A True Austrian Engineered Condenser for Vocals, Instruments & Beyond

The Austrian Audio OC16 StudioSet is a versatile large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphone bundled with all the essential accessories for studio and stage use. Featuring Austrian Audio’s acclaimed CKR6 ceramic capsule and Open Acoustics technology, the OC16 delivers transparent, natural sound with exceptional detail.

With a high SPL handling of up to 148 dB and impressively low self-noise of 11 dB(A), this microphone captures everything from delicate vocals to thunderous drums with ease. The included elastic shock mount, standard mic clip, and sturdy carry case make the StudioSet a ready-to-go package for recording engineers, musicians, and creators.

Open Acoustics Technology
At the heart of the OC16 is Austrian Audio’s innovative Open Acoustics design. This engineering breakthrough minimises internal reflections within the microphone body, ensuring a clear, transparent signal path. The result is a natural, uncolored sound that faithfully captures the source without compromise.

CKR6 Ceramic Capsule
The OC16 features the handcrafted CKR6 large-diaphragm capsule, built in Vienna with cutting-edge ceramic materials. Unlike traditional plastics, ceramics are highly stable and resistant to environmental changes, delivering consistent performance and longevity. This capsule design is directly derived from Austrian Audio’s flagship microphones.

High SPL Handling & Low Noise
Engineered for versatility, the OC16 handles sound pressure levels up to 148 dB while maintaining an impressively low self-noise of just 11 dB(A). This balance makes it equally effective for delicate acoustic instruments and powerful sources such as drums and amplifiers.

Precision Filters
A switchable low-cut filter at 40 Hz and 160 Hz provides precise control over rumble, handling noise, and proximity effect. This simple but effective technology ensures clean recordings in both studio and live environments.
