Handcrafted in Vienna, the City of Music, the Austrian Audio OC818 is a revolutionary multi-pattern, dual-output large-diaphragm condenser microphone with optional wireless control. Onboard, the OC818 offers a choice of four selectable polar patterns, 10dB and 20dB pads, and three switchable highpass filters. But with Austrian Audio’s open-source PolarDesigner plug-in (Mac and Windows), you can craft custom polar patterns for up to five different frequency bands.

Plus, the PolarPilot mobile app (iOS, Android) gives you real-time wireless remote control over the polar patterns, the highpass filter, and the pad settings via the optional OCR8 Bluetooth dongle. Note that the OC818 is continuously operating and mode switching purely in the analog domain; only the analog bias voltages are being governed remotely.

There is no digital signal in either the audio or bias paths. Giving you the best of both worlds, the Austrian Audio OC818 is a sophisticated tool that will surely help you make better-sounding recordings.

Designed for touring and live sound engineers, the Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set Go includes two OC818 mics, two OCC8 mini XLR cables, two OCH8 mic clips, and a vinyl carry case.

Explore the sonic possibilities

The OC818 offers four selectable onboard polar patterns: Figure-8, Supercardioid, Cardioid, and Omni, giving you immense flexibility when it comes to exploring the sonic possibilities offered by different recording techniques. The fifth setting is Preset mode, which works in tandem with the optional Bluetooth dongle that plugs into a port on the rear of the mic body and lets you program custom patterns.

Austrian Audio microphones are rigorously tested on state-of-the-art measurement systems and precision matched to within a stringent 1dB tolerance — which means that with two of these excellent microphones, you can confidently implement stereo techniques such as Spaced Pair (A/B), XY (including Blumlein), ORTF array, Mid-Side (M-S), and Spaced Omni (with or without a center mic). It’s worth noting that a single OC818, with its two separate XLR outputs, is a stereo microphone in and of itself. However, by employing two OC818s, your options will expand exponentially.
