Exciting News! I’ve Joined Austrian Audio’s Friends Page!

I’m thrilled to share that I’ve been added to Austrian Audio’s esteemed Friends page!

This recognition reflects my genuine appreciation for Austrian Audio’s OC7 and OD5 microphones, meticulously crafted tools that align perfectly with my pursuit of top-tier sound.

I’m honored to join the ranks of Austrian Audio’s Friends! Explore my profile on the Friends page here.

Last spring, I had the pleasure of visiting my good friend Joe Barresi at his studio. During that visit, Joe had just received a shipment of mics from Austrian Audio to demo and, knowing my curiosity for new gear, offered me the chance to try them out.

Always eager to explore new sonic possibilities, I picked up a couple of OD5 microphones. Little did I know, these mics would pleasantly surprise me in more ways than one. From the moment I started using them in my next session, I was struck by their robust build, incredible ease of placement, and, most crucially, their sound quality.

Those initial sessions led me down a rabbit hole of exploration. I found myself diving deeper into Austrian Audio’s range, getting my hands on the OC818s, the OC7, and more OD5s. As I continued experimenting with these microphones across drums, guitar, and bass cabinets over the following weeks, I found myself completely sold on their unparalleled performance.

Moreover, Austrian Audio’s groundbreaking use of dual-capsule technology in the OC818 opened new doors for me. The access to the back capsule, allowing separate processing, significantly expanded the sonic horizons. Being able to harness distinct characteristics from each capsule gave me a whole new realm of sonic possibilities, allowing for an unprecedented level of creativity and precision in my recordings.

From their nuanced sound to their effortless adaptability in various recording scenarios, Austrian Audio’s microphones have become an integral part of my personal toolkit. They seamlessly blend top-notch build quality with exceptional sound reproduction, making them an essential choice for capturing the essence of every performance.
