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

Thomas Promitzer, FOH sound engineer for Melissa - We tested a number of products at a rehearsal and were immediately impressed! I now use the OC707WL1 capsule for the main vocals at Melissa.

The 818s are absolutely stunning! Not only they sound incredible on pretty much any source but they give me extreme flexibility to shape my sounds after the recording through PolarDesigner and Stereo Creator.

“For my productions it’s imperative to capture the sound of an instrument in all its naturalness including any background noises”.

The Hi-X60 offers a seamless transition between speakers and headphones without any noticeable difference.

I came across the austrian audio mics in search of a new tom mic.

“I've tested the OC818 with vocals so far, and I like the result! The mic has a nice top end – especially for crisp pop vocals.

Anastasia Charakidou

I finally found what I was looking for.
