The OD505 is an "Active Dynamic" powerhouse. The active front capsule requires 48V phantom power and provides consistent impedance, meaning your sound stays identical regardless of cable length or preamp quality. Beneath the main capsule sits a secondary passive capsule specifically tuned to detect and cancel out handling noise, making this one of the "quietest" handheld microphones available for high-energy performers.
Product Description
Dual Capsule Technology for Pure Vocals:
The OD505 features a unique dual-capsule design. The top ODC50 active capsule provides the sensitivity and transient response of a high-end studio mic. The lower, phase-inverted capsule acts as a dedicated vibration absorber. This mechanical "noise cancellation" allows you to move freely on stage without the "thumps" and "rumble" that typically plague handheld dynamic microphones.
Open Acoustics and Feedback Rejection:
Proprietary Open Acoustics: Like its condenser siblings, the OD505 uses a specialized housing that minimizes sound-reflecting surfaces near the capsule. This results in a natural, resonance-free sound and a supercardioid pattern that is exceptionally tight.
Superior Feedback Suppression: The tight supercardioid pickup pattern ensures maximum rejection from the sides and rear, allowing for incredible gain-before-feedback even on the loudest stages with heavy monitor wedges.
3D Pop Noise Diffuser: The integrated pop filter is specifically designed to reduce explosive plosives (Ps and Bs) without muffling the high-frequency detail of your voice.
Engineered for Professional Performance:
The Austrian Audio OD505 is built with a rugged die-cast housing to survive the rigors of touring. Its switchable low-cut filter (120 Hz) helps clean up the "mud" from the proximity effect, ensuring that your vocals remain crisp and intelligible for the audience.
Key Features
Active Dynamic Design: Provides condenser-like detail with dynamic ruggedness.
