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.

On Overheads: For clarity and weight Austrian Audio’s craftsmanship and precision of the OC818 delivers! The OC818 is an instant classic! The OC818 is my new go-to for both drums and guitars.

Dear team of Austrian Audio! Not only do you build amazing microphones and continue a long living legacy in the industry.

Emily Craig on Guitar using Austrian Audio OC818

The OC18’s sounded great on the Steinway piano, and with the right placement in a fairly controlled sounding room, they picked up the tones and dynamics of the piano beautifully.

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

We threw out the rule book when we built Woodshed Recording.

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.
