Own the Spotlight. Command Every Detail.
This is not just a microphone. It’s a statement. The OC-S10 is built for moments that matter – where every nuance counts and nothing gets hidden. Designed as Austrian Audio’s flagship large-diaphragm condenser, it delivers uncompromising sonic purity, extreme transient precision, and total control over your sound. No coloration. No shortcuts. No weak links in the chain.
From intimate vocals to demanding solo performances, the OC-S10 captures exactly what’s there – and gives you the power to shape everything that follows. A fully discrete signal path, dual outputs, and integrated acoustic control turn every recording into a decision you can make later, not one you have to lock in now.
This is more than capture. This is control at the source.
Built for those who demand more.
One Mic. Every Moment That Matters.
The OC-S10 is made for the front line – where performances carry weight and detail makes the difference. From lead vocals to solo instruments, it captures presence, depth, and nuance with absolute precision. Voices cut through with clarity. Acoustic instruments breathe with natural detail. Transients stay fast, tight, and fully intact – from delicate strings to percussive attacks.
But it doesn’t stop there. The OC-S10 adapts to complex recording situations with ease. Dial in the perfect balance between direct sound and room. Control bleed in live sessions. Capture mono or create fully flexible stereo setups from a single microphone.
One position. Endless possibilities.
Whether you’re tracking a vocal, shaping a room, or building a stereo image – the OC-S10 delivers a foundation you can trust, and the freedom to take it anywhere.
Total Control. Before. During. After.
The OC-S10 doesn’t lock you into decisions – it gives you control at every stage of the process. With its dual-output design, you capture both sides of the CKR12 capsule separately, keeping every option open. Shape your polar pattern after recording. Adjust proximity effect. Control room sound. Even define different patterns across frequency ranges – all in post, without touching EQ.
Use PolarDesigner and StereoCreator to go further: refine your sound in real time, switch between stereo techniques, or turn a single microphone into a fully flexible recording system. One take becomes multiple possibilities.
Need speed? Run it in single-output mode and get five perfectly tuned patterns instantly. No setup. No complexity. Just results.
From fast sessions to high-stakes productions, the OC-S10 adapts to your workflow – not the other way around.
CKR12. Pure Sound at Its Core.
At the heart of the OC-S10 is the CKR12 – Austrian Audio’s handcrafted 1” large-diaphragm true condenser capsule, built on the legacy of the legendary C12 and pushed far beyond it. Engineered with a ceramic backplate and individually measured during production, the CKR12 delivers exceptional consistency, ultra-low distortion, and a level of detail that reveals every nuance of a performance. Fast transients, open highs, controlled lows – all captured with absolute precision and zero artificial coloration.
What truly sets it apart is Austrian Audio’s „Open Acoustic“ design. The capsule operates in an environment free from internal reflections and interference, allowing it to perform at its full potential. Combined with the integrated metal foam pop filter, the signal remains untouched – protected without compromise.
No vintage myths. No artificial character. Just the full truth of your sound.
Nothing added. Nothing held back.
