Austrian Audio OC7 Microphone

OC7 Instrument Mic

The Austrian Audio OC7 brings the brand’s renowned true condenser technology and signature sound to close-miking instruments, drums, and amplifiers. At its heart is the newly developed OCC7 small-diaphragm condenser capsule, inspired by the legendary CK1. Shaped by the past and built for the future, the OCC7 delivers all the benefits of that classic design updated to meet the demands of today.

With a transformerless output and remarkably linear frequency response, the OC7 handles extremely high sound pressure levels of up to 154 dB SPL (160 dB with pad) without distortion, making it ideal for capturing everything from acoustic guitar to snare drums with clarity and nuance.

220° Swivel Joint

Designed for ultimate flexibility, the OC7 features a unique swivel joint with 220° rotation, allowing precise positioning even in the tightest spaces. Its ultra-durable metal housing withstands drumstick hits and the rigors of both studio and live use. Every OC7 is made in Vienna, ensuring precision engineering and superior quality.
