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 Austrian Audio OC818 are - without a doubt - the most versatile mics I’ve ever had in my studios ! Used them already in countless tracking sessions and they never failed to surprise me on so many different instruments and vocals with their unique clarity, incredible body and super smooth top end !”.

These microphones are made with decades of knowledge - for a sound that adds nothing and takes nothing away.

Steven uses OC818 and CC8 in his studio.

We are very pleased with the performance of the OC18 microphones! Also our drummer, Florian Koch, one of the operators of Sonic Studios in Vienna, is impressed about the sonic and overall quality.

Klanglich machen die Mikros genau das, was sie sollen.

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

The sound from the OC818 is perfect for my voice, it is incredibly detailed and has a ‘modern vintage’ sound.
