The Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set GO is a premium matched stereo microphone package designed for recording professionals who demand exceptional flexibility and sonic accuracy. Featuring two handcrafted OC818 large-diaphragm condenser microphones finished in silver, this set provides the tools needed for everything from stereo instrument recording and drum overheads to orchestral capture, room ambience, broadcast production, and immersive audio applications. Each microphone is manufactured and tested in Vienna, Austria, and built around Austrian Audio’s CKR12 ceramic capsule, delivering detailed, natural sound reproduction with impressive consistency between microphones. What sets the OC818 apart is its remarkable adaptability. The microphones offer multiple selectable polar patterns, including cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, hypercardioid, and custom programmable options, allowing engineers to tailor microphone response to virtually any recording scenario. With low self-noise, high sensitivity, and the ability to handle extremely high sound pressure levels, the OC818 is equally at home capturing delicate vocal performances, acoustic instruments, loud guitar cabinets, brass sections, and percussion. Optional wireless control capabilities further expand its functionality, enabling remote adjustment of polar patterns, pads, and high-pass filters through the PolarPilot mobile app. The OC818 Dual Set GO includes two OC818 microphones, two OCC8 Mini XLR cables, two OCH8 microphone clamps, two OCW8 windscreens, and a protective carrying case for convenient transport and storage. Beyond recording, the OC818 ecosystem offers advanced software tools that enable post-production control of polar patterns, stereo imaging, and immersive audio workflows, giving creators an extraordinary level of freedom both during and after the recording process.
