We’re looking for two studio testers to demo these awesome new mics in the Sterling lineup (total value $999). Got what it takes to win the “Sterling Mic Locker Challenge?” Enter below…
Can your studio use some new additions to the stale, tired mic locker you’re currently using? Here’s a chance for two winners to score a trio of great new mics from Sterling, and to add some new variety to their studio’s sound palette. Up for grabs are the ST170 active ribbon mic, the ST 169 tube mic and the ST155 large-diaphragm condenser mic. Each mic has its own unique characteristics and applications, and we want to see how YOU can use them creatively on some new tracks.
The two winners will chronicle their behind-the-scenes usage of the new mics through video and social media, as they incorporate them into their studio sessions. They will also be featured in an upcoming issue of Performer. Cool, huh!
Scroll down for more detailed info about each of the new mics, and good luck!
ENTRIES ARE NOW CLOSED . GOOD LUCK TO ALL WHO ENTERED!
ABOUT THE STERLING ST170 MICROPHONE
The Sterling Audio ST170 Active Ribbon Microphone brings a highly detailed, vintage-style tone to any recording environment with an ideal voicing for electric and acoustic guitars, drums, vocals and overhead/room.

Its rich presence and warm bottom allow your mixes to come together quickly without heavy EQ. Includes SM5 metal shock mount and sturdy aluminum carry case. Requires phantom power.
ABOUT THE STERLING ST169 MICROPHONE
The Sterling Audio ST169 Multi-Pattern Tube Condenser Microphone is the professional choice for sheer recording versatility — providing a warm, articulate and detailed sound with extreme volume handling. A combination of new and traditional technology yields a full frequency response and quick transient response without sacrificing authentic tube warmth and tone. The included SM8 premium metal band-suspension shock mount, aluminum carry case, and low noise power supply fill out the package, complementing the ST169’s rugged construction and forward visual design.
ABOUT THE STERLING ST155 MICROPHONE
With a switchable high-pass filter and attenuation pad, the Sterling Audio ST155 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone provides additional versatility in the recording studio.
