The Opus 51 is suitable for studio and stage applications such as miking instruments and is particular benefit when used upright or for grand pianos where the microphone can be placed internally. The Opus 51 can also be used within a round-table discussions system as well as stage and film applications for ambience recording.
The microphone element is integrated into a solid metal plate with a heavy-duty protective surface resisting accidental damage from kicks or footsteps.
The half- spherical polar pattern of the Opus 51 has a very wide and even pickup angle and is suitable for miking large sound sources simplifying the choice of microphone as it is not dependent on the distance to the sound source.
A power supply (CV1 included) is required to power the microphone that can also be used as an adapter to connect the microphone to any other phantom power source.
