Introducing the Austrian Audio OD505 Active Dynamic Vocal Handheld Microphone, a fusion of cutting-edge technology and sonic excellence. This dynamic microphone is specifically designed for stage use, but is equally competent for studio applications. It robustly combines the durability of a dynamic microphone with the tonal finesse of a condenser microphone.

The Austrian Audio OD505 is packed with innovation. While its supercardioid polar pattern ensures superior rejection of off-axis sound, its sensitivity matches that of a condenser mic, capturing every subtlety in your vocal performance. Its high sensitivity and Active Dynamic technology maintain consistent sound quality, regardless of the mixer or interface input impedance. This means you'll sound the same, from the rehearsal hall to the stage to the studio.

This microphone features Austrian Audio's proprietary Open Acoustics Technology and a unique dual capsule design, delivering a pristine, natural, and resonance-free sound without any colouring. The OD505 is practically immune to handling noises and stage knocks, thanks to its state-of-the-art design and a selectable 2nd order low cut filter.
