    OC18 Stereo Pair

    The Austrian Audio OC18 Dual Set Plus is a matched stereo pair of large-diaphragm cardioid condenser microphones, designed for demanding studio and live recording applications. Built around Austrian Audio’s patented CKR6 ceramic capsule, each OC18 delivers pristine clarity, natural warmth and remarkable consistency, making them ideal for stereo techniques such as XY, ORTF, AB, and Blumlein.

    Thanks to Open Acoustic Technology, internal resonance is minimised, ensuring transparent, true-to-source sound across vocals, instruments and ensembles. The OC18 also features an onboard analogue high-pass filter (40 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz) and switchable pads (-10 dB, -20 dB), making them versatile enough for everything from delicate acoustic recordings to high-SPL sources like drums or brass.

    Handmade in Vienna

    Each OC18 is meticulously handmade in Vienna and matched to within 1dB of each other, guaranteeing flawless stereo imaging. The Dual Set Plus package includes everything needed for professional stereo recording setups.
