Stereo pair of OC818 mics, precision matched to within 1dB tolerance for accurate stereo capture. Handmade in Vienna.
Austrian Audio opened its doors on July 1st, 2017. Made up of former AKG staff after the closure of their legacy home in Vienna, they set out to create something new, challenging, and respectful to their heritage, while carrying on and upholding the reputation that had been built up over many years.
The OC818 is a multipattern dual output condenser microphone with world’s first optional wireless control. The handmade CKR12 ceramic capsule is made to same critical dimensions as the best legacy CK12 capsules Austrian Audio could find, measure and record. The OC818 features multiple polar patterns, microprocessor control of polarization voltages and two analog high-pass filters with three settings.
The true power of the OC818 is available when used with the PolarPilot app (Android and iOS), which allows wireless control over your analog: patterns, high-pass and pad in real-time via BlueTooth! The PolarPilot app allows you to discover and create 255 discrete polar patterns and save, recall, and share your favorite settings. The OC818 is always pure analog. It is only the analog bias voltages that are being governed remotely. Switching also is always analog. There is no digital in either the audio or bias paths. It’s everything you want, with nothing you don’t.
OC818 Studio Dual Set contains: 2x OC818 microphone, 2x OCS Spider Mount Suspension, 2x OCW8 Foam Windshield, 2x OCH8 Mic Clip, 2x OCC8 Mini XLR Cable + Cable clip, Protective Carry Case.

Great portable speaker.
Loving this new addition. No cables needed and very low latency. Can't even notice it. Great for being portable and I use it as a sub in my music room. Battery life is great and it's easy to set up.
Does the job perfectly and mix foundation shipped it to me in record speed.

Kinda essential upgrade
Thanks for the advice and quick postage. Upgraded from 2M red to the blue stylus. Night and day in terms of accuracy. Don’t think just buy the blue if you have a red currently. Not an audiophile but difference was extremely noticeable. Put on a project debut carbon.

Great mixer!
Loving my new mixer. It's great to get rid of extra cables for my old sound card, and I'm enjoying all the extra effects that my DJM 800 didnt have. This was delivered really quickly and there was great communication from Mix Foundation.

The best sound!!!
The best I've ever heard as a DJ using this pair of cartridges and stills. Fortunately, I spoke with Grant's, who helped me with my choice.

No Frills work horse
Can't go wrong with a solid performing workhorse head shell prewired for you to just fit the cartridge. It is an SME bayonet fit - for "S" shaped tone arms like that used by technics on their Turntables and you just cannot ask for more at the price point. Works well for both the 2M and the new MC X range of cartridges. I have a 2M Black MM and X40 MC fitted to this head shell - no problems working well.

Right out of the box - no run-in it sounds open and transparent.
Open and transparent - solid bass, beautiful mid range and highs.
Tight is the word and low surface noise.
With everything equal - sound is open, extracting all there is in the grove.
A step up - yes - from the 2M black.
40 hours they say to run-in - going to be a sound experience.
Best buy for me - sure to bring me pleasure for hours.
A worthy cartridge to try and a keeper.

Decksaver - saver of the decks
This product is really great! I'm impressed. It fit's very snugly and offers support and protection in a very clever and simple way. I've not had to test it, but I feel confident it will do what it says on the tin.....just not maybe under the weight of a human....but you never know! :) I recommend it!

Quality cable
Bought two of these for Playback duties. I have used poor cables in the past and paid the price. Bought these cables years ago and they never let me down. Bought another set for another band Playback setup. Never let me down.
