Austrian Audio - OC818 (Studio Set)

The new viennese originalThe Austrian Audio OC818 is engineered and manufactured in Austria and is Austrian Audio’s premier, professional, large diaphragm microphone. Featuring high sensitivity, low self-noise and the ability to handle everything from a whisper to extreme SPLs make it the most advanced microphone for studio, broadcast and live applications. As the unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, any OC818 is match-paired with any other OC818, and when in cardioid mode, it can also be match-paired with any OC18, its affordable, smaller sibling. This studio set comes complete with a pop shield, shock mount and mic clip.
