Austrian Audio OD5 Active Dynamic Instrumental Microphone (black)

Most noticeable is the “Swivel Joint” mechanism. To simplify the positioning of the instrument microphone, Austrian Audio’s engineers have developed a suspension system for the microphone basket that allows a 220° rotation of the field. This allows the microphone to be precisely aligned to the sound source or according to personal sound preferences.

A feature already known from the OD505 vocal microphone is the active-dynamic circuit. This ensures that even long cable runs have no negative effect on the signal. In addition, the active-dynamic design allows the integration of a proper high-pass filter.

As a very versatile instrument microphone, the OD5 will find many uses. Perfectly suited for use on various drums; a custom mount is available as an optional accessory; it’s also superb on guitar amplifiers, as well as in front of wind instruments.
