What Friends Are Saying
The OC818 and OC18 have become my go-to choice for drum overheads, but I regularly use them on guitar amps and even studio vocals.
The Austrian Audio OC818’s have been a game changer in my studio setup — incredibly detailed, balanced, and perfect for capturing the full character of my drums.
"We're more than happy with the mics! They give us the perfect sound to really get the crowd going, and since we switched to the OD505 capsules, our sound engineer has had a much easier time getting our voices to cut through the massive instrumentals.
