Everything you need for both stage and studio
The Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set Plus has everything you need for true stereo sound on the stage and in the studio. The set includes twin OC818 microphones, two pop/windshields, two shock mounts, two mini stand mounts, two XLR breakout cables, a stereo bar and carry case. The stereo bar lets you set the perfect distance between the mics, for the most lifelike vocals. The quality carry case lets you transport the precious mics between stage and studio, so you’re always prepared.
Handmade ceramic capsule for exceptional pickup quality
Handmade in Austria, a CKR12 ceramic capsule lies at the heart of the OC818 mic. This exceptional quality capsule is critical to the OC818’s outstanding performance. Made to the highest standards, the capsule ensures that every detail is clearly expressed.
Dual outputs for recording flexibility
Dual outputs lets you record the front and rear capsules independently. This is ideal for when you might want to record separate channels for close-up vocals and ambient noise from the rest of the room, such as when recording a live performance.
Multi-polar patterns for recording flexibility
Thanks to its multi-polar pattern implementation, the Austrian Audio OC818 is extremely flexible. You can tailor the mic to suit the sound source and vocal style. This type of mic also helps in reducing feedback, controlling bleed during live recordings and even when being creative with varied mic techniques.
Polar Designer plug-in
With Austrian Audio’s free and Open Source PolarDesigner plug-in, you can extract the full potential of the dual outputs. When recording to stereo or dual-mono track, the plug-in software (Mac/Win: VST, AU and AAX) gives you unprecedented control of between one and five bands, each with selectable crossover points. Once you’ve hit on the perfect setting, you can store, recall and even share the preset.
Optional Bluetooth adaptors for even greater choice
Maximise the full potential of the Polar Designer plug-in, with the OCR8 (extra cost option) Bluetooth adaptors. These connect to the rear of the microphones and deliver, world’s first, wireless pattern and switching control. The unique feature lets you discover and create an unprecedented 255 discrete polar patterns. The supplied case has two cut-outs for the optional Bluetooth dongles.
Open Acoustics Technology for natural sound
Austrian Audio’s proprietary Open Acoustics Technology positions the recording capsule and mount in as much free space as possible. This means that the mic captures every subtle nuance of sound, giving the most detailed recording or playback performance. The reduction of sound-reflecting surfaces also helps in keeping the sound as resonance-free as possible.
Get the very best in stereo sound, on stage or at the studio, with the Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set Plus.
