## Description

Product Description With the OC16, Austrian Audio introduces a microphone in the Open Condenser large-diaphragm series equipped with Open Acoustics technology. The transparent and natural sound of OC microphones, which has been praised by the press and users, is the result of the combination of the patented CKR capsule and the Open Acoustics design approach developed by Austrian Audio. The OC16 is a flexible all-rounder and it can be used on a wide variety of instru- ments: from drums to electric and acoustic guitars, pianos, wind and string instruments to vocals.

Review: Fabulous Mic: one happy camper - I've been fussing about trying to find a good sounding microphone that doesn't need equalization to make sound right, or that has a natural timbre. This is the ticket for me! This and my Line Audio CM4 pencil microphones have almost the exact same sound signature. The OC16 even bests my outrageously over-priced Earthworks microphone. The screen on the OC16 is transparent and surprisingly effective. I wish it was black. It can't take direct plosives, which is to be expected. However, set at 15-30 degrees off centre, I've not needed a filter or foamy. The mic even works well in non-professional (not tediously "treated") rooms. I'm so happy with it; shamelessly so. It ain't the lowest priced mic out there -- granted --, but I'm happy with the "quality costs." The price-to-quality ratio is typically utter nonsense for high-end gear, if you are a non-professional like myself. This mic just sits at the outer threshold. I'm one happy camper.
Review: Super Micro - Für dieses Geld ein wahnsinnig tolles Mikro. Wenn ich nicht zum Vergleich ein OC18 gekauft und mich lange reingehört hätte, wäre es nicht zurück gegangen. Ich hatte sogar überlegt beide zu behalten. Es ist unglaublich nahe am OC18 dran. Den Unterschied den die Kabel im Vergleich ausgemacht haben war größer als der Unterschied der Mikros. Die Optik ist auch super. Aber letztlich hat dann der Hauch besser Klang, das komplett schwarze Gehäuse und "Made in Austria" die Wahl auf das OC18. Die Spinne ist fast gleichwertig zum OC18. Mit der Spinne vom OC18 kommt man näher an den Amp. Witzigerweise kann man die Spinne vom OC16 mit der Spinne vom Rode NT1A kombinieren (Innenteil von OC16-Spinne mit Gummis/Außenteil von NT1A-Spinne) und hat so eine stabilere Spinne mit integriertem Popschutz. ;-)

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ For me a winner on acoustic guitar!
*by J***N on 9 November 2024*

I wanted a stereo pair for recording acoustic guitar and these were perfect for my needs. Got them on offer for a great price too. Made in Austria by a company made up with a core team of ex AKG Employers.
