Whether you are capturing the explosive transients of a snare drum, the delicate resonance of an acoustic guitar, or the warmth of a guitar cabinet, the OC7 serves as a \"blank canvas,\" delivering a natural and detailed sound that sits perfectly in any mix. Handcrafted in Vienna, this is the ultimate workhorse for the studio, the stage, and high-end content creation.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1103\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/bPJPg2hoCRg\" title=\"The OC7 | Better Ask Kurt | Austrian Audio\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFind Your Sweet Spot with the 220° Swivel Joint\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eTraditional end-address microphones often struggle in the cramped real estate of a drum kit or a busy stage. The OC7 solves this with an innovative swivel mechanism that allows the capsule to rotate through 220 degrees independently of the microphone body. This ergonomic breakthrough means you can precisely align the capsule to your sound source in seconds without ever having to adjust the mic stand or wrestle with stiff XLR cables.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eThe Legendary OCC7 True Condenser Capsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of the OC7 beats the newly developed OCC7 capsule, hand-built in Vienna and inspired by the classic CK1 design. This capsule is engineered to handle extremely high sound pressure levels (up to 160 dB with the pad engaged) while maintaining a remarkably linear frequency response. It translates fast transients with incredible nuance, ensuring that every percussive hit and plucked string sounds dynamic, alive, and distortion-free.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePristine Sound with Open Acoustics Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe OC7 utilizes proprietary Open Acoustics technology to deliver a superior cardioid polar pattern that remains consistent across the entire frequency range. By reducing internal reflections and acoustic shadowing, the OC7 ensures that off-axis bleed from other instruments sounds natural and musical rather than phasey. This provides engineers with a cleaner signal that requires less corrective EQ and gating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-built OCC7 small-diaphragm true condenser capsule made in Vienna\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInnovative swivel mechanism with 220-degree rotation for flexible placement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eExceptional sound pressure level handling of up to 154 dB (160 dB with pad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable -10 dB pad to prevent clipping when miking loud sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-position high-pass filter at 40 Hz and 80 Hz to eliminate low-end rumble\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged all-metal construction capable of withstanding accidental drumstick hits\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLinear cardioid pattern for professional-grade off-axis rejection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIncludes a dedicated mic clip and a durable padded transport case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e2x OC818 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones (Silver finish)\u003cbr\u003e2x OCC8 Mini XLR cables\u003cbr\u003e2x OCH8 microphone clamps\u003cbr\u003e2x OCW8 windscreens\u003cbr\u003e1x Padded Transport Case\u003cbr\u003e1x Quick Start Guide\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType \/ Product:\u003c\/strong\u003e Small-Diaphragm True Condenser Microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e True Condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e OCC7 Small Diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar Pattern:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 10 mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 154 dB (\u0026gt;160 dB with -10 dB pad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSelf Noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 19 dB SPL (A-weighted)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHigh-Pass Filter:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 Hz, 80 Hz (2nd order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSwitchable Pad:\u003c\/strong\u003e -10 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 275 Ohms (Symmetrical)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 V Phantom Power (\u0026lt; 2 mA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnector:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR 3-pin\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 147 x 82 x 54 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 275 g\u003ca style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Discover Austrian Audio Premium Microphone Solutions\" href=\"https:\/\/austrian.audio\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExplore Austrian Audio Premium Microphones:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca href=\"https:\/\/austrian.audio\/product\/oc7\/\" title=\"Explore Austrian Audio Premium Microphones\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003ehttps:\/\/austrian.audio\/product\/oc7\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ciframe width=\"1103\" height=\"621\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/62ytoibyfkQ\" title=\"Austrian Audio OC7 True Condenser Instrumental Microphone\" style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255); font-size: 0.875rem;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Austrian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51184448241700,"sku":"ADSRS_OC7","price":9594.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/8294\/files\/ADSRS_OC7IMG01.png?v=1785226789","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosaurus.co.za\/products\/austrian-audio-oc16-large-diaphragm-condenser-microphone","provider":"Audiosaurus ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
