The CC8 cardioid small-diaphragm true condenser microphone is hand-built in Vienna and created with professionals in mind.\n\n\n\nAt the heart of the Austrian Audio CC8 microphone beats the newly-developed OCC7 small-diaphragm condenser capsule. Inspired by the legendary CK1, the OCC7 delivers all the benefits of that classic design updated to meet the demands of today. Shaped by the past; built for the future.\n\n\n\nThe OCC7 capsule and transformer- less output gives the CC8 a remarkably linear frequency response, handling extremely high sound pressure levels (SPL) of up to 156 dB, without distorting.\n\n\n\nThe CC8 sounds natural and open without becoming harsh or spiky, even at extreme volumes. The mids and highs are silky smooth, never exaggerated. This makes the CC8 the ideal microphone for the detailed recording of various acoustic instruments, such as stringed instruments, woodwinds and brass, and orchestral percussion, in addition, instruments like acoustic guitar, piano, snares, hi-hat, and entire drum sets.\n\n\n\nBefore leaving the factory, each microphone is measured to a tolerance of max. +\/- 0.5 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz. This means that any CC8 can be match-paired with any other, regardless of production dates.\n\n\u003ch2 class=\"aa-section-title js-slide-up\"\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"row js-slide-up a\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"aa-icon-handcrafted\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHandmade OCC7 condenser capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature-desc\"\u003e\n\n\n\nInspired by a legend, this newly developed capsule takes on the heritage with the benefits of the classic and the demands of today.\n\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"aa-icon-cardioid\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHigh precision cardioid pattern\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature-desc\"\u003e\n\n\n\ndirectional characteristic\n\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"aa-icon-all-metal\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eRugged Design\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature-desc\"\u003e\n\n\n\nMetal housing, cap, and grille\n\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"aa-icon-analogue\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSwitchable high pass filter\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature-desc\"\u003e\n\n\n\n60 Hz (2nd order), 120 Hz (2nd order)\n\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"aa-icon-highpass-filter\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTwo different types of analogue pads\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature-desc\"\u003e\n\n\n\nPads (0, -10 dB, -20 dB) to enable to pick up sound up to 156dB\n\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-12 col-md-4\"\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature\"\u003e\n\u003ci class=\"aa-icon-microprocessor\"\u003e\u003c\/i\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMatch-paired out of the box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cdiv class=\"key-feature-desc\"\u003e\n\n\n\nEach microphone is measured and tuned to a tolerance of max. +\/-0.5 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz.\n\n\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austrian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50859067605280,"sku":"CC8","price":659.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0953\/3793\/9232\/files\/CC8-1_a1809138-3e2a-48d8-9594-4d8e363a39fe.png?v=1762316723","url":"https:\/\/megamusiconline.com.au\/products\/cc8-austrian-audio-cc8-cardiod-true-condenser-microphone","provider":"Mega Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
