Unrivalled Versatility and Control The OC-S10 caters to a wide range of recording scenarios, making it ideal for lead vocals and solo instruments. Its five selectable polar patterns—omnidirectional, wide cardioid, cardioid, hypercardioid, and figure-of-eight—ensure precision capture of sound tailored to specific requirements. With three analogue low-cut filter options at 40Hz, 80Hz, and 160Hz, users can effectively manage low-frequency rumble and unwanted noise. The switchable -10dB and -20dB pads provide greater headroom, allowing the microphone to handle sound pressure levels up to 157 dB SPL without distortion, making it a powerful choice for dynamic and high-volume performances. Innovative Dual-Output Design The dual-output system, utilising two standard XLR connectors, offers unmatched post-production flexibility. This feature allows sound engineers to capture two simultaneous signal paths, enabling greater creative freedom during mixing and mastering. Whether fine-tuning the sound for a pristine vocal track or balancing complex instrumentals, the OC-S10 ensures seamless adaptability to professional workflows. Advanced Accessories for Optimal Performance The OC-S10 comes equipped with a shock mount featuring a ball-joint connection that allows for precise microphone positioning with ease. This design reduces handling noise and ensures accurate placement for optimal sound capture. A magnetically attached metal mesh filter, designed to eliminate plosives while maintaining the integrity and richness of the vocal spectrum, further enhances the microphone's performance.
