What Friends Are Saying
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.
An incredibly open, transparent, neutral and yet dynamic sound, my go-to for drums, definitely and almost always for toms.
“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 !”.
