What Friends Are Saying
I was at the legendary Rockfield Studios in January, recording a full band setup, and have the OC818 in dual capsule mode in front of the kit.
From day one of hearing these mics at the NAMM convention we fell in love with these microphones and headphones! We love our paid or CC8 mics for our drum overheads and our HiX65 headphones in the mixing room! The gear is so solid and well-made!.
I’ve always been a huge fan of the OC7, such a versatile microphone, rugged build with uncompromising quality, my current favourite though is the new OC-B6, I changed my usual kick out mic for this in the middle of a tour run and was blown away by the immediate increase of definition and rich low end.
The sound from the OC818 is perfect for my voice, it is incredibly detailed and has a ‘modern vintage’ sound.
