Overview
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.
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.
