Roswell Pro Audio Unveils Delphos II Condenser Mic
Roswell Pro Audio has announced that they are now shipping the new Delphos II all-purpose studio condenser microphone.
The Delphos II retains the characteristics of the original Delphos and adds third polar pattern and refined electronics designed to reduce ultrasonic noise. These new features are all housed in a new, larger body adorned in custom metallic blue paint.
We originally built the Delphos for recording engineers looking for an ultra-clean FET sound,” says Roswell founder Matt McGlynn. “This new version has been updated based on user feedback and the result is another mic in our line that we’re very proud of, particularly on vocals and acoustic guitar where its balanced frequency response, low noise, and high output outperform most competitive offerings costing much more.
The Delphos II uses an optimized transformer less circuit, which provides a low-distortion signal path. Two switches provide a choice of cardioid, omni and figure 8 polar patterns, as well as a 10-dB pad. The mic has a frequency range of 20 Hz to 16 kHz, with a response curve carefully tailored to provide full lows, neutral mids, and high-frequency detail without sibilance. Its sensitivity is 40mV/Pa, with a self-noise level conservatively rated at 12dBA.
