Description
Neutral Tonality: the Delphos II captures the source without hype. Customers rave about its "vintage, analog FET" sound. Pop producers love the Delphos II because these tracks stand up to all the processing required of the genre: tuning, compression, EQ, etc., without sounding sterile or flat..Versatility: the Delphos II has three polar patterns (Cardioid, Omnidirectional, Figure-8), selectable via a switch on the front of the microphone. Choose Omni mode for closer placements with reduced proximity effect. Choose Figure-8 to get a presence boost in the upper mids, or to isolate voice from guitar (or vice versa). These additional polar patterns enable creative placement options during tracking..Accommodate louder sources: engage the attenuation pad switch to add 10dB of headroom to the mic. This enables recording of louder, higher-SPL sources such as high-gain guitar cabs or drums (for overhead or front-of-kit placements)..No-compromise components: The Delphos II uses a true 34mm large condenser K67 capsule with gold-plated diaphragms, hand-tuned to produce a smooth top end and full low-frequency response. The mic's circuit employs a combination of new/custom parts, such as Roswell's own unique formulation of electrolytic capacitors, and vintage audiophile parts, such as the resistors that became famous in early Japanese hi-fi gear. Every component is selected by hand..Pristine design yields professional results: the Delphos II has a low noise floor, low distortion, high headroom, and a smooth frequency response. It pairs beautifully with all types of preamps, because it doesn't rely on the preamp to create a great-sounding track.
