AustrianAudio OD505 -aktiivinen dynaaminen mikrofoni

The Best of Two Worlds

The actively dynamic vocal microphone OD505 is the all-round talent of Viennese craftsmanship. Designed for the stage, it also feels at home in the studio. It is uncompromisingly robust and combines the advantages of a dynamic microphone with the sonic finesse of a condenser microphone.

The OD505 is the perfect performance partner for any artist, whether a lead or backing vocalist. With its natural tuning and fantastic signal quality, it provides the ideal foundation to highlight the strengths of every voice with just a few adjustments.

In many live situations, ambient sound on stage can be a significant problem. That’s why the OD505 features a supercardioid pattern. This effectively minimizes unwanted bleed and focuses on the voice. This ensures optimal control over vocal sound, as elements like drums or other loud instruments in close proximity are not additionally amplified through the vocal microphone.

Making Passion Heard

The capsule with Active Dynamic technology requires 48V phantom power and has a sensitivity of 4.4 mV/Pa, nearly matching that of a condenser microphone. This allows even quiet sounds to be captured with remarkable detail. The second, lower capsule is passively wired and only captures mechanically introduced signals. By phase-inverting this signal and mixing it with the active capsule, along with the switchable second-order high-pass filter, the OD505 significantly reduces low-frequency handling noise, which often causes the most problems in the signal chain.

This thoughtful design is complemented by another Austrian Audio innovation, the Pop Noise Diffuser. This filter is specifically tailored to the microphone and minimizes explosive sounds like T and P to a minimum.
