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
The OC818 can be used to change the directivity of the same take multiple times using the PolarDesigner plug-in.
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.
Austrian Audio engineers have successfully created products that are of exceptional quality, matching and even exceeding some of the most expensive brands on the market.
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.
If I could only have one microphone on my next production it would surely be the 818.
