Sontronics Orpheus Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone Overview:
The ORPHEUS boasts extremely low self-noise and this coupled with its unmistakable presence and defined clarity, especially in the higher frequencies, allows you to record the subtlest of instruments or voices without the need to edit afterwards.
Its highly sensitive 35mm dual-diaphragm capsule is suspended in its own special mount, almost floating in that large, spherical basket, which itself allows ORPHEUS to soak up every detail of the space it's recording in. ORPHEUS's body is cast from zinc alloy, which gives a very low resonance, helping to keep the signal tight and accurate.
The three polar patterns also mean that ORPHEUS is fantastically versatile when it comes to recording groups and ensembles (in omni mode), for use in mid-side and other experimental applications (in figure-of-eight mode) or even for foley and sound effects work.
Sontronics ORPHEUS is supplied in a luxury, velvet-lined wooden box and comes with a special angled mount adaptor, to give you plenty of flexibility whether you're using it on stage, in a vocal booth or in the studio.
