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.

  • Capsule: CKR6 true condenser ceramic capsule, handmade in Austria
  • Polar Pattern: Cardioid
  • Frequency Response: 20 Hz – 20 kHz
  • Self-Noise: 13 dB(A)
  • Max SPL: 148 dB (0.5% THD)
  • Power: 48V phantom power required
  • Applications: Drum overheads, acoustic guitar, piano, orchestral instruments, choir

The CC8's compact form factor and robust all-metal construction make it equally at home in permanent installed sound systems, broadcast facilities, and touring rigs. Its open, natural sonic character and reliable performance under demanding conditions make it an essential tool for engineers who refuse to compromise on capture quality.
