## Long description

The Austrian Audio OC16 is a large-diaphragm cardioid condenser studio microphone designed and engineered in Vienna. It pairs a handmade CKR6 capsule with an Open Acoustics design to deliver transparent, natural sound across a wide frequency range. Built for professional and home studios, the OC16 captures vocals and instruments with precision and reliability and uses an XLR wired connection with 48 V phantom power.
Advantages
The OC16 offers a robust construction and meticulous in-house testing of each CKR6 capsule to ensure consistent quality and accuracy. Its open acoustic design and high maximum SPL handling make it versatile for close vocal work and loud sources alike. The microphone provides clear, detailed reproduction for vocals, acoustic and electric instruments, piano, drums, wind and string instruments, as well as spoken-word applications like podcasting and streaming.

How to use
Connect the OC16 to a microphone preamp or audio interface using a standard XLR cable and enable 48 V phantom power on the input. Position the mic with its front (cardioid side) pointed toward the sound source and adjust distance to taste: close for presence and detail, further back for a more room-inclusive sound. Use appropriate pop filters or windshields for vocal work and isolation or damping for loud sources when needed. Monitor levels to avoid clipping when recording high SPL sources.
Usage recommendations
For best results, test the handmade CKR6 capsule placement in your room: small adjustments in angle and distance often yield significant improvements in clarity and tonal balance. Use a quality preamp and clean gain staging to take full advantage of the OC16's dynamic range.
