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

If I could only have one microphone on my next production it would surely be the 818.

Emre Ramazanoglu

I am now using the OC818 and OC18 every day as overheads in my room.

As a performing artist, my voice and its clarity are everything.

Riccardo Damian

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.

Derek Brown Beatbox Sax

I wanted to let you know that I've been experimenting with the microphone you sent me and I love it!.

"As a percussionist, I do not think in instruments—I think in sounds.
