Introducing the Sontronics Orpheus condenser microphone
Offering outstanding precision, clarity and detail, the Sontronics Orpheus has established itself as an absolute must-have for vocal, instrument and ensemble recording, and is often regarded as being the best room/ overhead mic for the price point.
With three switchable polar patterns -cardioid, omni and figure-of-eight, this mic offers fantastic versatility with unmistakable presence. The defined clarity produced by the mic coupled with the incredibly low self-noise allows you to capture every nuanced detail of performances.
Great flexibility
The Orpheus capsule sits within a large spherical grille that allows the mic to soak up every detail of the vocal/ instrument as well as the space it's recording in. On the front panel you'll find an attenuator pad control, which features a -10dB cut and a unique +10dB boost function, allowing you to place the Orpheus further away from your source, capturing the room ambience, while also providing a strong output signal and no additional noise.
The Orpheus is supplied with a special angled mic adapter to give you plenty of flexibility, whether you are in a cathedral, flying it high above a stage of choristers or using it in a compact vocal booth.
With a classy sound and crystal clear delivery, the Orpheus has become the first choice for voice-over artists, and an absolute go-to for overhead drum and choir recording.
