About Austrian Audio OC7

Are you seeking a professional-grade microphone that captures every nuance of your instrument's sound with precision and clarity Look no further than the OC7 True Condenser Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Instrument Microphone from Austrian Audio. This high-quality microphone is the epitome of Austrian craftsmanship, with each unit meticulously handmade in Vienna and subjected to stringent quality control measures to ensure peak performance.

The OC7 stands out with its signature "Swivel Joint" mechanism, a revolutionary design that allows a 220-degree rotation of the microphone basket for effortless and precise alignment with the sound source. This feature eliminates the need for cumbersome adjustments, enabling you to focus on the recording session without interruption.

At the core of the OC7 lies the OCC7 small diaphragm capsule, a masterpiece of in-house development that carries forward the legacy of the iconic CK1. The OCC7 capsule is engineered with a three-micron-thick, gold-coated polyethylene naphthalate diaphragm, offering superior durability compared to traditional Mylar diaphragms. This robust construction allows the OC7 to handle extremely high sound pressure levels without compromising the integrity of the sound.

The OC7 boasts an impressive linear frequency response, ensuring that your recordings sound natural and open, even at extreme volumes. The microphone's ability to deliver silky smooth mids and highs without overemphasis makes it a versatile choice for a wide range of instruments. Whether you're recording the sharp attack of percussion, the rich tones of a piano, the delicate strumming of an acoustic guitar, or the intricate harmonies of string instruments, the OC7 captures every detail with reliability and finesse.

Austrian Audio's commitment to quality is evident in every aspect of the OC7. Each capsule is hand-built and meticulously tuned within an anechoic chamber to achieve the perfect balance for your recording needs. With its durable construction, versatile application, and the trusted reputation of Austrian Audio, the OC7 True Condenser Small-Diaphragm Cardioid Instrument Microphone is an essential tool for both studio recording and live performances, ensuring that your passion for music is heard in its purest form.
