British microphone manufacturer Sontronics has announced the launch of a new supercardioid dynamic wireless capsule designed for compatibility with a wide range of Shure handheld wireless transmitters.
Building on the reputation of the award-winning SOLO dynamic microphone, the SOLO W1 brings Sontronics’ signature clarity, presence and reliability into professional wireless workflows, giving performers and engineers greater flexibility without compromising sound quality.
Designed for live vocals, speech and performance, SOLO W1 delivers a focused, natural sound that cuts through busy stage mixes while maintaining excellent rejection of background noise and monitor bleed. Its supercardioid polar pattern helps isolate the voice effectively, allowing performers to maintain clarity and consistency even in demanding live environments.
SOLO W1 has been developed to provide the same confident, mix-ready vocal character that users expect from the wired SOLO microphone, while meeting the practical demands of modern wireless systems. The capsule delivers strong output and a balanced frequency response, helping engineers achieve reliable results with minimal adjustment, while performers benefit from a natural and reassuring vocal sound on stage.
Built to withstand the demands of touring and regular live use, SOLO W1 offers dependable performance across a wide range of applications, including concerts, venues, houses of worship, theatres and live production environments. Designed for straightforward integration, SOLO W1 allows users to upgrade their sound while continuing to use their existing Shure wireless platform.
The introduction of SOLO W1 reflects Sontronics’ continued expansion within the live sound sector, offering artists and audio professionals greater flexibility when choosing high-quality vocal solutions across both wired and wireless setups.
As with all Sontronics microphones, SOLO W1 is covered by the company’s Lifetime Warranty programme, providing long-term confidence and reinforcing Sontronics’ commitment to dependable engineering and build quality.
