The SOS Awards were first launched in 2010 to honor and celebrate the best products in the electronic music industry.
This year’s SOS Awards once again place their emphasis on innovation and contemporary design, with the nominations being limited to products launched in the 12 months prior to the voting period. These results celebrate the ‘best in class’ products launched or reviewed in the period from September 2021 through to the end of August 2022.
You'll see all the winners here, chosen by Sound On Sound readers:
Winner — Best Microphone: Lewitt LCT1040
The Lewitt LCT 1040 is a premium microphone system that provides four different tube characteristics, allowing instrumental and vocal recordings to be enhanced with precisely the right characteristic for an individual, authentic tone. What is more, the LCT 1040's FET circuitry provides a crystal-clear sound that allows the signal to be stagelessly blended for more punch or precision. The microphone can also be set to different polar patterns, between which the transition can be made seamlessly. The system comprises a large-diaphragm condenser microphone with a power supply unit and a detachable remote controller. The latter can be used to adjust the sound of the microphone from the mixing room while the microphone is being used in the tracking room.
