Features

PLONK® struktophon is the size of two XLR plugs and weighs less than an apple. Put it to the front pocket of your recording gear and have it always with you in case you need that special sound.

With its balanced XLR connection and integrated phantom powered preamp, PLONK® struktophon requires no additional equipment other than your standard recording device. Just plug it in and start working.

PLONK® struktophon captures sound where it occurs: in vibrating objects and its surfaces rather than from the air as normal microphones do. Acoustic bleed from the surrounding is minimised, which means less post-production work for you.
