More Testimonials for the original Delphos
- In my studio, the Delphos has earned its place as a "do-it-all" mic -- always at the ready for last-minute overdubs or sketches. Its combination of clarity and warm tone make it great for almost any instrument, as well as vocals. It gets used on practically every session.
- Mike Poole, Grammy Award Winning Engineer and Producer
- As soon as I heard the Delphos I knew it would be the perfect microphone for recording my guitar. The sound is open and detailed but not harsh or bright.
- Neil Citron, Grammy Award Winning Artist, Producer, and Engineer
- It captures such a clear picture of the subject that it has become essential in my studio toolkit.
- Gordon Hammond, freelance engineer/producer in Nashville
- The Delphos was right up there with the [Neumann] U87, but less than 1/3 the cost.
- Supa Dups, producer and selector
Detailed Product Information
The Delphos II is an upgrade to the original Delphos. We've moved the mic into a larger, heavier mic body with classic vocal mic styling. We've revised the DC circuitry to improve transient response and reduce ultrasonic noise. We have added the Figure 8 polar pattern, making the Delphos II unbeatable for mid-side and Blumlein applications.
