HERE'S WHAT AUSTRIAN AUDIO SAY ABOUT THE OD505 Active Dynamic Vocal Microphone:

The OD505 Active Dynamic Vocal Microphone is Austrian Audio’s all-rounder microphone and features exquisite Viennese craftsmanship. With it’s Active-Dynamic-Technology, the OD505 is designed primarily for the stage, though it is also a very capable microphone for studio application. Uncompromisingly robust, it combines all the advantages of a dynamic microphone with the tonal finesse of a condenser microphone.

Featuring Austrian Audio’s proprietary Open Acoustics Technology, the ODC50-SC capsule of the OD505 is mounted as free-standing as possible.  By reducing the contact points of the capsule and the mounting, as well as eliminating unwanted reflections that can be caused by the housing, the Open Acoustics design results in a pristine, natural and resonance-free sound without any colouring.

The active front capsule requires 48V phantom power and, at 4.4 mV / Pa, has almost the same sensitivity as a condenser microphone. With its active circuitry, the OD505’s sound is always consistent, regardless of the internal resistance of the microphone preamplifier or length of connecting cables. The passive lower capsule is polarity-rotated, it senses and eliminates unwanted handling noise. This state-of-the-art dual capsule design, together with the selectable 2nd order high-pass filter makes the OD505 practically immune to noise such as handling noises, bumps and stage knocks. 

The OD505 is the perfect choice for any artist, whether lead or backing vocalist. Its amazingly natural sound makes it very easy to shape and highlight a vocalist's strengths.

Ambient noise can be a major problem in many live situations. Therefore the OD505 features a tight supercardioid pattern offering a superb off-axis rejection, ensuring maximum gain before feedback, focusing on the vocal signal in front of the microphone. The overall sound also benefits from this directionality, as elements such as drums or other loud instruments in the immediate vicinity are not unintentionally amplified via the vocal microphone channel.
This makes the OD505 also an ideal microphone for rehearsal room or recording studio applications, especially for sessions with multiple instruments or full ensembles. Radio broadcasters and podcasters will also benefit from the advantages of increased speech intelligibility and minimised disruptive diffused sound.

The OD505 also includes another Austrian Audio proprietary development: The 3D Pop Noise Diffuser. This filter is specially designed for the OD505 and effectively reduces the impact of plosives. 

We are proud to say that the OD505 is “Made in Austria; this is your guarantee of world-class quality and sustainability. Only the highest quality materials and techniques are used in the design and manufacture of the OD505, and all our testing i

Dynamic

A dynamic microphone is a type of microphone that uses an electromagnetic principle to convert sound into an electrical signal. It consists of a diaphragm attached to a coil of wire placed within the magnetic field of a magnet. When sound waves hit the diaphragm, it causes the diaphragm to move, generating an electrical current in the coil, which is then sent as an audio signal. Dynamic microphones are known for their durability, ability to handle high sound pressure levels, and resistance to moisture, making them ideal for live sound situations and rugged environments. They are commonly used for vocals, instruments, and public speaking.

Live Microphones

A live microphone is a microphone designed for use in real-time sound amplification during events like concerts, public speaking, or theatre performances. These microphones are built for durability to withstand the physical demands of live events, often featuring cardioid or supercardioid patterns to reject unwanted noise from the sides or rear. They are typically used to capture clear and focused sound, ensuring high-quality audio for both the performer and the audience, and are chosen based on their ability to handle varying sound levels and environmental conditions.

Mic

A mic is a common abbreviation for microphone, a device that converts sound waves into electrical signals for recording or amplification. Mics come in various types and designs—such as dynamic, condenser, ribbon, and lavalier—each suited to different applications, from live performances and studio recording to broadcasting and filmmaking. Choosing the right mic is essential for capturing clear, high-quality sound tailored to the specific environment and source.

Sorry, it looks like at the moment we don’t have any of these left. They might be back in soon. Please read for more details with latest delivery dates.

Supercardioid

A supercardioid microphone has a highly directional pickup pattern, similar to the cardioid microphone, but with an even narrower focus. It is most sensitive to sound coming from the front, but also has a small area of sensitivity at the rear. This makes it ideal for isolating sound sources while rejecting noise from the sides and some noise from the rear. The supercardioid pattern offers a more focused sound capture than a standard cardioid microphone, making it particularly useful in live sound environments or recording situations where high isolation of the primary sound source is needed. However, because of its rear sensitivity, it may require more careful positioning to avoid capturing unwanted background noise.

Vocal

A vocal microphone is specifically designed to capture the sound of the human voice with clarity and detail. These microphones are typically used in recording studios, live performances, and broadcasting. They come in various types, with condenser microphones being the most common for studio use due to their sensitivity and wide frequency response, capturing the nuances of a voice. Dynamic microphones are also popular for live vocal performances due to their durability and ability to handle high sound pressure levels. Vocal microphones are engineered to focus on capturing the tonal qualities of the voice while minimizing background noise, ensuring the vocals stand out in the mix.
