CC8 Matched Pair

The Austrian Audio CC8 Stereo Set offers a perfectly matched pair of small-diaphragm condenser microphones, meticulously crafted for accurate stereo recording. Built around the newly developed OCC7 condenser capsule, inspired by the legendary CK1, these microphones deliver pristine clarity, lightning-fast transient response, and a remarkably linear frequency profile.

Every CC8 undergoes rigorous testing and is factory-calibrated to within ±0.5 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz, guaranteeing seamless stereo performance. This ensures both phase coherence and tonal balance, whether recording drum overheads, choirs, string ensembles, piano, or acoustic instruments.

High SPL

With their transformerless output design and extreme SPL handling of up to 156 dB without distortion, the CC8 Stereo Set adapts effortlessly from subtle dynamics to the most demanding high-volume sources. The set also includes switchable high-pass filters and pad options (-10 dB, -20 dB), making them as versatile in the studio as they are on stage.

Compact, durable, and engineered with Austrian Audio’s renowned precision, the CC8 Stereo Set is the ultimate choice for professional stereo recording applications.
