NAMM 2022: The new OD303 isn’t Austrian Audio’s flagship microphone, but with a price of just $119/£89/€99, this new dynamic vocal mic could be one of its most compelling.
Promising a powerful, well-balanced and open sound that’s said to be “unparalleled in this price range”, the OD303 has also been designed with longevity in mind. In fact, we’re told that its die-cast housing makes it almost indestructible.
The OD303 features Austrian Audio’s Open Acoustic technology - this is said to deliver an optimally-shaped super-cardioid polar pattern across a wide frequency band and with excellent feedback stability.
The 3D Pop Noise Diffuser, meanwhile, is on hand to reduce plosive sounds such as T and P.
