Orbis HEX is a unique "3 in 1" device that will be useful for anyone playing handpan or tongue drums. It is a must-have accessory for playing on stage, on the street, in the studio, or at home. Orbis HEX combines a stand, microphone, and sound amplifier in one compact device.
Orbis HEX is easy to use. You simply connect it to any amplifier, combo, mixer, or use it with headphones. It has a separate output for headphones. You then place your handpan or drum on the soft cushions and start playing. No additional cables or pickups are needed.
Orbis HEX has three main features:
Universal stand: Orbis HEX has three telescopic legs that allow you to adjust the height. It is suitable for people of any height and for playing in a standing or sitting position. You can also detach the legs from the HEX body and use it as a tabletop stand. The soft cushions provide safety for your instrument and secure fixation. You can use Orbis HEX for instruments of different diameters, from 30 to 60 cm.
Pickup system: Orbis HEX has three built-in pickups for even sound extraction. This system allows you to pick up the sound of your instrument rather than the surrounding environment.
Built-in preamplifier: Orbis HEX allows you to adjust the volume and tone of the sound. You can adjust the low and high frequencies to get the desired sound. The panel contains two volume controls - one for the outgoing signal that you transmit to the amplifier, sound card, combo, or other device, and a separate volume control for headphones.
We added a headphone output to this device, which can be useful during live performances when there are many other instruments around and you cannot hear yourself well adding the ability to monitor your sound and control it at the same time.
The Orbis HEX stand is run on a 9v battery and can also be run on a DC adpater (not included).
