Austrian Audio – OC818 Studio Pack
Large diaphragm condenser microphone with multi pattern.
Designed and manufactured in Austria, the OC818 is Austrian Audio’s premier professional large-diaphragm studio microphone . Its high sensitivity, low self-noise and the ability to handle everything from whispers to extreme SPLs make it the most advanced microphone for studio, broadcast and live applications. Because the unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, any OC818 can be paired with any other OC818, and in cardioid mode it can also be paired with any Australian audio OC18 studio microphone , its affordable, smaller sibling.
