What Friends Are Saying
"Femi Temowo, my dear producer, has been using the OC818 on my voice ever since we started making music together - 'You're Austrian, we'll go full circle and use the Austrian mic,' he said.
"I still love to use real instruments like my beloved upright piano! The CC8 pair I got is so well-matched that the stereo imaging is insane: XY or ORTF always a pleasure! Loving the midrange also perfect for acoustic guitars!".
If I could only have one microphone on my next production it would surely be the 818.
An incredibly open, transparent, neutral and yet dynamic sound, my go-to for drums, definitely and almost always for toms.
