Make It Boom. Keep it Pure.

Handcrafted in Vienna, the OC-B6 is the world’s first large-diaphragm condenser microphone purpose-built for kick drum. 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

“I've tested the OC818 with vocals so far, and I like the result! The mic has a nice top end – especially for crisp pop vocals.

Denika Denkmair

Embracing all facets of a timbre can be a challenging task.

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

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.

Chris Hewitt

The OC818 and OC18 have become my go-to choice for drum overheads, but I regularly use them on guitar amps and even studio vocals.

Ron Flieger

I still love to use real instruments like my beloved upright piano! The CC8 pair I got is so well-matched that the stereo imaging is insane: XY or ORTF always a pleasure! Loving the midrange also perfect for coustic guitars!.

Your new microphones are awesome.
