Phoenix from the Ashes

After the Viennese traditional manufacturer AKG closed its doors in Austria in 2017, a team of former AKG engineers promptly founded Austrian Audio, and the OC 818 became their first proprietary product, following in the footsteps of the AKG classic. The Austrian Audio OC 18 is a slightly scaled-down and more affordable version of the flagship OC 818, without compromising sound quality. The studio set includes a standard microphone clamp, a high-quality shock mount for handling noise, a windshield, and is delivered in a sturdy aluminum transport case.

A Return to the Essentials

Austrian Audio designed the OC 18 as a simpler version of the OC 818. While the OC 818 features remote-switchable polar patterns and app control, the Austrian Audio OC18 Studio Set focuses on the essentials: ease of use and excellent sound quality. It has a fixed cardioid polar pattern—suitable for most applications. Included is a two-stage pad switch offering 10 and 20 dB attenuation, as well as a high-pass filter adjustable at 40, 80, or 160 Hz, making it versatile for adapting to individual voices, for example.
