Austrian Audio: the new Vienna classics Carrying on the rich legacy of high-end Viennese microphone design into the modern era, Austrian Audio is driven by an engineering team with over 300 years of combined experience. Their motto: “Making Passion Heard.” Their mission: to design and manufacture a new generation of recording tools that embrace cutting-edge technologies and sonic excellence while honoring Vienna’s rich musical heritage. That vision is realized in Austrian Audio’s proprietary, handcrafted CKR12 large-diaphragm capsule, which is used in the company’s excellent OC18 and OC818 condenser microphones. Austrian Audio’s distinguished lineup of fine microphones and accessories. Engineered and manufactured in Austria, its high sensitivity and low self-noise means it can handle everything from a whisper, to extreme SPLs without distortion, making it the perfect choice for studio, live and broadcast applications. The unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, the OC18 can be match-paired with any other OC18 or paired with any OC818 set in cardioid mode. Our free PolarPilot app (Android and iOS) allows real-time wireless control over your analogue patterns, high-pass, and pad in realtime via Bluetooth Save, recall, and share favourite settings Discover and create 255 discrete polar patterns One setting may be stored in OC818 for use without the PolarPilot app The OC818 is always pure analogue: only the analogue bias voltages are being governed remotely Switching also is always analogue No digital in either the audio or bias paths. It’s everything you want, with none of what you don’t 60 second OC818 clipping monitor/logger Wireless control from the comfort of your chair
