DESCRIPTION

−

Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set — a matched pair of large-diaphragm condenser microphones in a sleek black finish, purpose-built for demanding studio and live sound applications where sonic accuracy and flexibility are paramount.

At the heart of each OC818 lies the handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule, developed and manufactured in Vienna by the former AKG engineering team. This capsule delivers exceptional transient response, ultra-low self-noise of just 13 dB(A), and an impressive maximum SPL handling of 158 dB — making it equally at home on delicate acoustic sources and high-energy sound stages.

  • Open Acoustics Technology: Record the full capsule output and reshape the polar pattern in post-production using the free PolarDesigner plug-in
  • Multiple polar patterns: Switchable on-body between cardioid, figure-8, and omnidirectional, plus continuous adjustment via software
  • Switchable high-pass filter: 80 Hz or 160 Hz at 12 dB/octave
  • Dual attenuation pad: -10 dB and -20 dB settings for high-SPL sources
  • Clipping history LED: Visual confirmation of signal integrity during tracking or sound checks
  • Matched pair: Factory-selected for precise stereo imaging — ideal for drum overheads, orchestral capture, and room miking

Supplied with two spider-type shock mounts and a sturdy carrying case, this Austrian Audio dual set delivers world-class performance for professionals who demand complete control over their sound, from tracking through to final mix.
