SOUND EXPLORERS.

Inspired by discovery. Shaping their world with ours.

Ron Flieger

I still love to use real instruments like my beloved upright piano! The CC8 pair I got is so well-matched that the stereo imaging is insane: XY or ORTF always a pleasure! Loving the midrange also perfect for coustic guitars!

Riccardo Damian

The 818s are absolutely stunning! Not only they sound incredible on pretty much any source but they give me extreme flexibility to shape my sounds after the recording through PolarDesigner and Stereo Creator.

John McBride

Microphones are probably the most important tools we use!

I have used the OC818s truly on everything. They work great everywhere. They’re so smooth and flat it’s crazy.

« The OC18 is my go-to everyday mic. It boasts the clarity and definition you need to produce professional vocal takes, and is dynamic enough to capture beautiful lush recordings of other instruments such as the acoustic guitar. »

Gabriele Lissia

For a long time, I’d been looking for a versatile, neutral, and top-level pair of microphones for my classical guitar recordings, in solo as in a duo with the flute. Now I’ve finally found in the OC 818 and OC18 the perfect solution to all my needs.

Andrea Lepori

“The Austrian Audio OC818 are – without a doubt – the most versatile mics I’ve ever had in my studios ! Used them already in countless tracking sessions and they never failed to surprise me on so many different instruments and vocals with their unique clarity, incredible body and super smooth top end !”
