Austrian Audio CC8-SC Supercardioid True Condenser Microphone
The CC8-SC brings world-class small-diaphragm performance to any studio or stage. Delivering an exceptionally linear response that reveals every nuance while keeping unwanted noise at bay.
Handcrafted Viennese Excellence
Firstly, at the heart of the CC8-SC is the in-house developed OCC7 capsule, hand-assembled in Vienna to exacting tolerances. Each microphone is factory-measured and calibrated to within ±0.5 dB. Therefore, allowing you to confidently combine any two units for flawless stereo or ensemble capture without the cost of matched pairs.
Uncompromising Sonic Precision
The focused supercardioid pattern offers maximum isolation on stage and in the studio. Meanwhile, the transformerless circuitry preserves transients with pristine transparency. Moreover, a class-leading 13 dB(A) self-noise and the ability to withstand 155 dB SPL provide an immense 132 dB dynamic range. Perfect for everything from delicate strings to explosive drums.
Built for Studio & Stage
A rugged metal body, recessed switches and gold-plated XLR ensure reliability on the road. Selectable pads (-10/-20 dB) safeguard against overload, and two high-pass options (60 Hz, 120 Hz) remove rumble at the source, giving engineers a cleaner signal and greater creative freedom in the mix.
