Das Preis/Leistungsverhältnis ist für diese Verarbeitungs- und Klangqualität als sehr gut zu bezeichnen, besonders wenn man mal den Klang gegen deutlich teurere Mikrofone vergleicht. Auch wenn man die CK1-Kapsel als Vorbild genommen hat, ist es nicht einfach nur eine klangliche Kopie der CK1. Man kann halt auch Gutes noch besser machen.

Im Test überzeugt das anthrazit-farbene Stäbchen mit einem „großen“, ausgewogenen Charakter, der die Mitten und Tiefmitten fokussiert. Die Transientenwiedergabe ist schnell und akkurat, an Hihats und an der akustischen Gitarre sorgt der in österreich gebaute Schallwandler für präzise, musikalische Ergebnisse.

Klanglicher Überflieger für wenig Geld. Das Austrian Audio CC8 ist ein Kleinmembranmikrofon höchster Güte und eignet sich im Studio sowie Live für vielfältigste Anwendungen.

A future Austrian classic. I sincerely hope the CC8 becomes one of those rare modern mics that we’ll still be using and talking about in 30 years. The Austrian Audio CC8 is that well-built and sounds that good on just about anywhere you crave a clean, silky, natural, focused capture.

One aspect where the CC8 excels at is its astonishingly low self-noise. This, I feel, adds to the sense of inky-black silence that occurs between musical passages and individual notes, creating a finely-etched sound with plenty of detail without added brightness or hyped treble.

Let Every Detail of Your Performance Shine.

The Austrian Audio CC8 is a small-diaphragm condenser microphone that adapts a classic sound for modern artists and producers. Our OCC7 capsule brings the legendary CK1 capsule into the future.

The CC8 sounds natural and open without becoming harsh or spiky, even at extreme volumes. The mids and highs are silky smooth, never exaggerated. This makes the CC8 the ideal microphone for the detailed recording of various acoustic instruments, such as stringed instruments, woodwinds and brass, and orchestral percussion, in addition, instruments like acoustic guitar, piano, snares, hi-hat, and entire drum sets.

The heart of the CC8

At the heart of the Austrian Audio CC8 microphone beats the newly-developed OCC7 small-diaphragm condenser capsule. Inspired by the legendary CK1, the OCC7 delivers all the benefits of that classic design updated to meet the demands of today. Shaped by the past; built for the future.

The OCC7 capsule and transformerless output gives the CC8 a remarkably linear frequency response, handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL) of up to 156 dB, without distorting.

Before leaving the factory, each microphone is measured to a tolerance of max. +/- 0.5 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz. This means that any CC8 can be match-paired with any other, regardless of production dates.

Made in Vienna. Again.

What Friends Are Saying

MiCreator is small enough to carry anywhere in a bag, and its ease of use, quickly set it up and start recording right away.

AURORA is using a custom-painted OD505WL1 capsule on stage.

As a performing artist, my voice and its clarity are everything.

I’m obsessed with quality and design of the OC7.

The OC818 can be used to change the directivity of the same take multiple times using the PolarDesigner plug-in.

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

We are very pleased with the performance of the OC18 microphones! Also our drummer, Florian Koch, one of the operators of Sonic Studios in Vienna, is impressed about the sonic and overall quality.
