About: Austrian Audio OC818 Studio Set - Black

Engineered and manufactured in Austria, The OC818 is Austrian Audio’s premier, professional, large diaphragm microphone. Its high sensitivity, low self-noise and ability to handle everything from a whisper to extreme SPLs make it the most advanced microphone for studio, broadcast and live applications. As the unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, any OC818 is match-paired with any other OC818, and when in cardioid mode, it can also be match-paired with any OC18, its affordable, smaller sibling.

  • Handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule - Made to the same critical dimensions as the classic CK12 capsules
  • Multiple polar patterns - Cardioid, omnidirectional & custom programmable
  • Microprocessor control of polarisation voltages - Allows remote controlled polar pattern settings
  • Two different analogue high-pass filters with three settings - 40 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz
  • Two different types of analogue pads - -10 dB, -20 dB
  • Dual outputs - for recording each diaphragm separately
