Austrian Audio OC-S10 – Professional Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphone for Demanding Studios The Austrian Audio OC-S10 Studio Set is a technologically advanced microphone that sets new standards in the world of professional audio recording. The design of this large-diaphragm condenser microphone is based on the legacy of the legendary AKG C12 tube microphone, while offering modern technical solutions that will be appreciated by both professionals and semi-professionals working in recording studios. The OC-S10 is designed for those seeking exceptional sound quality and broad adaptability in various recording environments.

Product Features The Austrian Audio OC-S10 stands out from the competition thanks to its unique CKR12 capsule with Open Acoustics technology, which eliminates internal acoustic obstacles. The construction allows it to capture even the most subtle details of vocals or solo instruments with extraordinary precision. All key control elements are located on the front panel of the microphone: Low-cut filter – 40 Hz (2nd order), 80 Hz (2nd order), 160 Hz (1st order down to 80 Hz, 2nd order below) Switchable pad – -10 dB, -20 dB for high sound pressure level operation 6 polar patterns – cardioid, wide cardioid, hypercardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, and individual (dual-output) mode Dual-output mode – ability to independently record both sides of the diaphragm Versatility for Professionals One of the most innovative features of the OC-S10 is the dual-output mode, which enables simultaneous recording of the front and back of the diaphragm onto two separate channels. This solution opens the door to creative recording techniques, such as stereo and mid-side modes, which are invaluable when recording acoustic instruments, vocal ensembles, or for reference recording. Two XLR connectors ensure seamless integration with professional audio interfaces and studio mixers. The microphone excels at recording lead vocals, offering a warm, detailed sound with natural dynamics. It performs equally well with solo instruments – acoustic guitars, piano, wind instruments, or strings. The wide selection of polar patterns allows for precise adjustment of the microphone's character to the specifics of the recording session, minimizing unwanted ambient noise.
