The OD505 was a gift from a friend that introduced me to the Austrian Audio family. I use it as my main live microphone and the OD303 as a backup ever since I first tried it back to back vs another microphone I had been using for years. The difference was remarkable and I find that I have more longevity in my touring abilities since I made the change. I would 10/10 recommend to any metal vocalist with a touring schedule..
