Description

Hand-built in Vienna with meticulous attention to detail, the Austrian Audio CC8 cardioid small-diaphragm true condenser microphone represents the perfect marriage of classic sonic heritage and cutting-edge engineering. At its core lies the newly-developed OCC7 small-diaphragm condenser capsule, drawing inspiration from the legendary CK1 design whilst incorporating modern innovations to meet today's demanding recording standards.

The CC8's transformerless output and OCC7 capsule work together to produce a remarkably linear frequency response, capable of handling extreme sound pressure levels up to 156 dB without distortion. This exceptional headroom allows the microphone to maintain its natural, open character even at high volumes, with silky smooth mids and highs that never become harsh or exaggerated.

This sonic precision makes the CC8 particularly well-suited for capturing the nuanced details of acoustic instruments including strings, woodwinds, brass, and orchestral percussion. It also excels when recording acoustic guitar, piano, snare drums, hi-hats, and complete drum kits, providing professional results across a wide range of applications.

Each CC8 undergoes rigorous factory testing, with sensitivity measured to within +/- 0.5 dB tolerance at 1 kHz. This precise calibration ensures that any CC8 microphone can be perfectly matched with another for stereo recording applications, regardless of when they were manufactured.
