Sontronics launches heavy duty mic stand

In a press release from Sontronics, it claims to have had a groundbreaking year thanks to the release of the brand’s first handheld dynamic mic (the STC-80) and the soon-to-arrive European-made preamps (Chimera and Sonora).

If that was groundbreaking, wait til you get a load of this. Who’s your Daddy now?

It’s a mobile mounting system in the shape of the MATRIX-10 professional mic stand. Designed to support a weight of up to 6 kilograms, this light but sturdy stand with telescopic boom arm is made from brushed aluminium tubing and features a heavy-duty ABS clamp and quick-release adjustment clips.

The centre post extends from 1.12 to 1.70 metres and is internally damped to support heavy loads. The boom arm extends from 1.2 metres to an impressive 2.25 metres and is counterbalanced by a moveable cast-iron weight.

The Sontronics MATRIX-10 comes with a dolly cart that transforms it from a static stand into a mobile one. The dolly can be fitted to the tripod thanks to its simple adjusting clamps, and adds 10cm to the overall height of the stand. Each wheel has a foot-operated brake to provide optimum stability. When not in use, the wheels fold up to be stored in the rugged canvas bag.

The MATRIX10 is available now and will retail for an RRP of just GBP £149 (inc. VAT) or EUR €169 (ex. tax).
