Stripped back to the core of classic ‘made in Vienna’ sound capture, the Austrian Audio OC18 is more than worthy of being your primary studio condenser microphone.

About Austrian Audio

Austrian Audio are a new boutique microphone brand on the scene, but are far from lacking the experience to show. Based in Vienna, the company consists of 22 former AKG employees with backgrounds in management and engineering disciplines.

They bring a cumulative 335 years of microphone and audio experience in mechanical design to acoustics, and rigorous testing procedures to software knowledge. You’re certainly in safe hands with Austrian Audio.

CKR12 Capsule

Very few people in the world can design or handcraft a classic edge-terminated capsule. Luckily, the Austrian Audio team have been building high-end transducers for over 20 years. They’re carefully constructed with skill and tradition.   

The OC18 is equipped with Austrian Audio’s outstanding CKR12 handmade capsule in a single diaphragm form. Plug in and get great tone straight out the box thanks to its cardioid polar pattern and crystal clear, vibrant tonal characteristics.

Stereo Use

This is the microphone for those who know exactly sound they want and how they’re going to use it. Austrian Audio microphones are calibrated to within one decibel of each other – add another OC18 or OC818 to record in perfect stereo harmony.

Mr Phil Simpson21st Feb 2024

I love this microphone for its smooth, even and articulate tone. The build quality and attention to detail is top notch and it comes in a beautiful flight case.

Coming from an SM7B I was really impressed by the extra detail captured by the OC18. Seems perfectly balanced for me as a male singer.

AKG's Austrian engineers have set up on their own as Austrian Audio. All their know-how is in this microphone. I liked it right away.
