Critic Reviews

Austrian Audio OD505 & OC707 microphones review: Innovation leads the way as the Viennese waltz onto the stage

musictech.com

The Austrian Audio OC707 offers a compelling sound with a smooth frequency response that excels in studio and live settings, particularly for female vocals. While it impresses with its build quality and onboard high-pass filter, it suffers from a top-heavy design that can be unwieldy when handheld, and some proximity effects can still be problematic. Its performance is commendable, but it lacks that extra edge in clarity compared to pricier competitors. Overall, it’s a solid contender for those seeking versatility without breaking the bank, though it may require careful handling and some EQ adjustments for optimal results.

Austrian Audio OC707 – FOH | Front of House Magazine

fohonline.com

Austrian Audio's OC707 shines with its exceptional clarity and off-axis rejection, making it a strong contender for vocalists seeking studio-quality sound on stage. The robust construction withstands the rigors of live performance, and its dynamic range is impressive, capturing every nuance of the voice. However, it demands 48V phantom power and is more sensitive than typical dynamic mics, which may pose challenges in some setups. Additionally, the recessed low-cut filter switch can be inconvenient. Overall, while the OC707 is a stellar option for serious performers, those looking for plug-and-play convenience might find it a bit fussy.
