Its unique ceramic capsule design guarantees that each unit is perfectly matchable with others, providing flawless stereo recordings or use in multi microphone setups. The OC818 allows precise control over polar patterns via the included OCR8 Bluetooth Remote and the PolarPilot™ App, offering flexibility in capturing sound from any direction.

Whether for solo recordings or complex setups, the OC818 ensures remarkable sound accuracy, precision, and flexibility for professional grade audio capture.

Precision in Sound Capture:
Offering unrivalled clarity, the OC818 is engineered to capture sound with exceptional precision. Its large diaphragm and innovative ceramic capsule design work together to ensure consistent, natural recordings. This precision is complemented by the microphone's high sensitivity and low self noise, making it ideal for capturing even the most subtle sounds.
