A Multi-Pattern Mic Designed for Modern Recording
The STC-3D belongs to the family of versatile studio microphones capable of covering a wide range of situations, from solo vocals to ensembles, including acoustic instrument capture. Its condenser design and switchable polar patterns make it a reference tool for building reliable and coherent sound in studios of all sizes.
Who Is It For and What Are Its Uses?
Designed for creators who alternate between spoken voice and singing, guitar, piano, overheads, or ambience, the STC-3D is suitable for home studios, podcast setups, and live stages alike. Engineers will find a "Swiss Army knife" microphone capable of handling both close miking and ensemble recordings while maintaining low self-noise.
Features That Secure Your Recordings
Switchable Polar Patterns
Choose cardioid to isolate the main source, bidirectional for face-to-face duos or mid/side techniques, and omnidirectional for a natural overall image. This flexibility simplifies placement and reduces reliance on post-processing.
Low-Frequency and Level Management
The low-cut filter reduces rumbles, handling noise, and excessive proximity effect, while the -10 dB pad allows recording of high sound pressure sources without distortion, ideal for brass, percussion, and amplifiers.
Ready for the Road
The included shock mount limits vibrations transmitted to the mic stand, and the pouch protects the STC-3D between sessions. Powered by 48 V phantom power, it integrates immediately with any preamp or audio interface providing phantom power.

So now I say congratulations, I am more than delighted with this microphone (I have 5 others from well-known and recognized brands)
playing and singing mainly acoustically (or light and soft electric) I have nothing but praise for this microphone that respects the sound of my voice and gives me a top result with an Alesis usb8 table and the Semplitude Magix software.
My harmonicas, violin, and Irish flutes are just as clean and the sound is pureAutomatically translated

Frankly nothing to say, I record on microphones 10 or even 15 times more expensive in the studio and now I am speechless.

Questions frequently asked
Does the Prodipe STC-3D MK2 work with an audio interface?
The connection is made via XLR and requires 48 V DC phantom power supplied by the interface or preamplifier.
What polar patterns are available on this studio microphone?
Three switchable polar patterns are offered: cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional. The cardioid helps isolate a primary sound source. The figure-8 is particularly suitable for face-to-face duo recording or mid/side configurations.
Can it record an amplifier or loud percussion?
The -10 dB pad raises the maximum sound pressure level to 140 dB SPL at 1 kHz, compared to 130 dB SPL without attenuation.
Is the STC-3D MK2 suitable for singing and podcasting?
Its large-diaphragm capsule and self-noise of 14 to 16 dB-A depending on polar pattern are suitable for spoken voice and singing recordings. The frequency response covers 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
What accessories are included with the microphone?
A shock mount is included to reduce vibrations transmitted through the mic stand. A protective pouch is also provided for transport and storage.
