Austrian Audio OC707 Condenser Vocal Microphone

Austrian Audio OC707 Condenser Vocal Microphone Overview

Capturing every nuance of your performance through the world-renowned Austrian Audio craftsmanship, your voice will delight your audience.

Designed to capture the dynamics and subtleties of the human voice

The OC707 blocks out unwanted noise from the outset while giving your voice a great depth of volume. The OC707 lets the vocal cut through the mix, clear, detailed and natural. The well-balanced sound also offers an excellent, reduced proximity effect which is advantageous to every performance. The unique tonal characteristics of your voice are preserved throughout.

Austrian Audio has succeeded in creating a vocal handheld microphone that has all the important characteristics of a studio microphone yet can withstand the rigours of everyday stage use. The combination of low self-noise (19 dB SPL) and high sound pressure level (151 dB SPL) results in an impressive dynamic range.

The OCC7 small-diaphragm capsule with true condenser technology, developed and built-in Vienna, is the heart of the microphone. The capsule’s three-micron thick gold-coated polyethene naphthalate (pen) diaphragm is much more robust than conventional Mylar alternatives.

Featuring Open Acoustics Technology

Austrian Audio’s proprietary Open Acoustics Technology 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. Furthermore, the reduction of sound-reflecting surfaces in proximity to the capsule ensures that the signal source is reproduced as resonance-free as possible; advanced materials technology and sophisticated mechanics reduce unwanted vibrations. Care was also taken to achieve maximum suppression of feedback.

This intelligent design also reduces the microphone’s sensitivity to physically-induced sound, such as handling noise and shocks. The switchable 2nd order high-pass filter further enhances these features and can be used for sound-shaping, an effective tool against excessive proximity effects.
