The Austrian Audio OD5 is a performance-ready dynamic mic that brings clarity, punch, and adaptability to your live and studio audio capture. Built around the company’s active dynamic technology and the same ODC50 capsule found in their flagship models, the OD5 delivers detailed, noise-free sound with impressive SPL tolerance and tons of headroom so slap it on that kick, Ampeg SVT-driven 8 x 10 cab, or screaming Plexi then sit back and smile. The cardioid pattern and active circuitry help keep things focused and clean, even when you're running long cables or dealing with loud sources.

One of the OD5’s most useful features is its 220º swivel mount, which makes mic placement less of a chore and more of a precision move, drummers, were looking at you. The low-cut filter and -10 dB pad give you extra control at the front end so you can tailor your capture to the application. Housed in a tough, road-ready metal chassis and handmade in Vienna, this mic’s ready to take on years of studio sessions, tours, and however many times someone yells, “Hey, can we try that again, but different?”
