A multi-pattern condenser

The Sterling Audio ST159 Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone delivers a wealth of recording features that makes it a versatile mic for any collection. It delivers a warm, smooth and articulate sound, along with a full-frequency range and extreme volume handling.

Its 1” large-diaphragm design delivers detailed and articulate sound, while its hand-assembled capsule and custom-wound transformer capture incredible smoothness and warmth.
