The OC16 is exceptionally priced and a suitable “starter mic” for those wanting an OC818 (or 18).

For $399 you get a designed-in-Austria large-diaphragm condenser microphone that will easily go head to head with more expensive mics. In terms of value for money, I think very few mics can match the OC16.

Das Austrian Audio OC16 ist eine stimmige Budgetversion des OC18. Klanglich und technisch fast auf Augenhöhe, kann man für ein paar kleinere Kompromisse viel Geld sparen.

Sound on Sound

All in all, this is a hugely impressive product. Yes, you can buy even more affordable large‑diaphragm capacitor mics — but how many of them have a European‑made capsule, let alone one with this heritage or quality level?
