The OD505 is an Active Dynamic microphone that combines the advantages of a dynamic stage mic with those of a condenser microphone. It reportedly achieves nearly the same sensitivity as a condenser mic due to its state-of-the-art dual capsule design where the bottom capsule is phase-inverted and passively switched. Combined with a switchable 2nd order high-pass filter and the Open-Acoustics-technology, noise from handling, bumps, and stage rumble are reduced.
These new microphones utilize Austrian Audio’s special Open Acoustics Technology, which allows sound to enter the capsule almost entirely unimpeded from all sides. Contact points between the mounted capsule and the enclosure are reduced to a minimum, allowing for an open and natural sound without any coloration. The reduction of sound-reflecting surfaces in the vicinity of the capsule ensures that the signal source is reproduced as resonance-free as possible while advanced materials and sophisticated mechanics reduce unwanted vibrations even further.
We are proud to say that the OD505 and OC707 are “Made in Austria”, guaranteeing world-class quality and sustainability,” states Martin Seidl, CEO. “Only the highest quality materials and techniques are used in design and manufacturing and our testing is performed in our own anechoic chamber in our Vienna facility.
Recommended retail price is €399 for the OC707 and €249 for the OC707, including tax.
