About this item

Austrian Audio OC18-STUDIOSET Large Diaphragm Microphone

Engineered and manufactured in Austria, its high sensitivity and low self-noise means it can handle everything from a whisper, to extreme SPLs without distortion, making it the perfect choice for studio, live and broadcast applications.

Features
