Austrian Audio's OC18 brings classic cardioid large-diaphragm sound to your projects while leaving your budget intact. Not just a great mic for the money, but a great mic, period. 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 single diaphragm CKR6 capsule design is so consistent that any OC18 can be match paired with any other OC18. Viennese craftsmanship that's so impressive you can even match-pair an OC18 with its larger sibling, the OC818, with both set to cardioid.

The OC18 Studio Set comes complete with an OC18, spider shock mount, foam windshield, mic clip, and hard-shell case. Everything you need to keep your mic safe and accessories organized.
