Reviews

MusicTech Feb 2023
Like other Austrian Audio mics we’ve tested, the off-axis response and rear rejection capability are stellar, with no resonant or scooped colouration of sounds reaching the mic at the null points of the polar pattern.
Amazona.de Feb 2023
Das Austrian Audio OD5 Mikrofon ist ein aktives dynamisches Instrumentenmikrofon, das im Test vollauf überzeugen konnte und zwar nicht nur vor dem Gitarrenverstärker, sondern auch für Sprache.
Mixonline
The OD5 has a classic dynamic mic sound, which is aided by active electronics, a swivel head, its high-pass filter and excellent SPL handling.
Bonedo.de Feb 2023
Wer also ein sehr gut verarbeitetes Instrumentenmikrofon mit hervorragenden Klangeigenschaften sucht, sollte sich das Austrian Audio OD5 unbedingt mal genauer anhören.
Sound On Sound March 2023
The OD5 and OC7 bring ergonomic innovation to the world of instrument mics and offer an appealing sonic contrast, with the OC7 supplying a ‘vanilla’, neutral tonal quality and the OD5 introducing some rock & roll excitement.
Professional Audio Magazin
Das neue OD5 überzeugt als flexibel einsetzbarer Allrounder, der sich schnell positionieren lässt und die Suche nach dem Sweetspot deutlich erleichtert. Die Verarbeitung ist erstklassig und klanglich sind erstklassige Ergebnisse möglich.

Performance. Placement. Precision.

The OD5 applies the robust sound quality and stability of Austrian Audio active dynamic technology to a versatile instrument microphone design. Whether you’re tracking in the studio or running long cables to the stage, the OD5’s ODC50 capsule and active dynamic circuitry work together to give you focused, noise-free sound with plenty of headroom and SPL resistance.

The unique swivel joint with 220º rotation lets you place the OD5 in the exact spot you want, and the rugged metal enclosure makes sure the mic stays put and keeps working even after years of use. Handmade at our Vienna facility, the OD5 gives you premium performance—from every angle.

What Friends Are Saying

The OD505 on singers are simply smoother and more voluminous than the competition.

“I really love the inclusion of adventure within my compositions and keeping that spontaneous, natural element in my work.

We tried a lot of microphones on the guitar amps, but the OC18 was clearly at the forefront due to its transparency and balance.

I love the design of Hi-X65, their construction is quite good as they are strong but at the same time comfortable and also very handy.

I wanted to let you know that I've been experimenting with the microphone you sent me and I love it!.
