Description

Here's what Austrian Audio have to say about the OD303 Dynamic Supercardioid Vocal Microphone

The OD303 focuses on what’s important: the best possible sound for your vocal performance. It is well-balanced and open, but at the same time its powerful sound is unparalleled in this price range.

Key Features

  • ODC50 dynamic capsule – state-of-the-art dual capsule design
  • 3D Pop Noise Diffusor – specially designed, this filter effectively reduces the impact of plosives
  • Rugged die-cast body – for the most challenging live environments
  • Optimal shaped supercardioid – polar pattern across a wide frequency band with excellent feedback stability

With its rugged construction, the OD303 will withstand daily use in the rehearsal room and also the wear and tear of the road. The die-cast housing is virtually indestructible and the microphone fits comfortably in the hand.

The OD303 also incorporates the legendary Open Acoustic technology of Austrian Audio which delivers an optimally-shaped supercardioid polar pattern across a wide frequency band and with excellent feedback stability. 

Sound engineers will greatly appreciate minimum changes in the sound and without increased feedback: Due to the open design, there are only minimal changes in sound and feedback behaviour when holding the mic close to the head grille. In addition, the proprietary 3D Pop Noise Diffuser, developed by Austrian Audio, reduces noise caused by explosive sounds such as "T" and "P".

The OD303 is a great option for artists who want Austrian Audio quality sound without breaking the bank.

Dynamic Microphones

Dynamic microphones use a moving-coil or related robust capsule design and are often chosen for live sound, broadcast, drums, guitar cabinets, vocals and loud sources. They generally tolerate handling and high sound-pressure levels well, while many need more preamp gain than a sensitive condenser. Compare polar pattern, proximity effect, off-axis behaviour, grille and mounting, plus the available gain and noise performance of the interface or mixer. A dynamic microphone can be a focused close-range tool, but the model’s response and placement determine whether it suits speech, stage or instrument work.
