From gently plucked acoustic guitar to full-force snare drum cracks, the Austrian Audio OC7 small-diaphragm condenser microphone is purpose-built to provide you with a stunningly true-to-life snapshot of any instrument. At the heart of the OC7 is Austrian Audio’s hand-made-in-Vienna OCC7 capsule, delivering an impressively linear frequency response that’s tailored to instruments with particularly active transients. What’s more, the OC7’s built-in swivel mechanism makes setting up and adjusting your mic a breeze, offering a 220-degree range of rotation to easily locate your source’s sweet spot. Finally, the OC7’s built-in -10dB pad (for a max SPL of >160dB!) and versatile 2-position low-cut filter make this small-diaphragm condenser a must-have for recording engineers who demand the utmost versatility, durability, and immaculate sound quality from their mics.
Versatile swivel system
Austrian Audio’s innovative Swivel Joint mechanism is a lifesaver when working with cramped mic setups — no more endless re-positioning of your stands! The microphone basket is suspended in place, allowing a 220-degree range of rotation that makes everything from minute adjustments to complete repositioning a breeze. For the busy recording engineers, this system’s ability to save time by significantly streamlining the process of finding your source’s sweet spot is indispensable, especially since it all but removes the headache of remounting mics and adjusting stands.
Austrian-made OCC7 true condenser capsule
The core of Austrian Audio’s OC7 is the OCC7 capsule, boasting a true condenser design and taking inspiration from another legendary Viennese small-diaphragm condenser mic. This capsule combines the best qualities of the old-school microphone tradition with Austrian Audio’s dedication to cutting-edge innovation. Ideal for recording a wide variety of instruments, the OCC7 sports a linear frequency response that provides you with a truthful replication of your source. From gentle acoustic guitar to full-force snare drum blasts, the OCC7’s robust >160dB SPL (with the -10dB pad engaged) is up for anything!
