What Friends Are Saying
I am truely impressed by the very useful tonal balance and off-axis behaviour of the OC818.
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.
“For my productions it’s imperative to capture the sound of an instrument in all its naturalness including any background noises”.
The OC-B6 has been on two records already and the kick drum sound is amazing! I truly love it.
We tried a lot of microphones on the guitar amps, but the OC18 was clearly at the forefront due to its transparency and balance.
