Austrian Audio OC16 Large-diaphragm Condenser Microphone

Viennese Craftsmanship Meets Modern Innovation
Hailing from Vienna, the City of Music, the Austrian Audio OC16 is a testament to impeccable craftsmanship and modern engineering. This large-diaphragm condenser microphone is adept at capturing both instruments and vocals, delivering a sound that sparkles with fidelity and resonates with transparency.

Versatility at Its Core
The OC16's cardioid polar pattern, combined with its sleek design and lightweight build, makes it a breeze to position, even in tight spaces. Whether you're recording a snare drum or a vocal performance, this microphone stands out. And with its ability to handle up to 148dB SPLs, you can confidently mic even the loudest of sources without a hint of distortion.

Advanced Engineering for Superior Sound
At the heart of the OC16 lies Austrian Audio's proprietary handmade CKR6 capsule, enhanced with Open Acoustics technology. This combination ensures that acoustical interferences, such as standing waves and reflections within the microphone, are neutralized. The result? A sound that's as natural and open as it gets.

Tailored Sound Capture
The OC16 doesn't just capture sound; it lets you shape it. With an onboard 40Hz/160Hz low-cut/highpass filter, you can fine-tune the microphone's response, eliminating any unwanted rumble or proximity effect.

Legacy and Precision Combined
Drawing inspiration from classic microphones, the OC16 is a blend of traditional wisdom and modern technology. Its CKR6 capsule, made with high-tech materials, offers a precision in manufacturing that sets new industry standards. Each microphone undergoes rigorous testing before leaving Austrian Audio's Vienna factory, ensuring consistent and reliable performance.

A Commitment to Excellence
Austrian Audio carries forward Vienna's rich musical legacy with a commitment to "Making Passion Heard." Their mission is clear: to create recording tools that are a fusion of cutting-edge technology and sonic brilliance, all while paying homage to Vienna's esteemed musical history.
