Malletech 3.0 OmegaAir Vibraphone Custom With Motor - Custom - Product Information
The Malletech 3.0 OmegaAir Vibraphone takes the design and experience developed over the last 10 years from the original OmegaVibe and created the most travel-friendly vibraphone on the market - while maintaining exactly the same bars and resonators vibraphonists already love.
Specifications and Features:
- 5 inches shorter and 15 lbs lighter than the original OmegaVibe.
- The OmegaAir features a dual-spring, vertical dampening system. The vertical motion of the damper bar (instead of pivoting on an arc like all previous vibraphones), contacts the sharps and naturals at the same moment. You can precisely adjust the pedal up wetness or dryness to your personal preference through the dual spring towers. Simple, evenly-balanced dampening right out of the box - top to bottom, sharps to naturals.
- The damper pedal is fully adjustable for leverage, height, angle and damper bar release speed. Customize the settings for a completely personalized relationship between you and your vibraphone.
- Malletech's Formula 6 bar geometry and alloy, coupled with Malletech's exclusive harmonic tuning process, produce the sweetest chords and strongest projection possible. Black or silver bars come standard.
- Elliptically-driven vibrato wings float over the resonators, producing velvety-smooth pulsations. Removing all the hardware from inside the tubes improves the tuning of both the fundamental and overtones of the resonators. When vibrato is not in use, the wings can be completely retracted, leaving the tops of the tubes completely open to capture every decibel and nuance that you produce.
- A near-silent, universal voltage motor (with world-wide compatibility) makes this the perfect instrument for recording.
- The frame and resonators are still assembled with stainless steel lock nuts and bolts (no rivets, no fake resonators, no oval or square tubes - ever). Just like Malletech marimbas, the resonators sit on a suspension bridge system, eliminating all contact between the resonators rails and frame. All these features assure a buzz-free / rattle-free lifetime of music making.
