Microphone technology has advanced by leaps and bounds in the past few years, and now you no longer have to settle for anything less than studio-quality sound for your live vocal performances. The Austrian Audio OD505 Active Dynamic vocal handheld microphone leverages the latest developments to deliver the best of both worlds: the bulletproof performance of a dynamic capsule along with the sensitivity of a studio condenser mic. Featuring Austrian Audio’s proprietary Open Acoustics Technology and cutting-edge dual capsule design, the OD505 provides excellent handling along with superior noise suppression and feedback rejection, while their Active Dynamic circuitry ensures consistent sound, regardless of console input impedance. Superbly engineered and manufactured in Austria, the Austrian Audio OD505 captures every nuance of your vocal performances with breathtaking clarity and precision.
Versatility for any live or studio scenario
You might not think of a handheld dynamic mic as an especially high-tech device, but the Austrian Audio OD505 is packed with innovation that is unique in this category. While its supercardioid polar pattern provides superior rejection of off-axis sound, its sensitivity is more like that of a condenser mic, allowing it to capture the subtleties in any vocal performance. The OD505 features a custom 3D Pop Noise Diffuser for outstanding suppression of plosives, while a switchable second-order highpass filter attenuates low frequencies below 120Hz to provide even more versatility for live sound and studio recording applications. And you’ll sound the same, from the rehearsal hall to the stage to the studio, thanks to Austrian Audio’s Active Dynamic technology, which ensures consistent sonic quality, regardless of mixer or interface input impedance.
