Handheld Vocal Mic for Stage & Studio Directional Cardioid Polar Pattern Cardioid Capsule for Nuance & Depth Switchable High-Pass Filter Robust Die-Cast Construction Capture a professional vocal sound in the studio and on the stage with the Austrian Audio OC707, a handheld microphone that offers the look and versatility of classic stage mics such as the SM58, but utilizes a condenser capsule to show off every nuance of the human voice. Whether you’re singing live or recording in the studio, this microphone will capture the depth of your voice. This is a cardioid microphone for a directional capture and feedback-reducing performance, but unlike similar dynamic microphones, the OC707 opts to suppress the often-muffled byproducts of the proximity effect for a naturalistic capture. You’ll also find a 2nd-order high-pass filter to help eliminate rumble, and solid die-cast body to ensure durability on the road. The OCC7 small-diaphragm capsule with true condenser technology, developed and built in Vienna, is the heart of the microphoneAustrian Audio’s proprietary Open Acoustics Technology ensures that the signal source is reproduced as resonance-free as possibleFurthermore, this design also reduces the microphone’s sensitivity to physically induced sound, such as handling noise and shocksThe switchable 2nd order high-pass filter further enhances these features and can be used for sound shaping, an effective tool against excessive proximity effectsA lower near-field effect than similar cardioid handheld microphonesRuggest die-cast body for durabilityUPC: 810019100253
