That capsule follows the critical dimensions of classic CK12 designs in a modern ceramic build, giving high sensitivity, low self-noise, and headroom from quiet sources through extreme SPLs. Onboard switches select polar pattern, -10\/-20 dB pads, and 40\/80\/160 Hz low-cut filters entirely in the analog domain.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDual Output and Post Control\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA second Mini-XLR output carries the rear diaphragm separately from the front XLR. Record both capsules to dual tracks and use Austrian Audio's free PolarDesigner plug-in to shape custom polar patterns across frequency bands after the fact, or build stereo and Ambisonic images with StereoCreator and AmbiCreator. With the optional OCR8 Bluetooth adapter and PolarPilot app, you can change pattern, pad, and high-pass from the control room while the mic stays analog in the audio path.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eMatching and Applications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFactory consistency means any OC818 matches any other OC818. In cardioid mode it also pairs with any OC18. Typical uses include lead vocals, acoustic instruments, drum overheads, guitar cabinets, piano, and room miking where you want one mic that can adapt in session or in the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis Studio Set includes the silver OC818 with shockmount, windscreen, clip, Mini-XLR cable, and carry case so you can start dual-output or standard XLR sessions immediately.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eType:\u003c\/strong\u003e Multi-pattern large-diaphragm condenser\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCapsule:\u003c\/strong\u003e Handmade CKR12 ceramic\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolar patterns:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardioid, omnidirectional, figure-8, hypercardioid, plus custom via PolarDesigner \/ OCR8\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFrequency range:\u003c\/strong\u003e 20 Hz - 20 kHz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 13 mV\/Pa\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEquivalent noise:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 dB SPL (A)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMax SPL:\u003c\/strong\u003e 148 dB (158 dB with pad)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePads:\u003c\/strong\u003e -10 dB, -20 dB\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLow-cut filters:\u003c\/strong\u003e 40 Hz, 80 Hz, 160 Hz\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eImpedance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 275 Ω (balanced)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePower:\u003c\/strong\u003e 48 V phantom (\u0026lt; 4 mA, typical 2.1 mA)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnectors:\u003c\/strong\u003e XLR 3-pin (front), Mini-XLR 5-pin (rear diaphragm \/ OCR8)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 157 x 63 x 35 mm (6.2\" x 2.5\" x 1.4\")\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e 360 g (12.7 oz \/ 0.79 lb)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eIn the Box\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOC818 microphone\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOCS8 spider shockmount\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOCW8 foam windscreen\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOCH8 mic clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eOCC8 Mini-XLR cable with clip\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCarry case\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Austrian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50525565354233,"sku":"OC818-STUDIOSET-b1","price":1377.49,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0746\/5766\/1177\/files\/OC818-STUDIOSET.jpg?v=1779747835","url":"https:\/\/blackoutaudio.com\/products\/austrian-audio-oc818-studioset-b1","provider":"Blackout Audio","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
