By using industrial-grade ceramics instead of brass, Austrian Audio ensures extreme consistency between every unit. For the user, this means every OC818 is factory-matched within 1dB, allowing you to add a second microphone at any time for a perfect stereo pair without the need for bespoke matched sets.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRevolutionary Dual Output Technology\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eUnlike traditional microphones, the OC818 features a second output on its rear, providing independent signals for both the front and back diaphragms. This innovation allows you to record two separate tracks and shape the polar pattern in post-production using the free PolarDesigner plugin. You can even set different polar patterns for up to five frequency bands, enabling you to \"design\" the microphone’s response to suit your specific room and source after the recording is finished.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eModern Wireless Workflow\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhile the signal path remains 100% analogue, the OC818 incorporates microprocessor-controlled polarisation voltages. When used with the optional OCR8 Bluetooth dongle, you can remotely adjust polar patterns, high-pass filters, and pads from your mobile device via the PolarPilot app. This is an essential workflow benefit for engineers working in high-ceiling environments or hard-to-reach positions where manual adjustments are impossible.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMain features:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandmade CKR12 dual-diaphragm ceramic capsule inspired by legendary Viennese engineering\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual outputs for independent recording of each diaphragm for total post-production control\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMultiple onboard polar patterns: omnidirectional, cardioid, supercardioid, and figure-of-eight\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFactory matched to within 1dB for immediate or future stereo pairing with any other OC818 unit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree switchable analog high-pass filters including 40Hz, 80Hz, and 160Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo-stage level pads (-10dB and -20dB) allow the mic to handle sound pressure levels up to 158dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Acoustics Technology reduces internal reflections and standing waves for a pure, natural sound\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDigitally controlled analogue circuitry for precise, repeatable settings and remote adjustments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e2x OC818 Large-Diaphragm Condenser Microphones (Silver finish)\u003cbr\u003e2x OCC8 Mini XLR cables\u003cbr\u003e2x OCH8 microphone clamps\u003cbr\u003e2x OCW8 windscreens\u003cbr\u003e1x Soft carry case\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTech Specs:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMicrophone Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Large-diaphragm condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar Patterns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Omni, Cardioid, Supercardioid, Figure-8, Custom\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency Range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz – 20,000 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent Noise Level:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 dB SPL (A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 148 dB (158 dB with Pad engaged)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow Cut Filters:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 Hz, 80 Hz (2nd order), 160 Hz (1st order)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAnalogue Pads:\u003c\/strong\u003e -10 dB, -20 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Impedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 275 Ohms (balanced, 2x)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower Requirement:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48V Phantom Power\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR (Main), 5-pin Mini XLR (Rear membrane\/remote)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 157 mm x 63 mm x 35 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eExplore Austrian Audio Premium Microphones:\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003ca rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Explore Austrian Audio Premium Microphones\" href=\"https:\/\/austrian.audio\/product\/oc818-dual-set-go\/\" target=\"_blank\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(43, 0, 255);\"\u003ehttps:\/\/austrian.audio\/product\/oc818-dual-set-go\/\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/a\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Austrian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51184624795684,"sku":"ADSRS_OC818DUALSETGO","price":42750.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0984\/8294\/files\/ADSRS_OC818DUALSETGOIMG01.png?v=1785227772","url":"https:\/\/www.audiosaurus.co.za\/products\/austrian-audio-oc818-dual-set-go-silver-nickel","provider":"Audiosaurus ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
