The Austrian Audio OC18 set is a professional large diaphragm condenser microphone with a capsule which is based on the famous CK12 known from a number of studio classics from another "Austrian brand" if you know what we mean!
The microphone is a simple version of the innovative OC818 large-diaphragm condenser microphone. After long research, many test phases and measurements, the characteristics of several originals of the vintage capsule were evaluated, and from the data and experiences obtained, more than just a "copy" was developed.
The handcrafted OC18 shines with its distinctive, transparent sound that performs superbly both in the studio and in loud live environments. On board is a -10 / -20 dB pad, as well as a low cut (0, 40, 80, 160), and more flexibility to respond to loud and unwanted low frequency signals. Includes spider, clip, windshield and case!
