The patented condenser microphone for rack toms und snare drums
Application
Toms, snare drums, congas
The Opus 88 condenser microphone is the perfect choice for close
miking Toms and Snare Drums, designed to excel at professional sound reinforcement or recording. The Snare Drum is hit most often, the hardest and produces a very complex sound pattern. The Opus 88 has been optimised for the Snare; both electrically and physically creating an exact sound. With its patented microphone clamp with integrated preamplifier and 3-pin XLR-plug the Opus 88 can easily and quickly be mounted to the rim. The short flexible gooseneck and the horizontal swivel joint ensures optimal positioning.
