Application
Bass drum, uprigth bass, tuba, djembe
The Opus 99 has been developed especially for miking low-frequency instruments such as Double Bass, Bass Amplifiers, Tubas and especially Bass Drums. The strong neodymium magnet system and a mass reduced special diaphragm give the microphone a powerful reproduction with excellent transient characteristics. The optimised frequency response guarantees audio quality which until now has, only been achieved by
using high-quality condenser microphones. The hypercardioid polar pattern helps eliminate feedback in live applications
and allows an optimum channel separation between different
instruments. The microphone can operate at very high sound pressure levels without loss of sound quality and virtually no
distortion. With the optional available ST 99 stand the Opus 99 can be placed directly inside or in front of the Bass Drum.
