The OC818 can be used to change the directivity of the same take multiple times using the PolarDesigner plug-in.
For a long time, I'd been looking for a versatile, neutral, and top-level pair of microphones for my classical guitar recordings, in solo as in a duo with the flute.
We tried a lot of microphones on the guitar amps, but the OC18 was clearly at the forefront due to its transparency and balance.
The OC18’s sounded great on the Steinway piano, and with the right placement in a fairly controlled sounding room, they picked up the tones and dynamics of the piano beautifully.
The Austrian Audio OC818’s have been a game changer in my studio setup — incredibly detailed, balanced, and perfect for capturing the full character of my drums.
