Sontronics Orpheus Multi-pattern Condenser Microphone

Super Classy Vocals & Tone

The Sontronics Orpheus has established itself as an absolute must-have for vocal, instrument and ensemble recording and has also become renowned as the best room/overhead mic at this price. The Orpheus Condenser Microphone features three super versatile switchable polar patterns: Cardioid, Omni & Figure-of-eight. With low self-noise Orpheus allows you to capture the subtlest of performances that will sit perfectly in the mix.

Its classy sound and crystal clear delivery have resulted in Orpheus becoming a first choice for voiceover artists, while in pairs, it is an absolute go-to for overhead drum and choir recording too.

Its Special Full Body
Orpheus's 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 of Orpheus you’ll find attenuator pad control, which features a -10dB cut as well as a unique +10dB boost function.

Not to be found on any other mic in the world, the +10dB boost enables you to place Orpheus further away from your source than you might do normally, capturing even more room ambience while still providing a strong output signal with zero additional noise.

Orpheus is supplied with a special angled mic adaptor to give you plenty of flexibility whether you’re in a cathedral, flying it high above a stage of choristers or using it in a compact vocal booth.
