Austrian Audio OC818 | Reviews O C818 is a multipattern phantom-powered large-capsule condenser mic from Austrian Audio. It uses their own handbuilt CKR12 dual diaphragm ceramic capsule, heavily influenced by the classic AKG CK12. The mic has four pattern options (figure 8, supercardioid, cardioid and omnidirectional) with on-body high-pass filter and level pad. The Studio Set kit on review included a foam windshield, shockmount, regular mic clip, mini XLR cable and lightweight flight case.
