Austrian Audio OCC8-SC

CC8-SC - Sound that hits. Focus that stays.

Austrian Audio has quickly established itself as one of the top international players in the pro audio sector - with uncompromising quality, smart engineering and genuine Viennese craftsmanship. Now comes the next highlight: the CC8-SC, the supercardioid version of the acclaimed CC8 small diaphragm condenser microphone.

At the heart of the CC8-SC beats the OCC7 capsule - an acoustic masterpiece developed and manufactured in-house that reproduces even the finest dynamic details and subtle nuances with the utmost precision. This high-end capsule delivers a sound that is clear, natural and uncompromising. The supercardioid polar pattern makes the CC8-SC the ideal microphone for challenging recording and live settings: absolute focus on the source, while unwanted background noise, room ambience or crosstalk are drastically reduced. Whether studio, stage, podcast or video set - this microphone isolates what counts.

With an impressive limiting sound pressure level of up to 155 dB SPL and extremely low self-noise of 13 dB(A), the CC8-SC feels right at home in front of even the loudest sources such as snare, timpani, brass or amp. It always retains full fidelity - without any distortion, artificial harshness or colouration. The carefully tuned frequency response with a slight drop in the highs and lows gives the microphone its pleasant and balanced musical character: the highs sound gentle, never sharp or overemphasised - perfect for acoustic instruments, percussion and complex arrangements.

Practical features such as a low-cut filter and pad switching make the CC8-SC a flexible all-rounder. Whether for reducing impact sound, proximity effects or for adapting to extremely loud sound sources - this microphone adapts to any recording situation. It also delivers professional results as a boom mic in a broadcast setup or for content creation - focussed, low-noise and controllable.

All this is packed into an extremely robust, roadworthy housing - classic in look, modern in handling. Handmade and tested in Vienna for maximum reliability. Not a plastic toy, but a real pro tool, built for tough everyday use in the studio and on stage.
