DESCRIPTION

−

Austrian Audio continues the Viennese tradition of precision microphone engineering with the OC818 Dual Set, delivering a matched pair of large-diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphones ideal for professional stereo recording, orchestral capture, and critical studio applications.

At the heart of each OC818 lies the handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule — a modern evolution of the legendary CK12 design — manufactured in Vienna with exacting tolerances. The result is extraordinary detail, natural transient response, and a refined tonal character that excels on virtually any source.

  • Multiple polar patterns: Selectable cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional modes directly on the microphone body
  • Dual output mode: Secondary XLR output captures the rear capsule signal independently for full polar pattern control in post-production via the free PolarDesigner plug-in
  • Exceptional dynamic range: 158 dB max SPL handling with ultra-low 13 dBA self-noise
  • Switchable pad and high-pass filter: -10 dB / -20 dB pad and 40 Hz / 80 Hz / 160 Hz HPF
  • Matched pair: Factory-selected for consistent stereo imaging and phase coherence

The Dual Set includes two OC818 microphones in silver finish, dual spider shock mounts, windscreens, and a premium carry case. Whether deployed for drum overheads, piano, ambient room capture, or broadcast, this matched pair delivers the precision and flexibility that discerning audio professionals demand.
