The Austrian Audio OC16 studio microphone was designed and developed in Vienna, the city of music. It is a versatile large-diaphragm condenser microphone that captures instruments and vocals with natural sound and unprecedented transparency. The microphone has a cardioid polar pattern, slim profile and low weight. The OC16 is thus easy to position in small spaces, making it ideally suited for recording such as snare drums and other hard-to-reach sources. You'll notice that it doesn't have a pad - and that's because it doesn't need one. The OC16 can handle SPLs up to 148dB, so you can even mike an electric guitar amp at close range without fear of damaging your capsule. The OC16 features Austrian Audio's own handmade CKR6 capsule and Open Acoustics technology, which neutralizes acoustic interference such as standing waves and reflections within the microphone. This advanced technology delivers the acclaimed, natural and open-sounding OC sound. Add to that the OC16's robust build quality and reasonable price tag, and this microphone should not be missing from your setup!
