BEYERDYNAMIC OPUS 88 CARDIOID CONDENSER PERCUSSION’S MIC

The patented condenser microphone for rack toms und snare drums

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.

Features:
Ideal for Rack or Floor Toms and Snare Drums
Wide transmission range
Cardioid polar pattern for high gain-before-feedback
Suitable for SPLs up to 136 dB
Patented microphone clamp with integrated pre-amp
and 3-pin XLR-plug for quick mounting (no disturbing cable
between microphone head and pre-amp)
Rugged construction with rubber shock-mounted microphone capsule
Supplied with storage bag
Applications: Toms, snare drums, congas

C 568 B 

Compact, short shotgun microphone
Integrated, switchable bass cut filter minimizes mechanical noise
Operates on phantom power
 
High directivity and wide frequency response in a relatively short shotgun make this
microphone a perfect tool for theater, sound reinforcement, and film/TV applications.
Due to its compact and lightweight design, the C 568 B is ideal for camera mount
applications. Below 500 Hz it functions as a hypercardioid microphone; above 500 Hz
the acoustic interference tube introduces increasing directivity. A switchable 12 dB/
octave 120 Hz bass cut filter effectively suppresses rumble and wind noise. The rugged,
all-metal body contains the built-in preamp. Phantom powering (9?52 V) required; foam
windscreen and stand adapter included.
