DESCRIPTION

−

Austrian Audio delivers a masterclass in precision engineering with the OC818 Dual Set, featuring two matched large-diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphones in a striking black finish. Built around the handcrafted CKR12 ceramic capsule — a modern evolution of legendary Viennese capsule design — each OC818 delivers exceptional detail, transparency, and musicality across the full frequency spectrum.

The OC818 offers switchable polar patterns (cardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-of-eight) directly on the microphone body, with the ability to unlock continuous polar pattern control via the optional OCR8 Bluetooth module and the powerful PolarDesigner plug-in. This Open Acoustics Technology allows engineers to capture all directional information simultaneously and reshape the polar pattern in post-production — a game-changing workflow advantage for critical recording and broadcast applications.

  • Matched pair of OC818 microphones — ideal for stereo, room, and overhead applications
  • CKR12 handmade ceramic capsule with outstanding transient response
  • Multi-pattern operation with three selectable patterns on-body
  • Ultra-high SPL handling: 158 dB maximum
  • Exceptionally low self-noise: 13 dB(A)
  • Open Acoustics Technology for post-production polar pattern control
  • Includes two spider mounts, windscreens, and premium carrying case

Whether deployed for orchestral recording, drum overheads, studio vocals, or high-fidelity broadcast capture, the OC818 Dual Set provides uncompromising performance trusted by audio professionals worldwide.
