AustrianAudio Austrian Audio OC818 Studio Set - Condenser Microphones

When former AKG designers founded their own company, Austrian Audio, in the summer of 2017, they set an ambitious goal to bring high-end audio technology back to the Austrian capital, Vienna. The dual-capsule Austrian Audio OC818 is an extremely sensitive, low-noise condenser microphone with a freely selectable polar pattern.

The unique ceramic CKR12 capsule of the large-diaphragm OC818 microphone is based on the best-measured specimens of the legendary AKG CK12 capsule, which is familiar from both the tube microphone C12 and the newer C414 models. All Austrian Audio OC18 and OC818 microphones are equal in power with a precision of one decibel, allowing them to be used in stereo pairs and grouped together. The microphones are completely analog in signal path.

However, the true novelty is the remote controllability of the dual-capsule OC818 microphone and the use of the single-capsule OC18 model in various combinations with it. The Polarpilot and Polardesigner applications, along with the OCR8 Bluetooth controller, allow for the customization of microphones for any given need and space in a completely new way. When using the PolarDesigner and OCR818 microphone, the final polar pattern can even be finalized during the final mix.
