Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set Plus Black – dual set, black, premium microphone, versatile use

The Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set Plus Black is a premium matched pair of large-diaphragm condenser microphones, handcrafted in Vienna. Each microphone features a handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule, offering exceptional sensitivity and low self-noise, making them ideal for studio, broadcast, and live applications. The microphones provide four selectable polar patterns—cardioid, supercardioid, omnidirectional, and figure-8—with a fifth "preset mode" that defaults to wide cardioid but can be customized using the optional PolarPilot app and OCR8 Bluetooth dongle. This setup allows for real-time remote control of polar patterns, high-pass filters, and pad settings via the app. The OC818 microphones feature dual outputs: a 3-pin XLR main output and a 5-pin mini-XLR secondary output, enabling advanced stereo recording techniques such as Mid-Side, Blumlein, and ORTF. The Dual Set Plus package includes two OC818 microphones, two OCS8 spider mounts, two OCH8 microphone clips, two OCW8 foam windshields, two OCC8 mini XLR cables, an SB1 stereo bar, and an OCDC1 protective carry case, providing a comprehensive solution for high-quality stereo recordings.
