Key Features

 

  • For Vocals/Instruments in Studio & Stage
  • 5-Position Polar Pattern Switch
  • Handmade Dual-Diaphragm Capsule
  • Per-Diaphragm Output Connectors
  • Selectable Pad at -10 or -20 dB
  • Selectable 40/80/160 Hz High-Pass Filter
  • Design Custom Polar Patterns via Plug-In
  • Allows Wireless Remote Control via OCR8
  • Includes Shockmount, Case & Accessories
  • 48V Phantom Powered


Overview

Designed by a team of former AKG personnel, the black Austrian Audio OC818 Studio Set is a large-diaphragm studio condenser microphone, offering detailed audio capture and immense sonic customization for producers and engineers in personal and commercial recording facilities. The handmade 1" ceramic capsule features two gold-plated polymer membranes to enable multiple polar patterns. Utilize the 5-position switch to set the OC818 to figure-8, hypercardioid, cardioid, omnidirectional, or wide cardioid. Each diaphragm is routed to a separate output connector for dual-channel recording, which allows you to design custom polar pattern responses across five frequency bands via the open-source PolarDesigner plug-in or achieve a tweakable stereo image thanks to the StereoCreator plug-in (also open-source). The black finish is designed for light-critical broadcast applications on stage, where subtle finishes are needed.
