What Friends Are Saying

“It’s the best modern microphone I’ve heard… since forever!”.

Emily Craig on Guitar using Austrian Audio OC818

The OC18’s sounded great on the Steinway piano, and with the right placement in a fairly controlled sounding room, they picked up the tones and dynamics of the piano beautifully.

Dear team of Austrian Audio! Not only do you build amazing microphones and continue a long living legacy in the industry.

I wanted to let you know that I've been experimenting with the microphone you sent me and I love it!.

"Your mics are used for: Guitar amps, drums overheads, vocals Florian Spies (keyboard), vocals Paul Gallister (2nd guitar).

Since the mic's right in front of you, how it looks is important, too.

An incredibly open, transparent, neutral and yet dynamic sound, my go-to for drums, definitely and almost always for toms.
