Description
w/ FREE OCR8 Bluetooth Dongle $179.00 Value!Engineered and manufactured in Austria, The OC818 is Austrian Audio’s premier, professional, large diaphragm microphone. 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.
Features:
Handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule with same critical dimensions as the classic CK12 capsule
Two different analog high pass filters w/ three settings. 40Hz, 80Hz, and 160Hz.
Cardioid, Omnidirecitona & custom programmable polar patterns
-10dB and -20dB Pad
Microprocessor control allows remote controlled polar pattern settings
Dual Outputs. (for recording each diaphragm separately)PolarPilot App (wireless Control)
- 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
