Sontronics ORPHEUS Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone

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 or indeed at any price. Indeed, one producer calls Orpheus “the best reverb plug-in money can buy”! Orpheus has three switchable polar patterns – cardioid, omni, figure-of-eight – making it fantastically versatile, while its unmistakable presence, defined clarity and incredibly low self-noise allow 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. 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.
