Frequently Asked Questions

The Avedis have a slightly darker, more vintage tone, while these Sel MHs offer a brighter, more modern clarity and projection – a more contemporary orchestral voice.
While designed for orchestral use, their clarity and projection can work well in smaller settings, but the volume may be overwhelming without careful dynamic control.
The brilliant outside maximizes reflectivity and projection, while the traditional inside provides a more complex, nuanced sound and prevents unwanted ringing.
