Sontronics Adds SOLO W2 Capsule for Sennheiser Wireless Handhelds

Sontronics announced the SOLO W2 on November 4, 2026, expanding its wireless vocal capsule lineup with a version designed for compatible Sennheiser handheld transmitters. It follows the earlier SOLO W1 for Shure systems.

The capsule uses a supercardioid dynamic design intended for vocals and speech in live-sound applications. Published specifications include a 50 Hz–15 kHz frequency range, 5.5 mV/Pa sensitivity, 140 dB maximum SPL at less than 1% THD, and a 170 g weight. Sontronics lists compatibility with multiple Sennheiser EW-D, EW-DX, SKM and XSW handheld families, but buyers should check the manufacturer’s exact transmitter compatibility list before ordering.

Sontronics emphasizes rejection of stage spill and monitor sound and offers its limited lifetime warranty. Those performance claims have not been independently evaluated by TAM.

Price: £120 including UK tax on the manufacturer’s online store when checked. Availability was announced for November 4 through Sontronics dealers and distributors.
