OC818 Microphone, Spider mount, Mini XLR, Mic Clip, Windshield, Case

Austrian Audio OC818 is a multipattern studio microphone with a few extra tricks under the hood.

The handcrafted CKR12 capsule has years of experience crammed in to its design and construction. Manufactured to strict tolerances in Vienna, each microphone has been meticulously prepared for stunning results in your session.

Aside from being a multipattern large diaphragm condenser, with a few high pass filters and pad settings, the first thing you’ll notice is the sound. The engineers at Austrian Audio have mixed large lashings of truth, with a swirl of taste, to create a classic microphone that will be comfortable as your go-to vocal microphone, and equally happy for orchestral applications.

And then there’s the dual output…

If you flip around to the back of the microphone, there’s a mini-XLR connector. Use the included adapter cable in here, and you’ve got a second output. Once you combine this with the open-source POLARDESIGNER plug-in, and you can really start to play with your mix. Nose-to-nose Fig-8 recorded vocals can become left/right hard panned, or anywhere inbetween. POLARDESIGNER allows you to craft different polar pattern responses across 1-5 crossover bands. As soon as you use it, you’ll ‘get it’.

Or use the bluetooth OCR8 remote

If you’re not utilising the dual output during your session, there is the optional OCR8 remote, giving you full access to polar patterns and switches, available from via your Android or iOS device, from the comfort of your control room.

Quick service and reasonable price. Angus was helpful and transparent.20/07/23 Update. I had an issue with some equipment that I purchased from these guys, and true to form, they were supportive and gave me consistent feedback on the progress of my concern. Elliot and Darren were incredibly committed to getting me a satisfactory result. I have recommended Factory Sound to my mates because I actually believe that they will be taken care of.

The only place to buy pro audio gear from. Been coming here for over 20 years, and a lot of the same staff still look after me. Says a lot about their business. The best service, advice and gear every single time. If they don’t have it, they’ll get it for you. No need to worry about pricing, theirs is ALWAYS the best. All the staff go out of their way to help you, and will always get back to you. Cant’ recommend this place enough, 5 stars doesn’t seem like enough.
