Austrian Audio OD505 Active Dynamic Vocal Microphone

Studio Finesse Meets Stage Power

The Austrian Audio OD505 is a high-performance active dynamic vocal microphone that bridges the gap between stage durability and studio-quality transparency. Engineered for demanding vocalists, podcasters, and broadcasters, it delivers a natural, resonance-free sound that highlights the unique strengths of any voice without unwanted colouring.

Dual-Capsule Precision
The OD505 features a state-of-the-art dual-capsule design that sets a new standard for live vocal clarity. The active front capsule provides sensitivity comparable to a condenser microphone, while the passive lower capsule is polarity-rotated to actively sense and cancel out unwanted handling noise. This ensures your performance remains pristine and focused, even in the most energetic live environments.

Open Acoustics Advantage
Utilising Austrian Audio’s proprietary Open Acoustics Technology, the capsule is mounted as a free-standing unit to eliminate internal reflections and housing-induced resonance. By reducing contact points between the capsule and the enclosure, the OD505 achieves a remarkably linear response. This results in a transparent soundstage that allows engineers to shape your vocal effortlessly without fighting muddy frequencies.

Unrivalled Performance Consistency
Integrated active circuitry ensures the OD505 delivers a consistent frequency response regardless of your cable length or the internal resistance of your preamplifier. Combined with the 3D Pop Noise Diffuser—a conical filter designed to disperse plosives before they reach the diaphragm—you get a "mix-ready" sound that slices through a dense band while remaining protected from pops and thumps.

Main features:

• Active dynamic circuitry providing condenser-level sensitivity for a detailed, punchy sound
• Supercardioid polar pattern for exceptional off-axis rejection and maximum gain before feedback
• Innovative dual-capsule architecture designed to eliminate handling noise and stage vibrations
• Proprietary 3D Pop Noise Diffuser for superior suppression of plosive consonants like "P" and "B"
• Switchable 120Hz second-order high-pass filter to control proximity effect and stage rumbles
• Robust die-cast metal body engineered for the most challenging professional touring environments
• Consistent sonic performance regardless of preamp impedance or cable length
