Simplify your recording process.

The Austrian Audio OD5 Active Dynamic Microphone takes the formula of the OD505 vocal microphone and turns it into a multi-purpose instrument microphone that is a must-have for any studio! Austrian Audio's active-dynamic circuit combines the sensitivity of a condenser microphone with the rugged nature of a dynamic microphone, resulting in a tool equally capable of recording thunderous guitar amps and delicate wind instruments. Additionally, the OD5's built-in swivel mechanism makes it easy to set up and adjust the microphone, offering a 220-degree rotation range to easily locate the sweet spot of the sound source. Finally, the OD5 features Austrian Audio's Open Acoustics technology, suspending the microphone basket and capsule to prevent acoustic interference and produce an incredibly accurate cardioid pickup pattern.

Versatile articulation system

Austrian Audio's innovative articulation mechanism, called the Swivel Joint, comes in handy when working with cramped microphone setups - no more endless repositioning of your stands! The microphone basket is suspended in place, allowing for 220-degree rotation that makes everything from minor adjustments to complete repositioning a breeze. This system's ability to save time by significantly simplifying the process of finding the sound source sweet spot is indispensable, especially since it virtually eliminates the headache of remounting microphones and adjusting stands.

Dynamic power meets capacitor flexibility

The OD5's Active-Dynamic circuitry gives this microphone condenser-like clarity and sensitivity, but also allows the OD5 to harness the power of the built-in pads and filters! No matter how loud your sound source, the OD5's -10dB pad will keep your signal click-free, with a maximum SPL of >160dB when engaged. Additionally, the OD5's CAB (Cut and Boost) filter offers two positions - the 80Hz setting removes unnecessary low frequencies, making it a great choice for sources like guitar amps. Meanwhile, the second position at 120Hz is a versatile high-frequency second-order filter.
