Engineered and manufactured in Austria, The OC818 is Austrian Audio’s premier, professional, large diaphragm microphone. Its high sensitivity, low self-noise and ability to handle everything from a whisper to extreme SPLs make it the most advanced microphone for studio, broadcast and live applications. As the unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, any OC818 is match-paired with any other OC818, and when in cardioid mode, it can also be match-paired with any OC18, its affordable, smaller sibling.
With the OCR8 Bluetooth Adaptor control your OC818 wirelessly from your smart device over Bluetooth via the PolarPilot App, available on IOS and Android. Craft 255 discrete polar patterns and also have real-time, wireless control over your analogue high pass filters and pad. The handy last 60 seconds of audio level monitor/logger enables you to see if there is any clipping so you can adjust on the fly. The OC818 ships with the popular wide cardiod setting, but you can edit with the app, and store your preferred setting in the OC818 for later use without the PolarPilot app.
