Well last week was crazy.
So much so we didn’t have time to unpack and talk about an awesome box from our new friends down the road in Poole, Sontronics microphones.
We are proud to say we are now stocking the Sontronics SOLO microphones. The are truly amazing microphones in every way. Clean, clear, articulate vocal response in a comfortable rugged body.
Ohhh and all this for a microphone with a LIFETIME WARRANTY and build here in the UK on the Southcoast.

If you would like to know any details on these please get in touch or pop in store to try one out. You will not be disappointed.
