What a day! GearFest 2025 brought together the best of the music and audio world, and we were right in the thick of it. A massive thank you to everyone who came by the Sontronics stand, whether you stopped to try a mic, entered our Lucky Dip, or just had a chat with the team, we loved meeting every single one of you. It was an inspiring day packed with conversation, creativity, and proper gear geekery.
The Mic Lineup That Turned Heads
This year, we brought a wide lineup of our most popular (and most talked-about) mics, and you lot gave them a serious workout. Across the day, we heard everything from smooth vocals to beatboxing and rap, and it was amazing to see how each mic sparked a different creative reaction.
- ORPHEUS – Big, clean sound with loads of character. Great on vocals, room mics and anything stereo.
- SOLO – Built like a tank and sounds amazing on stage or amps. Reliable, bold and ready for anything.
- CORONA – Vintage looks with crisp, modern sound. People couldn’t wait to plug it in.
- SATURN 2 – Nine polar patterns (yep, even Subcardioid). Super versatile and a proper studio workhorse.
- DELTA 2 – Our active ribbon for amps, brass and more. Smooth, warm and way more flexible than you'd expect.
- STC-3X – The mic that does it all. Whether it’s vocals, guitars or podcasts, it just works.
- DM-1T – Tight, punchy and full of life. Drummers loved what it brought to the kit.
Lucky Dip
We ran a Lucky Dip Giveaway throughout the day, and it quickly became one of the busiest parts of the stand. Prizes included a handful of our SOLO, a personal studio session in Soho, and even a MERCURY, our flagship valve mic!
The buzz around the giveaway was unreal, and watching people light up as they pulled a winning token made it one of our favourite parts of the day.
Why GearFest Matters to Us
GearFest isn’t just about showing off microphones, it’s about connecting. We had some brilliant conversations with people across all corners of the audio world: artists just starting out, seasoned engineers, curious students, content creators and session pros. Everyone brought something different to the table, and hearing how our mics fit into your creative journeys was genuinely rewarding.
These face-to-face events remind us why we do what we do, and just how passionate this community really is.
If you met us at the show and have questions, want advice, or fancy chatting more about how our mics might fit into your setup, we’re all ears. And if you missed GearFest this year, don’t worry. You can always explore the Sontronics on our website or reach out to the team directly.
Thanks again to everyone who made GearFest 2025 such a special one. We’ll see you again next year!
