DISCOVER

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

The OC818 can be used to change the directivity of the same take multiple times using the PolarDesigner plug-in.

Our first choice of microphones is Austrian Audio OD505, an active dynamic microphone that delivers everything that we need.

The first thing I noticed about Austrian Audio’s microphones was the build quality.

The Hajj

From day one of hearing these mics at the NAMM convention we fell in love with these microphones and headphones! We love our paid or CC8 mics for our drum overheads and our HiX65 headphones in the mixing room! The gear is so solid and well-made!.

All in all, the conclusion was that you get a very comprehensive microphone, playing in the same league as the ones we compared it to.

After struggling with a particular artist to find the right microphone to really capture the nuance of the voice, a friend had pointed me towards Austrian Audios live vocal mics, the OD505 and the OC707.

I was at the legendary Rockfield Studios in January, recording a full band setup, and have the OC818 in dual capsule mode in front of the kit.
