The Austrian Audio OC16 Studio Set

The OC16 studio set from Austrian Audio includes a high-quality large-diaphragm condenser microphone with matching accessories for studio or possibly live use. The OC16 is extremely robustly built and equipped with the CKR6 ceramic capsule. Every single one of these handmade CKR capsules is tested and measured by Austrian Audio before it leaves the factory.

What can I use the OC16 for?

The OC16 is an extremely flexible all-rounder, as is common for large-diaphragm condenser microphones. It allows for use on a wide variety of instruments: From drums to electric and acoustic guitars, pianos, wind and string instruments, and vocals.

What is "Open Acoustic" technology?

Thanks to "Open Acoustics" technology, sound from the rear can also pass through to the capsule, resulting in an extremely precise cardioid characteristic. This "linear cardioid" means that sound coming in not only from the front, but also from the rear or the side sounds good and undistorted. As a result, even the sometimes unavoidable crosstalk from other instruments sounds good.

Only in professional studio use?

The OC16 also cuts a fine figure at the desk: podcast recordings, live streaming, dubbing of video content or even online conferences - all this is now created with the best speech intelligibility and quality. The very precise cardioid polar pattern helps to reduce background noise, such as computer fan noise. Computer fan noise, effectively suppressed.
