What Friends Are Saying
After doing some first recordings with my brand new Bösendorfer grand piano I must state that the Austrian Audio OC818s are an upgrade towards the comparable model by any means; acoustically, electronically as well as outstanding software based accessories.
Colin actually doesn't do quotes ;) He tested the OC818 on drums Overheads at the production rehearsal, was very happy with the results and decided to use the mics on the Herbert Grönemeyer stadium tour Europe 2019.
I am truely impressed by the very useful tonal balance and off-axis behaviour of the OC818.
The 818s are absolutely stunning! Not only they sound incredible on pretty much any source but they give me extreme flexibility to shape my sounds after the recording through PolarDesigner and Stereo Creator.
