Capsule Production – Part 3 🎤 Jenny assembles the #OC18 — from mounting the circuit board to soldering the capsule. Every detail is handcrafted right here in Vienna, with precision and care. And yes, she makes it look way easier than it is. #AustrianAudio #BehindTheScenes #OC18

Your hand isn’t part of the band — so don’t let it play the mic! 🎤 Hold your handheld mic by the handle, not the grille. Covering the head (“cupping”) can add unwanted resonances, change your tone, and invite feedback to the party. #AustrianAudio #MicTips #LiveVocals

Capsule Production – Part 2 🎤 This is where it all comes together: Our team hand-assembles the heart of every condenser mic. Whether large or small diaphragm, it’s all about precision, balance, and that signature #AustrianAudio sound. 💡 Next: full OC18 assembly—stay tuned!

Mic’ing vocals on stage with the #OD505: The right mic placement and pattern can make all the difference. Hold close for detail, not too close to avoid pops. Cardioid focus = less bleed. Active output = stand out on loud stages. Wired or wireless — freedom to perform. #MicTips

Curious about how an #AustrianAudio microphone comes to life? It all starts here in Vienna, where our talented team carefully crafts each capsule by hand. 🎤✨ Go behind the scenes with Jenny as she takes you through the production process from start to finish. Don’t miss Part 2!

No studio? No problem. 🎷 Watch Stiffler lay down smooth saxophone lines using just our #MiCreator microphone, a smartphone, and a couple of cables. With the mic positioned just above the bell, he's getting crisp, clear takes – perfect for solos on the go. #AustrianAudio

🎻 Mic’ing a double bass with the #OC818: Place in front of the bridge for depth & detail, or near the F-hole for more low end. Cardioid = focus, omni = full resonance. Angle to avoid reflections. #AustrianAudio #MicTips

“What even is phantom power?” No, it’s not ghost energy. 👻 It’s the secret sauce behind your condenser mic’s crystal-clear sound. We'll break down what phantom power actually is, why your mic might be silently screaming for it, and how to know if you’re using it right. #MicTips

Drum Miking 101 🥁🎙️ Big drum sound = smart mic placement. → Kick: mic inside = punch, outside = boom → Snare: top = crack, bottom = sizzle (flip polarity!) → Overheads: capture cymbals and the kit → Room: a pair of condensers = instant vibe 👉 More mics ≠ better.
