sterling Audio ST131 Small Diaphragm Studio Condenser Microphone Pair

$ MAKE AN OFFER $

For sale is a pair of mint condition Sterling Audio ST131 Small Diaphragm Condenser Microphones for studio use. The successor to the Sterling ST31, the designers added switches for 75Hz low cut and a -10dB pad (see photos). This is an ideal pair of budget-friendly condensers for stereo recording instruments such as acoustic guitar, drums, piano, or anything else you would like to capture in a realistic stereo field. Like many transducers in this price range, you can expect a clean, bright sound that will compliment many instruments. Although I am selling these as a pair, they can be used individually for vocals or anything else that doesn't need a stereo image. INCLUDES HARD CASE

Despite the grill design, this is an "end address" microphone, meaning the end of the microphone points towards the sound (think of the SM57). Do not aim the side of the mic at the sound source!

I purchased these microphones to use twice in a classroom setting and they have been chilling in my locker since! They're in perfect shape and for a very reasonable price will expand your microphone locker in a great way :) Look at the reviews on Guitar Center to see what folks are saying... (hint: it's 5/5 stars)
