Polo Jones
First let me talk about the OC18 you sent me. it’s amazing, I use it all the time; it’s so sensitive. it’s really crazy and it’s warm actually both microphones are warm I love the tone. And they are pretty flat. The OC818 is on incredible piece of machinery it is ultra-versatile. The The polar patterns are great and I love that I can see a graphic display of what the microphone is doing with the polar app.

Due to the covid I’m just now starting to do sessions we just had to make our studio Covid friendly.
