DESCRIPTION
Austrian Audio continues the legacy of Viennese microphone engineering with the CC8, a small-diaphragm true condenser microphone built around the handcrafted CKR6 ceramic capsule. Designed and manufactured in Vienna, the CC8 delivers the pristine transient response and tonal accuracy that discerning audio professionals demand.
The cardioid polar pattern provides excellent off-axis rejection, making the CC8 an outstanding choice for close-miking instruments in both studio and live sound environments. With a self-noise of just 13 dB(A) and a maximum SPL handling of 148 dB, this microphone offers exceptional dynamic range suited to everything from delicate acoustic sources to high-SPL percussion.
