## Long description

The Austrian Audio OC16 is a professional-grade large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed for high-quality audio recording. Utilizing the patented CKR6 capsule and an Open Acoustics design, this microphone delivers a transparent and natural sound profile. Engineered in Vienna, each unit undergoes rigorous testing to ensure precision and reliability for demanding recording environments.
Advantages
The primary benefit of the OC16 is its exceptional versatility and sonic clarity. By employing the handmade CKR6 capsule, the microphone captures audio with high precision, making it suitable for a wide range of sound sources. Its robust construction ensures durability, while the Open Acoustics technology minimizes unwanted resonances, providing a clean signal path that is highly valued in both professional and home studio settings.
Suitable for
Vocal recording for music and podcasts
Acoustic and electric instrument tracking
Drum overheads and percussion
Live streaming and broadcast applications
When it may not be suitable
This microphone requires 48V phantom power to operate, meaning it cannot be used with devices that do not provide this voltage, such as some portable recorders or basic audio interfaces without phantom power support. Additionally, as a condenser microphone, it is highly sensitive and may capture unwanted ambient noise in untreated acoustic environments.
Key specifications
Frequency response: 20 - 20000 Hz
Maximum sound pressure level: 148 dB
Polar pattern: Cardioid
Impedance: 275 Ω
Connectivity: Wired XLR
Power requirements: 48V phantom power
How to use
To use the Austrian Audio OC16, connect the microphone to your audio interface or mixing console using a standard XLR cable. Ensure that the 48V phantom power is enabled on your device to power the condenser capsule. Position the microphone toward the sound source, keeping in mind its cardioid polar pattern, which is most sensitive to sound directly in front of the capsule while rejecting sound from the rear.
What to consider before purchase
Ensure your audio interface or mixer provides 48V phantom power.
Consider the acoustic treatment of your recording space to maximize sound quality.
Verify that you have a compatible XLR cable and a sturdy microphone stand.
Usage recommendations: For optimal results, use a high-quality pop filter when recording vocals to prevent plosives. Experiment with microphone placement to find the best balance between the direct sound and the room acoustics.
