The Gems

The Gems

We play hard rock and we play it loud. In this soundscape all the frequencies need to fight for their existence. The microphones we use need to be top-tier quality for our vocals, to be able to cut through the mid-range guitar madness and take center stage. The gear needs to be able to survive in a rough environment with extensive touring and still be able to sound amazing, delivering a clear vocal sound. Our first choice of microphones is Austrian Audio OD505, an active dynamic microphone that delivers everything that we need. The microphone gives a feeling of openness and ease. It’s robust due to its supercardioid characteristics, yet delicate as a studio microphone thanks to the pre-amp feature. OD505 is a must for The Gems live shows!

My experience with Austrian Audio has been amazing from the beginning. From first discovering them at Sisters Festival, Vienna when I was performing and they were sponsoring, I am now proud to say one year later that I am a friend of Austrian Audio! On my debut album, I have used the OC818 for vocals, drums and guitars as it captures quality from source before any processing which is exactly what I have been looking for!

Austrian Audio Microphones
have definitely improved my life as an artist, wether it’s working in my
studio when recording everything from Jazz to Hardcore Punk or when I’m
performing as a guitarist/singer on stages all over the world.

“I love Austrian Audio. The quality of their products makes me feel so confident whenever I’m in front of the mic. I can count on my sound being clear and clean. Even besides the products, the company is run by such great people. The OC18 has quickly become my favorite microphone that I have ever recorded with.”

In fast paced situations, especially where acoustics are far from ideal, its important to have tools that I can trust and rely on. Austrian Audio deliver every time. Through there impeccable manufacturing and great design I can always get an amazing sound with their mics. And mixing in loud environments is made much easier with the Hi X closed back range of headphones, I use them on every job

I love working with Austrian Audio microphones. The OC7 and OC18 have become necessities in my mic box. Nothing gets me “THAT” sound as quickly when working with rock drummers and the OD505 just works for me nine times out of ten with male vocals

After struggling with a particular artist to find the right microphone to really capture the nuance of the voice, a friend had pointed me towards Austrian Audios live vocal mics, the OD505 and the OC707. As soon as I tried these capsules in a shoot out against many other professional manufacturers, it became clear that the OD505 was everything I was after. It had detail while being incredibly functional in reducing stage bleed. Now the OD505 and OC707 live as go to’s for vocalists in a live environment. Austrian Audio are a brilliant company with high quality products as well as customer service that stands out in the current market.

Hi-X65 has an excellent design, but its standout feature is the exceptional fit! I’m also pleased to see the large ‘L’ and ‘R’ markings on the inside. I don’t usually wear headphones much, but when it comes to finishing work or while on the move, Hi-X65 provides the same impressive audio experience as my trusted speakers. It’s truly reliable.

Austrian Audio are the best microphones I’ve ever worked with. If on stage or at the studio. They bring out all the colors of my voice and are a great enrichment for my performance!

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..
