Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set Plus - Large Diaphragm Condenser Microphone (Matched Pair, Black)

OC818 Dual Set Black

Handcrafted in Vienna, the City of Music, the Austrian Audio OC818 is a revolutionary multi-pattern, dual-output large-diaphragm condenser microphone with optional wireless control. Onboard, the OC818 offers a choice of four selectable polar patterns, 10dB and 20dB pads, and three switchable highpass filters. But with Austrian Audio’s open-source PolarDesigner plug-in (Mac and Windows), you can craft custom polar patterns for up to five different frequency bands. Plus, the PolarPilot mobile app (iOS, Android) gives you real-time wireless remote control over the polar patterns, the highpass filter, and the pad settings via the optional OCR8 Bluetooth dongle. Note that the OC818 is always operating and mode switching purely in the analog domain; it’s only the analog bias voltages that are being governed remotely. There is no digital signal in either the audio or bias paths. Giving you the best of both worlds, the Austrian Audio OC818 is a sophisticated tool that will surely help you make better-sounding recordings.
