Austrian Audio OC18 Studio Set Cardioid Condenser Microphone
Austin Bazaar is an authorized Austrian Audio dealer.
CKR6 CERAMIC CAPSULE: Each Capsule is hand built in Vienna using Innovative high-density materials, with Austrian inhouse engineering. It has narrow tolerance due to mechanical design and Improved Mechanical isolation.
LOW-SELF NOISE: Transformerless design offering balanced frequency response and an off-axis pickup smoother than typical.
BUILT IN DIFFUSER/ABSORBER: Located below the capsule is a specially tuned diffuser/absorber. This eats up any reflections that would otherwise reflect and bounce around inside the microphone's housing. Making the robust microphone housing as acoustically invisible as possible.
SUSPENSION DESIGN: The capsule is floating by its rubber shock mounts above the diffuser/absorber. It has a decreased handling noise due to this integral suspension design.
PACKAGE CONTAINS: 1x OC18 Microphone, 1x Protective Carry Case, 1x OCS8 Spider Mount Suspension, 1x OCW8 Foam Windshield, 1x OCH8 Mic Clip.
The OC18 is Austrian Audio's affordable large diaphragm microphone; a classic cardioid directional pattern with identical acoustic characteristics as its big brother the OC818. Engineered and manufactured in Austria, its high sensitivity and incredibly low self-noise means it can handle everything from a whisper to extreme SPLs without distortion, making it the perfect choice for studio, live and broadcast applications. As the unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, the OC18 can be match-paired with ANY other OC18 or paired with ANY OC818 set in cardioid mode.
Directional characteristics: cardioid
Frequency range: 20 Hz - 20 kHz
Sensitivity (all directions): 13mV/Pa
Equivalent noise level: 9 dB SPL (A)
Max SPL: 148 dB SPL (158 dB SPL)
Switchable pad: -10 dB, -20 dB
Low Cut filter: 40 Hz (2nd order), 80 Hz (2nd order), 160 Hz (1st order down to 80Hz, 2nd order below)
Impedance: 275 ? (symmetrical)
Load impedance: > 1 k?
Supply voltage: 48 V (< 4mA, typical 2.1mA)
Main Connector: XLR 3 pin
