Austrian Audio OC18 Studio Set

Pure Precision

The OC18 Cardioid Pattern Precision Microphone Studio Set is engineered and manufactured in Austria, Vienna. Its high sensitivity and low self-noise means it can handle everything from a whisper to extreme SPLs without distortion, making it the perfect choice for studio, live and broadcast applications.  

Austrian Audio's unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, that the OC18 can be match-paired with any other OC18 or paired perfectly with the larger OC818 when set in cardioid mode.

Superior Performance
At the heart of every Austrian Audio, OC18 Mic is the handcrafted CKR6 ceramic capsule for superior results. In keeping with a fixed cardioid polar pattern, the OC18 uses the single-diaphragm version of the CKR12 capsule, which — in concert with the microphone’s custom electronic circuitry — delivers excellent results when used for vocals, acoustic guitar, piano, drum overheads, strings, brass, percussion, and room capture.

What’s more, the OC18’s robust, native 148dB maximum SPL capability — further increased by the inclusion of selectable -10dB and -20dB pads — also makes it ideal for louder sources such as tom toms and electric guitar cabinets.
