Austrian Audio OC616-STUDIOSET Microphone Studio Set

Every OC616 is handcrafted in Vienna. At its core is the CKR12 capsule, the same capsule found in Austrian Audio’s flagship OC818. This is not simply a family resemblance—it is the actual capsule engineering that established the OC818 as a reference point in professional studios, now available in a microphone designed to reach a broader market.

The OC616 represents the next evolution of the legendary CK12 brass capsule, re-engineered with modern ceramic technology for the consistency and reliability customers expect. It delivers a clear, direct, and present sound that is punchy, assertive, and unmistakably defined.

With no smearing or vague top end, the OC616 captures an accurate, larger-than-life character that cuts through a mix and holds its own on any source.

Open Acoustic Technology:

Austrian Audio’s Open Acoustic Technology eliminates internal reflections and acoustic interference before they reach the capsule. The result is a remarkably open, natural sound with genuine depth and realism, capturing sources as they are meant to be heard—nothing added and nothing concealed.
