Austrian Audio OD505 – Active Dynamic Vocal Microphone with Studio-Level Clarity

The Austrian Audio OD505 is a live-ready vocal microphone that blends the toughness of a dynamic mic with the detail of a condenser. Its Active-Dynamic circuitry, precision supercardioid pattern, and 3D Pop Noise Diffuser deliver clear, consistent vocals on loud stages and long cable runs.

Características principales

• Active-Dynamic circuitry: Increased output and stable sensitivity for a strong, noise-free signal
• Supercardioid pattern: Tight off-axis rejection to reduce bleed and feedback in challenging venues
• 3D Pop Noise Diffuser: Minimizes plosives and breath noise without dulling the top end
• Open Acoustics design: Natural, uncolored sound with excellent transient response
• Low-cut filter: Switchable 120 Hz high-pass (2nd order) to tame rumble and proximity effect
• Rugged build: Die-cast housing and steel grille designed for touring reliability

Beneficios

From clubs to broadcast stages, OD505 keeps vocals upfront and articulate. You’ll get condenser-like clarity with dynamic mic durability, fewer feedback headaches, and consistent level—so engineers spend less time fixing and more time mixing.
