{"product_id":"austrian-audio-cc8-sc-424948","title":"CC8 SC","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA supercardioid variant designed for demanding situations\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eHandcrafted in Vienna, the CC8-SC follows an approach where capsule precision and electronic quality take precedence above all else. Its calibrated OCC7 capsule and transformerless balanced output aim for maximum transparency, with fast transients and appreciable tonal coherence both in studio and live broadcast.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis supercardioid variant of the CC8 family was designed to maintain a stable image when the environment becomes challenging: proximity to stage monitors, tight setups, acoustic ensembles, or close miking where off-axis rejection makes all the difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eA precise recording microphone for studio, stage, and capture\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CC8-SC is intended for sound engineers, musicians, and creators seeking a pencil microphone capable of \"locking\" onto a source without losing the naturalness of the reproduction. It excels particularly on percussion and drums (overheads, hi-hat), acoustic guitar, piano, strings, winds, and ensembles whenever detail, definition, and bleed control must be balanced.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn stereo, two units facilitate reliable configurations such as \"XY\/ORTF,\" with a precise image and good compatibility in mixing contexts. On stage, its tight directivity secures close-range captures and improves clarity, even near wedges.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eKey features to control the source, dynamics, and low end\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe CC8-SC's supercardioid directivity emphasizes focus while maintaining a musical sound. The discrete transformerless electronics are designed to preserve transient speed and limit distortion, even when acoustic pressure rises significantly.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003eLow-cut filters: clean bass without muddying the mix\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo low-cut positions (60 Hz and 120 Hz, 2nd order slope) allow reduction of rumbles, mic stand vibrations, stage noise, or unwanted proximity effects. In practice, you gain headroom in the low spectrum and a clearer foundation without sacrificing the overall balance of the recording.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch4\u003e-10\/-20 dB pads: headroom before saturation\u003c\/h4\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe -10 dB and -20 dB attenuators expand the usable range on highly dynamic sources: snappy snare, deep toms, close brass, or powerful amplifiers. Combined with a maximum SPL of 155 dB, they help maintain clean downstream conversion with less risk of clipping on the preamp side.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eInstant adaptation\u003c\/strong\u003e: 60\/120 Hz filters and -10\/-20 dB pads to quickly adjust the microphone to the source and acoustics.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eClean signal from the start\u003c\/strong\u003e: 18 mV\/Pa sensitivity and 13 dB SPL(A) residual noise for detailed recordings, easy to EQ and compress.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eUniversal integration\u003c\/strong\u003e: low-consumption 48 V phantom power and 3-pin XLR connectivity to fit most consoles, preamps, and interfaces.\u003c\/li\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eWith a sensitivity of 18 mV\/Pa, the CC8-SC offers a comfortable level without excessively pushing gain, helping to maintain a controlled signal-to-noise ratio. Its consumption below 3 mA on 48 V phantom power facilitates integration into heterogeneous setups, both in studio and live, while keeping a consistent response across the 20 Hz - 20 kHz range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eTechnical specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e@media(max-width:632px){table[data-wb-spec]{display:grid;grid-template-columns:minmax(0,1fr) minmax(0,1fr)}table[data-wb-spec] colgroup{display:none}table[data-wb-spec] tbody,table[data-wb-spec] tr{display:contents}table[data-wb-spec] td{display:block;overflow-wrap:anywhere;grid-row:var(--wb-l);background-color:var(--wb-lb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[data-r]{grid-row:var(--wb-r);background-color:var(--wb-rb)}table[data-wb-spec] td[colspan=\"2\"]{grid-column:1\/-1}table[data-wb-spec] td:empty{display:none}}\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:1;--wb-r:4;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response - start\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 Hz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDirectivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003esupercardioid\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:2;--wb-r:5;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response - end\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eConnection\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eXLR\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:3;--wb-r:6;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCategory\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003estudio microphone\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eBlack\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003ctable data-wb-spec style=\"width:100%;table-layout:fixed\"\u003e\n\u003ccolgroup\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003ccol style=\"width:25%\"\u003e\u003c\/colgroup\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:1;--wb-r:8;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eOCC7, calibrated\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOutput impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e275 ohms (balanced)\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-l:2;--wb-r:9;--wb-lb:transparent;--wb-rb:var(--wb-neutral-50)\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency response\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRecommended load impedance\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003eat least 1 kOhm\u003c\/td\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003ctr style=\"background-color:transparent;--wb-l:3;--wb-r:10;--wb-lb:var(--wb-neutral-50);--wb-rb:transparent\"\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e18 mV\/Pa\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePower supply\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/td\u003e\u003ctd data-r style=\"text-align:left;font-weight:var(--font-body-weight-bolder)\"\u003e48 V (consumption \u0026lt;
