Not just stereo. A system.

The OC818 Dual Set Plus is built for engineers who rely on precision – where two microphones must behave as one.

With ultra-tight factory matching, both OC818s deliver consistent response, stable phase, and a stereo image you can trust. Whether you’re recording vocals, piano, drum overheads, or full ensembles, every detail is captured with depth and accuracy.

What sets this system apart is its dual-output design. Paired with PolarDesigner, it gives you control beyond the recording itself – adjust polar patterns, reduce bleed, and shape your stereo image after the take.

Capture with precision. Refine with control.

Everything you need for a precise stereo setup

The OC818 Dual Set Plus brings together a fully matched stereo system – built for accuracy, flexibility, and real-world sessions.

Two factory-matched OC818 microphones ensure identical response and consistent stereo imaging. OCS8 shockmounts provide stable isolation, while the stereo bar guarantees precise alignment for accurate phase and positioning. OCH8 clips offer a lightweight mounting option when speed matters. OCC8 cables unlock the second output of each microphone – enabling dual-output recording and full PolarDesigner control. OCW8 windscreens help maintain clarity in challenging environments.

A rugged carrying case keeps everything protected and ready to go.

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.

Since swapping out my overheads for the OC818s, my mixes have never had such a defined top end.

The OC818 has become my favorite multipurpose, first-choice microphone.

The Austrian Audio OC818 and Hi-X60 play a crucial role in our studio.

The mics manufactured by Austrian Audio give us endless opportunities for any musical situation.

Austrian Audio ist es gelungen, die Wiener Tradition nicht nur wiederzubeleben, sondern auch um zukunftsweisende Technologien zu erweitern.

These microphones perform superbly on almost all instruments and voices. Their even-handed nature and freedom from unwanted resonance makes them brilliant all-rounders in most situations
amazona.de OC818 Review
Das OC18 hat schon ordentlich vorgelegt, aber was Austrian Audio mit dem OC818 zum Preis von knapp unter 1000,- Euro bietet, ist herausragend.
Audio Media International OC818 Review
This is a reference grade studio mic that stands on its sound quality, but also offers features that will soon become indispensable parts of our studio workflow.
Bonedo OC818 Review
Das Austrian Audio OC818 ist ein durch und durch gelungenes Mikrofon, das klanglich und vom Handling her eine wirklich gute Figur abgibt.

The OC18 and OC818 aren’t just great microphones for the price: they’re great microphones, full stop.
Recording Magazine (USA) 10/2019
This is a mic where there’s no point in highlighting sources- the OC818 loves them all, from delicate strings to rocking guitar cabinets, to drum overheads and piano. It’s also lovely on vocals
Audio Technology 9/2019
The OC818 is one of the best-sounding new microphones I’ve had the pleasure of reviewing over the past 15 years
