The Opus 53 is a high-quality condenser microphone at a reasonable price. It has a carbon-fiber reinforced casing and the small and short design allow flexible and unobtrusive positioning. The frequency response has been optimised for universal miking of instruments – particularly drums such as snare or hi-hat. It will also find uses with brass, woodwind instruments, guitars and other string instruments.
