Overview
The APOLLO 2 is a beautiful-sounding stereo ribbon microphone that has become, like the original Apollo before it, a must-have for studios, composers, venues and sound stages all round the world, from Glyndebourne to Hollywood.
With its two highly sensitive ribbon motors set in X-Y Blumlein formation, APOLLO 2 will capture a truly stunning and superbly accurate three-dimensional image, picking up every detail of your recording space and your instruments or voices.
