Engineered and manufactured in Austria, the OC818 delivers exceptional versatility, handling sources from the subtlest whisper to extreme sound pressure levels—making it an advanced choice for studio recording, broadcast and live sound applications.
The optional OCR8 remote control and PolarPilot App provide wireless command of your OC818, enabling you to create 255 discrete polar patterns. Real-time wireless control over the integrated analogue high-pass filters and pad gives you complete flexibility throughout the recording process.
