Revolutionize your workflow
Simply insert the OCR8 dongle into the microphone, pair it with your phone over Bluetooth, and you’re ready to go. Using this powerful free app, you can change the OC818’s polar patterns and other functions all in real time and without so much as leaving your chair.
- Our free Austrian Audio mobile app (Android and iOS) allows real-time wireless control over your polar patterns, high-pass, and pad in realtime via Bluetooth
- Save, recall, and share favourite settings
- Discover and create 255 discrete polar patterns
- One setting may be stored in the OC818 for use without the PolarPilot app
- The OC818 is always pure analogue: only the analogue bias voltages are being governed remotely
- Switching also is always analogue
- No digital in either the audio or bias paths—it’s everything you want, with none of what you don’t
- 60-second OC818 clipping monitor/logger
- Wireless control from the comfort of your chair
