The Austrian Audio OC-S10 Studio Set is a studio condenser microphone. Combined with the advanced OCS 10 electronic circuit with low noise levels, this allows for capturing sound sources without any internal obstacles in the microphone design.
Features:
- Ideal for lead vocals and solo instruments
- Three switchable low-frequency filters: 40 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz (2nd order)
- Attenuator - 10 and -20 dB
- 5 selectable polar patterns: omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, figure-eight
- Dual XLR outputs for greater flexibility
- Metal mesh filter with magnetic mount
The OC-S10 delivers incredible clarity and richness in sound reproduction, allowing it to capture inspiring, detailed sound from sources without the noise and quirks often found in older microphone models. The OC-S10 features the renowned CKR12 capsule from Austrian Audio, which has a freely floating design and uses the company's open acoustics technology, a approach developed for the most natural sound reproduction with minimal impact from the microphone's physical properties. It also utilizes a completely new electronic design that reportedly provides an amazingly low noise level.
Discrete Component Scheme
The microphone features a completely new scheme utilizing discrete components and feedback symmetric amplifiers, specially designed to achieve high frequency response rates. This results in incredible accuracy in reproducing transient processes with minimal inherent noise levels.
5 Polar Patterns
The microphone boasts a large diaphragm, carefully designed for recording lead vocals and solo instruments with unparalleled accuracy. With five selectable polar patterns, three low-frequency filter options, and switchable attenuator at 10 and 20 dB, the OCS 10 offers exceptional versatility suitable for any recording scenario. Combined with the dual outputs (both XLR standards), it provides maximum flexibility in post-production, ensuring you can find and create your ideal sound.
By utilizing the two outputs, you can record in stereo or mid-side, opening up creative possibilities. The OC-S10 is an ideal modern tool for recording in professional or semi-professional studios. With the OC-S10, the front and rear portions of the capsule can be recorded separately, providing exceptional processing possibilities using the PolarDesigner and StereoCreator plug-in modules in Post Pro. These tools allow sound engineers to create a polar pattern or desired stereo image, offering unprecedented opportunities in post-production for altering room sound, proximity effect, or unwanted sibilance.
Control
With a frequency range from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, sensitivity of 14 mV/Pa (omnidirectional), and an extremely low equivalent noise level of just 8 dB SPL (A), the OC-S10 delivers a transparent sound image with impressive clarity. High-quality manufacturing, a durable metal body, and thoughtful technical specifications make this microphone set an ideal choice for professional studio recording requiring maximum precision and versatility.
The included shock mount features a ball joint for precise and delicate positioning, simplifying setup. Additionally, the metal mesh filter with magnetic mount effectively suppresses unwanted explosive sounds, preserving the richness and detail of the vocal spectrum.
