The Story
Engineered and manufactured in Austria, The OC818 is Austrian Audioâs 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.
Key Features:
- Multiple polar patterns
- Microprocessor control of polarization voltages
- 2 different analog high-pass filters with 3 settings
- 2 different types of analog pads
- Dual out- puts for recording each diaphragm separately
- Debuts Austrian Audioâs Open Acoustics Technology
- Handmade in Vienna, again!
