Engineered and built in Austria, the high sensitivity and low self-noise means OC18 can handle anything from a whisper, to extreme SPLs without distortion, making it a perfect tool for studio, live and broadcast situations. The unique ceramic capsule design is so consistent, the OC18 can be match-paired with any other OC18 or with any OC818 set in cardioid mode.
