The OC818 Dual Set Go is built for the professional who requires a high-end, portable stereo solution. The sleek black finish is specifically designed for light-critical applications such as broadcast or live stage performances where a subtle aesthetic is required. At the heart of each microphone is a team of former AKG personnel's engineering, ensuring that the legacy of Viennese microphone design continues with modern consistency and innovative digital control.
Product Description
Dual Output & PolarDesigner Workflow:
Each microphone in this set is a dual-output device. By using the secondary mini-XLR output, you can record both the front and rear diaphragms on separate tracks. This allows you to use the PolarDesigner plug-in to change the polar pattern after the recording—even allowing you to select different patterns for up to five different frequency bands. This level of control is revolutionary for managing room bleed or fine-tuning the stereo width of a piano or drum kit in post-production.
The Power of the CKR12 Capsule:
Handmade in Vienna: The CKR12 ceramic capsule is crafted to the same critical dimensions as the legendary CK12, but with modern ceramic housing for extreme stability and consistency.
Matched Pairs by Default: Because of the strict manufacturing tolerances, any OC818 can be matched with any other. This Dual Set Go ensures you have a perfectly balanced pair straight out of the box.
High SPL Handling: Capable of handling up to 158 dB SPL (with pad), these mics are as comfortable on loud guitar cabs as they are on delicate vocals.
Intelligent Features & Wireless Ready:
The OC818 Black Dual Set Go features a microprocessor-controlled polarization system. This enables the use of the optional OCR8 Bluetooth dongle, allowing you to control pads, filters, and patterns wirelessly from your phone via the PolarPilot app. The set includes essential "Go" accessories like OCH8 mic clips and OCW8 windshields, making it a lightweight, high-performance alternative to the heavier shock-mount-based sets.
