Hand-built in Vienna, the CC8-SC is a supercardioid, true condenser, small-diaphragm microphone is crafted for professional use both in the studio and on stage. Featuring Austrian Audio’s OCC7 capsule and a Transformerless output, it offers a remarkably linear frequency response and handles extreme SPLs up to 155 dB without distortion. Its low self-noise of just 13 dB(A) ensures exceptional clarity and dynamic range.

The CC8-SC delivers a natural, open sound that remains smooth and balanced even at high volumes, with mids and highs that never become harsh. Its supercardioid pattern isolates the desired sound source, rejecting unwanted side noise from other instruments or monitors—making it perfect as a spot mic in ensemble recordings.

A subtle roll-off in the highs and lows further helps control stage noise and overly bright sources like cymbals and brass. The result is a cleaner signal at the source, which simplifies FOH and monitor mixes and let's sound engineers focus more on the musical details. Combining precise Austrian engineering with a practical design, the CC8-SC is a reliable choice for capturing sound as naturally and faithfully as possible.

CC8-SC SuperCardioid True Condenser Microphone

At the heart of the Austrian Audio CC8-SC microphone lies the OCC7 small-diaphragm condenser capsule. Inspired by the legendary CK1 and re-engineered for modern recording, it combines classic character with contemporary performance — shaped by the past, built for the future.

The OCC7 Supercardioid capsule, paired with a Transformerless output stage, delivers an impressively smooth frequency response with a subtle roll-off in the highs and lows. This ensures a natural, balanced sound while handling extremely high SPLs of up to 155 dB without distortion and maintaining remarkably low self-noise.

Every CC8-SC is individually measured and calibrated at the factory to within ±0.5 dB sensitivity at 1 kHz. This strict precision means any CC8-SC can be seamlessly match paired with another, no matter when it was produced — ensuring consistency and reliability for stereo and ensemble recording setups.

Absolutely in love with this pillow!
Size: King, Size: King
I’m so excited about this purchase — this pillow turned out to be amazing! I’m a side sleeper most of the time, and the way the edges are designed makes it incredibly comfortable and supportive. What really surprised me is that even when I slept on my back (which I normally don’t like), I felt super comfortable. I actually woke up still lying on my back — and that never happens! I know it’s healthier to sleep that way, so I’m really happy about that and hope it becomes a new habit. Before this, I tried a few regular memory foam pillows, but they always felt too firm and my neck would get tired. This one, with the shredded memory foam, is so soft and cozy — it molds perfectly without feeling lumpy. The King size is perfect too — my little Pomeranian loves to rest his tiny head next to mine on the pillow. I don’t know why he does that, but it’s adorable. And I have to mention the packaging — the box was so high-quality and beautifully made that I just couldn’t throw it away. I’m definitely keeping it to store something in. Overall, I’m super happy with this pillow and will be ordering a second one soon. I only got one to test it out, but now I’m totally convinced. Thank you for such an awesome product!

This is Truly the Best Pillow!
Size: Queen
This is the side sleeper version of the best pillow out there. My 26 year old son was always complaining about his pillow and his neck and back hurting. About every year I’d buy him the next “best” pillow promising to be the best but they never worked for him. I read an article saying THIS pillow was the “Goldilocks” of pillows. So since he sleeps in all positions, I got him the regular shaped pillow. The next morning after his first night with the pillow, he came out of his room talking about how wonderful his pillow is. Same thing the next morning. And the next. And the next. Then I thought to myself, my current pillow is the best I’ve had but I’m not in love with it. But I’m a side sleeper so I purchased this particular contoured pillow for me. NOW I UNDERSTOOD WHAT MY SON WAS TALKING ABOUT. I became the person who went on and on about my pillow. Until my husband told me to replace his with one of these side sleeping versions for himself. And he loves it. Then we got a regular pillow (for those who sleep in all positions, but this same company) for our guests. My best friend came to visit, immediately noticed the pillow upgrade from previous visits and when she returned home, she purchased one for herself. This pillow is like a feather pillow except it is filled with tiny squares of memory foam. And it comes with an extra pack of stuffing, so you can add or remove stuffing to customize it perfectly for you. None of us in the house added filling, and my son removed some that came with his pillow. I also sleep with a body pillow and have for years. And I was wishing this came in a body pillow version until I realized I could make my own. I bought a zippered body pillow case. The larger size. I think it was 54 inches long. And I bought a king size pillow and used the extra stuffing pack that came with that pillow along with the 4 packs that came with the other pillows that we didn’t use. Though you could probably do the same thing with two standard size pillows. These pillows are on the expensive side but they go on sale during every holiday. That’s when I purchase them. Oh and my body pillow is HEAVEN. Between that and the pillow, I spend my nights in fluffy cloud goodness.

Not as great as I was hoping.
Size: Queen
I was hoping this was going to be my miracle pillow. I have had terrible neck pain for years. It arrived with too much stuffing. Removed some and it caused terrible occipital headaches. I’ve slowly been adding stuffing, hoping to find the right fit.
