Description
The Sontronics ORPHEUS Multi-Pattern Large Diaphragm Microphone is New Delivered to all areas of the UK using our roadie delivery service.
With omni-directional, cardioid and figure-of-eight patterns, as well as a 10dB cut/boost function, Sontronics ORPHEUS is the perfect choice for practically any studio or live application.
Its low self-noise and unmistakable presence allow you to record the subtlest of instruments or voices without the need to edit afterwards.
The highly sensitive 35mm dual-diaphragm capsule is suspended in its own special mount, almost floating in the large, spherical basket. ORPHEUS's body is cast from zinc alloy, which gives a very low resonance, helping to keep the signal tight and accurate.
Sontronics ORPHEUS is supplied in a luxury, velvet-lined wooden case and really does sound as good as it looks. When used as a room mic or for drum overheads, either on its own or in a pair, ORPHEUS will totally blow your mind!
