The OC18 is Austrian Audio’s affordable large diaphragm microphone; a classic cardioid directional pattern with identical acoustic characteristics as its big brother the OC818.
Engineered and manufactured in Austria, its high sensitivity and incredibly low self-noise means it can handle everything from a whisper to extreme SPLs without distortion, mak-ing it the perfect choice for studio, live and broadcast applications. As the unique ce-ramic capsule design is so consistent, the OC18 can be match-paired with ANY other OC18 or paired with ANY OC818 set in cardioid mode.
OCS8 Microphone Shock Mount
The OCS8 shock mount secures the Austrian Audio OC818 or OC18 microphone and helps isolate it from mechanical noise and low-fre-quency rumble that can interfere with a recording or performance.
OCH8 Mic Clip
The OCH8 is a replacement clip designed to hold the Austrian Audio OC818 or OC18 microphone securely in position. The clip comes with a ⅜ thread mount and a ⅝ adapter.
OCW8 Windscreen
The OCW8 foam windshield is a perfect fit for the Austrian Audio OC818 and OC18 microphones. It helps to alleviate problems with wind, breath noise, and plosives that can interfere with the clean re-cording of a sound source.
SB1 Stereobar
The stereobar provides the ability to mount and align two OC Series microphones for use as a stereo set.
“Lovely rich, open sound“
“In the OC18 and OC818, Austrian Audio have combined old-school expertise with clever innovation to deliver really special large-diaphragm microphones at a compelling price”
“The OC18 and OC818 aren’t just great microphones for the price: they’re great micro-phones, full stop.”
