Sontronics Orpheus
A lot of time and effort was spent honing the ORPHEUS body as well as its capsule and electronics, to ensure that the resulting mic could be hugely flexible for studio work as well as live recording. 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.
Since ORPHEUS was introduced (it formed part of Sontronics' initial range of mics for our launch back in 2005), it has become a favourite with live sound engineers for drum overheads (when used in pairs) and has also become extremely popular in the voiceover community, thanks to the fact that it delivers crisp, classy results on male and female spoken word. 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.
