What Friends Are Saying
“I've tested the OC818 with vocals so far, and I like the result! The mic has a nice top end – especially for crisp pop vocals.
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 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.
If I could only have one microphone on my next production it would surely be the 818.
"Your mics are used for: Guitar amps, drums overheads, vocals Florian Spies (keyboard), vocals Paul Gallister (2nd guitar).
