Sontronics Orpheus Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

After meticulous design and engineering, the Orpheus Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone emerges as a reliable and versatile tool for both studio and live recording applications. This high-quality microphone is renowned for its low self-noise and exceptional clarity, particularly in higher frequencies, enabling you to capture the most subtle nuances of instruments or voices without the need for post-recording editing.

The Orpheus microphone is equipped with three distinct polar patterns: bidirectional figure-8, cardioid, and omnidirectional. This feature allows for a wide range of recording possibilities, from capturing the full ambiance of a room to focusing on a single instrument or voice. Whether you're recording a solo artist, a full ensemble, or even foley and sound effects, the Orpheus microphone adapts to your needs.

One of the standout features of the Orpheus microphone is its large 35mm dual-diaphragm capsule. This sensitive component is suspended in a unique mount within a large, spherical basket, allowing the microphone to absorb every detail of the recording space. This design, coupled with the microphone's durable zinc alloy body, ensures a low resonance and a tight, accurate signal.

Since its introduction in 2005, the Orpheus microphone has gained popularity among live sound engineers for drum overheads and voiceover professionals for its crisp, clear results on both male and female spoken word. Its versatility extends to recording acoustic guitars, piano, solo and ensemble strings, percussion, and more. With its unique -10dB cut and +10dB boost function, the Orpheus microphone is a professional-grade tool that delivers consistent, high-quality audio recording.
