## Long description

The Austrian Audio OC7 is a professional-grade studio instrument microphone engineered for precise sound capture. Handmade in Vienna, this true condenser microphone features the proprietary OCC7 small diaphragm capsule, which is designed to deliver an open and transparent sound profile. Its robust construction and innovative Swivel Joint mechanism allow for 220-degree rotation, enabling accurate positioning toward any sound source without the need to adjust the microphone stand.
Advantages
The primary strength of the OC7 lies in its exceptional transient response and ability to handle high sound pressure levels without distortion. The gold-coated polyethylene naphthalate diaphragm provides superior durability compared to standard materials, ensuring a long service life. Its linear frequency response and low self-noise contribute to a wide dynamic range, maintaining a natural and smooth sound character even during intense recording sessions. The unique swivel design significantly improves workflow efficiency in both studio and live environments.
Suitable for
Recording percussion instruments including snare drums and toms
Capturing acoustic guitars and other string instruments
Piano recording applications
Professional studio environments requiring high-fidelity instrument capture
When it may not be suitable
This microphone is specifically optimized for instrument recording and may not be the ideal choice for vocal applications where a large-diaphragm microphone with a different proximity effect might be preferred. Additionally, as a true condenser microphone, it requires phantom power to operate, which may limit its use with devices that cannot provide 48V power.
Key specifications
Microphone type: True condenser
Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20000 Hz
Maximum sound pressure level: 154 dB
Polar pattern: Cardioid
Output impedance: 275 Ω
Connectivity: Wired XLR
Dimensions: 82 mm x 54 mm x 147 mm
How to use
To use the Austrian Audio OC7, connect it to a professional audio interface or mixing console using a standard XLR cable. Ensure that 48V phantom power is enabled on your preamp or interface for the microphone to function. Utilize the integrated Swivel Joint mechanism by rotating the microphone basket to align the capsule precisely with your instrument. Because of its cardioid polar pattern, ensure the front of the microphone is pointed directly at the sound source to achieve optimal isolation and clarity.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure your audio interface or mixer supports 48V phantom power.
Verify that you have high-quality XLR cables available for connection.
Consider the specific instrument you intend to record to ensure the cardioid polar pattern meets your isolation requirements.
Usage recommendations
For the best results, experiment with the microphone placement using the Swivel Joint to find the sweet spot of your instrument. Avoid exposing the capsule to excessive moisture or extreme physical impact to maintain the integrity of the handmade diaphragm.
