DESCRIPTION
The Sontronics Orpheus has established itself as an absolute must-have for vocal, instrument and ensemble recording, and it’s 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 clean delivery have resulted in ORPHEUS becoming a favourite with voiceover artists, while in pairs it a go-to for overhead drum and choir recording too.
