DISCOVER

Make It Boom. Keep it Pure.

Handcrafted in Vienna, the OC-B6 is the world’s first large-diaphragm condenser kick mic. Built for brutal 170 dB SPL, with pure, uncolored tone, a 25 Hz subsonic filter, and a 220° swivel head. Vintage tump or modern attack – you’re in full control. No distortion. No pre-EQ. No compromises.

What Friends Are Saying

On stage, it is important that emotions, thoughts and subtleties in the voice reach the audience.

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!.

We threw out the rule book when we built Woodshed Recording.

These microphones are made with decades of knowledge - for a sound that adds nothing and takes nothing away.

Colin Norfield

Colin actually doesn't do quotes ;) He tested the OC818 on drums Overheads at the production rehearsal, was very happy with the results and decided to use the mics on the Herbert Grönemeyer stadium tour Europe 2019.

Obie O'Brien

I have used the OC818s truly on everything.

Since swapping out my overheads for the OC818s, my mixes have never had such a defined top end.
