Product Description
The OC-S10 is a reference-grade large-diaphragm condenser microphone, expertly engineered for capturing vocals and solo instruments with unrivalled clarity and nuance. With its five selectable polar patterns, omni, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure of eight, the OC-S10 adapts to virtually any studio or live environment. The microphone's precision tuning and extended frequency range of 20 Hz to 22 kHz ensure an accurate and natural sound image, making it a favourite among discerning audio professionals.
Offering outstanding flexibility, the OC-S10 includes a dual XLR output, allowing for creative dual-pattern recording and expanded post-production options. Three selectable low-cut filters and two levels of attenuation pads (-10 dB and -20 dB) give engineers the tools to tailor response in any acoustic scenario. Supplied with a precision ball-joint shock mount, magnetic frameless pop filter, and presented in a sleek wooden box inside a rugged black hard case, this microphone combines elegant design with professional-grade functionality.
Key Features:
- Selectable Polar Patterns:
Easily switch between omni, cardioid, wide cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure of eight for full control over directional sound capture. - Dual XLR Outputs:
Record two different polar patterns simultaneously or split signals for detailed post-production flexibility and spatial control. - Integrated Filtration and Attenuation:
Three low-cut filter settings and two pad options allow precise control over proximity effect, low-end rumble, and loud sources.
Studio Ready Design:
Crafted for professionals, the OC-S10 is perfect for recording sessions requiring detailed vocal and instrumental capture. The robust construction, low self-noise of just 8 dB SPL (A), and remarkable sensitivity at 14 mV/Pa allow the microphone to pick up every detail with stunning accuracy. Whether used in a solo setup or as part of a stereo array, it delivers consistent performance across a wide dynamic range.
Flexible Mounting and Acoustic Control:
The included OCSM10 shock mount features a ball-joint connector, enabling effortless positioning in tight studio spaces. This thoughtful design ensures optimum isolation and minimal handling noise. Additionally, the OCPF10 pop filter magnetically attaches to the microphone without a bulky frame, maintaining clear visibility and consistent airflow diffusion to protect against plosives while maintaining tonal balance.
Built for Creative Workflows:
Engineers and producers will appreciate the OC-S10’s practical touches such as its symmetrical 108 ohm output impedance and stable 48 V phantom power requirement. These specifications ensure seamless integration with modern studio interfaces and preamps. Whether recording powerful vocal performances or delicate acoustic passages, the OC-S10 is an indispensable tool for precise and expressive sound production.
