Austrian Audio OC818 Studio Set
The OC818 Is a premium-grade studio mic featuring a multi-pattern, dual output design.
At the heart of the microphone is a handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule. This custom edge-terminated capsule is hand-built in Vienna, delivering exceptional sonic clarity and an extended frequency range with dual outputs that allow you to record each diaphragm separately, as well as two analogue filters and two attenuation pads.
The PolarPilot app allows wireless control over the analogue signal in real time, with the ability to save and recall settings. PolarDesigner plugin provides more control with 1-5 crossover bands.
The Limited Edition Launch Set includes OC818 Mic, Spider Mount, Pop Shield, Mini XLR Cable, Mic Clip And Case.

- 60 second OC818 clipping monitor/logger
- Wireless control from the comfort of your chair!
