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

First let me talk about the OC18 you sent me.

I bought my first OC18 a few years ago and since then it is one of my “go to” Microphones for recording Vocals and Overheads in the Studio.

The OC818 is finally a mic that can stand up to our beautiful old C414 Silver Arrow and we can now use it for all our instruments and voices.

Chris Hewitt

The OC818 and OC18 have become my go-to choice for drum overheads, but I regularly use them on guitar amps and even studio vocals.

This is a beautiful sounding (and looking:) mic! Love the design!.

Peter Wolf

After doing some first recordings with my brand new Bösendorfer grand piano I must state that the Austrian Audio OC818s are an upgrade towards the comparable model by any means; acoustically, electronically as well as outstanding software based accessories.
