CC8-SC – Supercardioid True Condenser Microphone with Low Self-Noise and High SPL Handling
The CC8-SC is a supercardioid small-diaphragm condenser microphone from Austrian Audio, designed for demanding studio and live applications. It features the OCC7 capsule and a transformerless circuit for transparent, natural sound with linear frequency response and minimal self-noise.
Overview and Features
The CC8-SC delivers crystal-clear recordings even at extreme sound pressure levels thanks to a low self-noise of 13 dB(A) and maximum SPL handling of 155 dB. The supercardioid pickup pattern isolates the source effectively while minimizing bleed from surrounding instruments. Subtle high- and low-end roll-offs reduce unwanted overtones and stage noise at the source.
Construction and Materials/Components
The microphone is built with the OCC7 small-diaphragm capsule, manufactured in-house in Vienna. The transformerless circuit design provides linear and transparent sound reproduction. The housing is robust, suitable for both studio and live use.
