Active circuitry powered by 48V phantom raises the front capsule's output to 4.4 mV\/Pa — nearly condenser-level — while keeping the heavy die-cast body typical of stage mics. A supercardioid pattern and a 35 Hz–16 kHz frequency range give a maximum SPL of 154 dB.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eA second capsule as a handling-noise canceller\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA common problem with handheld mics: a vocalist gripping the mic during a performance generates handling noise and transmitted vibration straight into the capsule. The OD505 solves this with a passive lower capsule wired in reverse polarity relative to the main capsule — both pick up handling noise equally, but summing the two signals cancels it out, while the wanted vocal signal is captured almost exclusively by the active front capsule. The result is noticeably lower handling noise without reaching for extra noise gates on the console.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eConsistent output level regardless of cable length\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eClassic high-impedance dynamic mics lose high frequencies and signal level over long cable runs, a real issue on large stages with a distant FOH position. The OD505's active electronics compensate for this, delivering a stable output level regardless of preamp input impedance or cable length — a 6-8 dB gain boost over a standard dynamic mic means the signal stays consistent from soundcheck through the last song of the set, without manual gain riding between positions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eKEY FEATURES\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eActive dynamic microphone with a dual ODC50 capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSupercardioid pattern with strong off-axis rejection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReverse-polarity passive rear capsule reducing handling noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e3D Pop Noise Diffuser reducing plosives without dulling the top end\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSwitchable 120 Hz high-pass filter (2nd order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e6-8 dB output gain over a standard dynamic microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRugged die-cast body with a steel protective grille\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e48V phantom power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eTECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eType: active dynamic, dual capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePolar pattern: supercardioid\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFrequency range: 35 Hz - 16 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSensitivity: 4.4 mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMaximum SPL: 154 dB SPL\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow cut filter: 120 Hz (2nd order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLoad impedance: \u0026gt;1 kΩ\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower: 48V phantom (\u0026lt;1 mA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConnector: 3-pin XLR\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Austrian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":54332663333201,"sku":"59233","price":0.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0729\/8741\/0769\/files\/AustrianAudioOD5051.jpg?v=1784209496","url":"https:\/\/wrdtunes.com\/fr\/products\/austrian-audio-od505","provider":"Wired Tunes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
