Built for the stage with the polished tone of a studio mic, the Austrian Audio OD505 gives you what you want where you want it. Designed around the handmade ODC50 dual capsule and a specially engineered 3D Pop Noise Diffuser, it delivers the vocal clarity and presence that cuts through a live mix, no harsh, no brittle. It captures all the energy and expression of a live vocal performance while keeping bleed, plosives, and feedback under control, so your capture stays true even when things get squirrely.

With active circuitry under the hood, the OD505 gives your signal a healthy 6 to 8dB boost, ideal for long cable runs or pushing through dense stage mixes without cranking your gain. Its condenser-like sensitivity (4.4 mV/Pa) means it picks up every detail of every performance, while the passive lower capsule helps reduce handling noise without dulling the sound. If you're using Shure wireless, the OD505 WL1 capsule head (sold separately) brings that same powerful sound to your existing rig, giving you a direct upgrade without reinventing your whole setup.
