Austrian Audio CC8 stereo set - condenser microphone.

Created, designed, and manufactured in Vienna, the CC8 is built using a small diaphragm, handcrafted condenser capsule. The maximum SPL is 156 dB, and the equivalent noise level is 16 dB(A), making it feature the best dynamic range in its class. Due to its robust construction and impeccable performance, it is ideal for situations where a high sound pressure level is required on stage, such as for cymbals and overheads, but also for strings and other low-dynamic acoustic instruments, classical ensembles, and choirs recording in various fields, including live performances, broadcasts, and studio recordings. Inspired by legends and advanced for the modern recording engineer, the CC8 boasts a linear frequency response and naturalness, with an open sound. Other features of the CC8 include: - Each microphone instantly matches any other CC8 model due to factory calibration (+/-0.5 dB @ 1 kHz) - Best-in-class off-axis response - True condenser technology - Transformerless design - Classic sound using modern technologies - Cardioid polar pattern - Metal housing, grille, and mesh - Switchable high-frequency filter - Pads (0, -10 dB, -20 dB), allowing capture of sound up to 156 dB Package contents: 2 x CC8 microphones 2 x OCH8 18 mm microphone holders 2 x CCW8 microphone windshields 1 x SB1 stereo bar 1 x carrying case Specifications: Polar pattern: cardioid Frequency range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz Sensitivity: 15 mV/Pa Self-noise: 16 dB SPL (A) Max.
