Austrian Audio OC818 Studio Set Large-Diaphragm Multi-Pattern Condenser Microphone (Black)

Buy Austrian Audio microphones online from Singapore's Premier AVL Superstore.

Designed by a team of former AKG personnel, Engineered and manufactured in Austria, The OC818 is Austrian Audio’s premier, professional, large-diaphragm microphone. If you're a fan of the C414 and the classic CK12 capsule sound, you'll like this improved capsule even more for it's uniform sound across capsules.

Its high sensitivity, low self-noise and 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.
