We do our best to keep healthy stocks across the many Wireless Microphone System SKUs but in the rare case where we don't have your required system in stock, please contact our sales team as we can often make your product to order by borrowing the system components (transmitters, receivers or mics) from other stocked systems.

Main Features
A premium-quality valve/tube condenser microphone
Multi-award-winning mic
Developed alongside top artists (Such as Gary Barlow) and producers as well as with the input of engineers at Abbey Road Studios
Variable polar patterns
Comes with: wooden box (for Mercury mic), shockmount, cables, power supply, aluminium flightcase
Launched at the 2017 NAMM Show, the new Sontronics MERCURY is a premium-quality valve/tube condenser microphone designed to sound stunning on whatever you're recording, from solo instruments, percussion and vocals to ensemble and orchestral work, overhead and room miking, voiceover and more.
The mic picked up two awards in its first two reviews: a 10/10 Excellence award from Music Tech Magazine and the Editor's Choice award from Pro Tools Expert, and won the Highly Commended award from Trusted Music Stores. MERCURY was also shortlisted for three other awards: MusicRadar's Best in Tech awards, Sound on Sound magazine's 2018 Gear Awards and Music Tech magazine's Gear of the Year awards.
Designed by Sontronics' founder Trevor Coley, and developed alongside top artists and producers as well as with the input of engineers at Abbey Road Studios, the MERCURY is hand-built here in the Sontronics HQ in the UK.
Taking things a step on from our multi-award-winning ARIA, the Sontronics MERCURY employs the highest-grade components (most of which have less than 1% tolerance, unheard of for a microphone at this or any other price) and a hand-selected and tested, European-made ECC81/12AT7 vacuum tube, all of which result in absolutely impeccable results, whatever application you're using it for.
The MERCURY gives you an infinite choice of polar patterns from omnidirectional to figure-of-eight and everything in between, controlled via the sweepable control knob on the front of the power supply.
The mic also has pad (0, -10dB) and low-cut filter (linear, 75Hz) controls and a professional power supply with medical-grade interference filter, and it boasts incredibly low self-noise for a valve microphone (less than 12dB, A-weighted), making this a must-have microphone for any studio serious about achieving the best quality results.
"MERCURY was almost three years in the making," says Sontronics' designer and founder Trevor Coley, " It truly represents the pinnacle of quality components and British engineering combined with our passion for making versatile, beautifully crafted microphones that don't cost the earth.”
MERCURY is regularly being compared to vintage valve microphones, that cost up to ten times the price!
