OD505 Active Dynamic Vocal Microphone The best of two worlds.
The best of two worlds. The OD505 Active Dynamic Vocal Microphone is designed primarily for the stage, though it is also a very capable microphone for studio application. Uncompromisingly robust, it combines all the advantages of a dynamic microphone with the tonal finesse of a condenser microphone.
The OD505 is the perfect choice for singers, podcasters and radio broadcasters. Its amazingly natural sound makes it very easy to shape and highlight a vocalist’s strengths.
Featuring Austrian Audio’s proprietary Open Acoustics Technology, the OD505 delivers a pristine, natural and resonance-free sound without any colouring.
Made in Austria.
ODC50 active dynamic capsule state-of-the-art dual capsule design for consistent sound and amazing noise suppression
3D Pop Noise Diffusor specially designed for the OD505, this filter effectively reduces the impact of plosives.
Rugged die-cast body for the most challenging live environments
Switchable Low cut filter 120 Hz (2nd order)
Supercardioid Directional characteristic
The heart of the OD505 ODC50-SC active dynamic capsule Making Passion Heard The active front capsule requires 48V phantom power and, at 4.4 mV / Pa, has almost the same sensitivity as a condenser microphone. With its active circuitry, the OD505’s sound is always consistent, regardless of the internal resistance of the microphone preamplifier or length of connecting cables. The passive lower capsule is polarity-rotated, it senses and eliminates unwanted handling noise.
This state-of-the-art dual capsule design, together with the selectable 2nd order high-pass filter makes the OD505 practically immune to noise such as handling noises, bumps and stage knocks.
The OD505 also includes another Austrian Audio proprietary development: The 3D Pop Noise Diffuser. This filter is specially designed for the OD505 and effectively reduces the impact of plosives.
