Austrian Audio OC818-STUDIO Large-Diaphragm Condenser Mic w/Spider Mount, Mic Clip, Case

Austrian Audio's premier offering, the OC818, is a multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for studio, live, or broadcast applications. If you're not yet familiar with Austrian Audio, you will be.

No strangers to world-class audio devices, the engineers at Austrian Audio have crafted a high-sensitivity, low self-noise microphone capable of capturing every nuance from a whisper to a scream with no distortion. The dual-diaphragm CKR12 capsule design is so consistent all OC818s can be match paired with any other OC818. Viennese craftsmanship that's so impressive you can even match-pair an OC818 with its smaller sibling, the OC18, with both set to cardioid.

The OC818 Studio Set comes complete with an OC818, spider shock mount, foam windshield, mic clip, mini XLR cable with cable clip, and a hard-shell case. Everything you need to keep your mic safe and the accessories organized.

An optional OCR8 Bluetooth dongle (sold separately) gives you remote control over polar patterns, pads, and high-pass filters via the PolarPilot App for iOS and Android. Plus, a dual output is provided so you can record each diaphragm separately.

Handmade. World-class. From Vienna to you.
