Consistent performanceEngineered 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.The same handcrafted design as the OC818Classic cardioid.Handcrafted CKR6 ceramic capsulelike the CKR12 capsule, but with single diaphragm.Every Austrian Audio OC18 and OC818 is within 1dB of each otherMaking any two microphones a stereo pair.Making Passion HeardAustrian Audio brings passion to everything they do, and nobody brings more than their engineering team. Every CKR6 ceramic capsule is handmade in-house at Austrian Audio's facility in Vienna and now they are developing the next generation of transducer and microphone builders to serve their expanding customer-base.
