Large-diaphragm condenser microphone. OC16, a new large-diaphragm condenser microphone. Just like the critically acclaimed OC18 and OC818 models, the new OC16 has a transparent and natural sound thanks to a combination of the handcrafted CKR capsule (built in Vienna) and Austrian Audio's "Open Acoustics Technology" method. The OC16 is an extremely flexible microphone for a variety of instruments ranging from drums to electric and acoustic guitars, pianos, wind and string instruments, to vocals and more.
OC16 Studio Set includes - OC16 microphone, spidermount, mini XLR, microphone holder, wind shield and bag.
Low Cut / High Pass Filter:
- 40Hz to eliminate the lowest interference frequencies.
- 160Hz to counteract the so-called proximity effect
- A bass boost that occurs when the microphone is positioned very close to the sound source. Design and weight:
- The flat design of the microphone in combination with its low weight (335g) allows miking and precise alignment even in hard-to-reach places. Elastic capsule suspension:
- The CKR capsule is hung inside the microphone at three elastic points. This reduces interference from structure-borne noise to a minimum, so that the mic can also be used without a microphone spider. Ideal for hanging the OC16 on the cable in front of a guitar amplifier, for example.
High sound pressure tolerance:
- Ideal for use in front of very loud sources without running the risk of distortion. The OC16 can withstand a sound pressure level of up to 148 dB SPL. It doesn't matter whether it's used on brass, loud percussion instruments or directly on the guitar amp
- The OC16 will always transmit the signal cleanly and without distortion.
