Description

The Austrian Audio OC-S10 is a flagship large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed to capture vocals and solo instruments with outstanding clarity, depth, and precision. Handcrafted in Vienna, it combines Austrian Audio's CKR12 true condenser capsule with an open acoustic design to deliver an exceptionally natural, transparent sound that faithfully reproduces every detail of a performance. Five selectable polar patterns, switchable low-cut filters, and input pads provide the flexibility to adapt to a wide range of recording environments, from intimate vocal sessions to demanding acoustic instrument recordings. 

A defining feature of the OC-S10 is its innovative dual-output capability, allowing the front and rear capsule signals to be recorded independently for unmatched creative control. This unique design lets users adjust polar patterns, proximity effect, room ambience, and even create stereo recordings during post production using Austrian Audio's PolarDesigner and StereoCreator software, while a conventional single-output mode offers fast access to the microphone's five onboard pickup patterns. With its fully discrete signal path, integrated acoustic controls, and precision engineering, the OC-S10 is an exceptional choice for professional studios, broadcast, and critical recording applications where accuracy and versatility are essential.
