Description

Here's what Austrian Audio say

The outstanding sound of the Austrian Audio OD505 vocal microphone with active dynamic circuitry has already won over many FOH engineers, technicians and artists. The OD505 WL1 is the ideal solution for all those who are mobile during their performance and depend on a wireless system, but want to retain the authentic Austrian Audio sound.
 
The OD505 WL1 is the perfect performance partner for any artist, whether lead or backing vocals. The natural tuning and exemplary signal quality provide the perfect foundation to bring out the strengths of any voice with minimal tweaks required.
 
In many live situations, ambient sound is a big problem. That's why a supercardioid polar pattern was chosen for the OD505. This optimally fades out unwanted interference and focuses on the voice. Elements such as drums or other loud instruments in the immediate vicinity are not additionally amplified by the vocal microphone.

Key Features

  • Austrian Audio’s Open Acoustic sound remains present over the radio transmission.
  • Perfectly-formed supercardioid over a wide frequency range.
  • Superb feedback characteristics
  • Reduced susceptibility to pop noise due to the innovative diffuser
  • No change in sound or feedback characteristics when gripping directly on the mic head grille
  • Excellent control over proximity effect

Wireless Microphones

Wireless microphones allow performers and presenters to move freely without being connected by cables. They are widely used in live performance, theatre, broadcast, and public speaking, offering convenience and flexibility on stage. Wireless systems vary in range and reliability, so choosing the right system depends on the environment, frequency management, and intended use.

Supercardioid

Supercardioid microphones use a tight directional pickup pattern that focuses strongly on sound from the front while rejecting much of the sound from the sides. They offer greater isolation than standard cardioid microphones, making them well suited to noisy environments.

Commonly used in live sound, broadcast and studio applications, supercardioid mics help reduce bleed from other instruments or speakers. Like hypercardioid microphones, they have a small rear pickup area, so careful placement is important to achieve the best clarity and control.

Wireless

Wireless microphones use radio transmission to send audio from the microphone to a receiver without a physical cable. They are widely used in live performance, broadcast, theatre, and presentations, allowing freedom of movement while maintaining clear and reliable sound.
