I can confirm how absolutely amazing this mic is and if you can find one on the cheap, also check out a vintage AKG C414, the B-ULS version. It's the unmistakable pre-Samsung AKG sound, it has all the polar patterns, shelves and pads you could need. I have a fairly noisy untreated room and I can make great recordings with it without touching a single plugin.

Hey @AudioHaze, I know this is an old video but I recently got this mic and was blown away by what it can do. Specifically, many people might not realise that it could be used instead of the Universal Audio Sphere using the same plugins. I tried it with the Ocean Way mic locker and I think it sounds incredible. I don’t have any other decent mics to compare it to, but you most likely do and it would be a great video. I think Austrian Audio could really get a bump in sales if this mic was shown to work with sphere plugins, even if accuracy is not 100%, there is something magic happening to my ears with it. Love the channel

Most microphones can be made to give good - or at least acceptable results when positioned carefully. One of the important things which makes more expensive microphones different though is their lack of off-axis colouration. It's not something that's immediately obvious - but after using a large number of different models in all sorts of acoustic environments, good to terrible, it becomes evident that a lot of the additional expense of higher end mics has gone into designing something which doesn't exhibit the phase and frequency anomalies which make most cheaper mics almost unusable except when used fairly close and on-axis to the sound source. The OC818 is clearly very good in this regard, as is a favourite of mine, the Milab DC96b, coincidently another dual capsule design, though in this case Cardioid only.

I'm a voiceover talent and vocalist who owned a sennheiser MKH416 and a Rode NT1 (both excellent btw). But I wanted to upgrade the NT1 and get a smoother mic to compliment the "bright" 416. I waited, did my research (your review included), and decided the Austrian Audio OC18 was the one to go for. By shear luck I found a second hand OC818 at a price I couldn't refuse so jumped on It. Now, I no longer need to buy another microphone. This thing is amazing for VO and singing. I recently received a review from a client who said "Great sounding quality and thats coming from a multi-platinum producer!" The mighty Neumann U87 finally has a legitimate rival in the Austrian Audio.

On the other hand, The OC818 is the more natural sounding, it's more of an open sounding mic but amazingly, it's less sibilant (especially when you use the foam pop filter). The best thing for me is the amount of detail the AA captures. It brings out all the nuances, (the pops and cracks) in your voice, but in a good way. In terms of detail, the NT1 simply cannot compete and thus has been packed away.

In my infinite naivety as someone new to audio production, my honest review is that it's a very pretty sounding microphone (my female voice sound so nice on it!), but I was having trouble with it as it was still being unusable out of the box with it being so sensitive that it caught everything in the room. Every little brush of the hand against my clothes, the frogs croaking far outside, every tap on the desk, my feet fidgeting.... just a UAD unison pre-amp didn't do the trick for me, so I'm thinking of trying to gate it next somehow.

You seam very proud of that mic. I would be, probably too. One thought bothers me a bit about this mic and its technology. Also, as of the reference to older AKG, you bring here often. Old AKG will work nicely for the next 50 years. AA OC818 and the iOS app - I am not sure if it will be maintained in the (further?) future, and that app seams to be necessary to squeeze all the juice out of this mic. Maybe it's just an unjustified fear. The mic has physical buttons, so it probably will run with some lesser options, even the app is no more there. In short, simplicity vs. bells and whistles. Just wondering.

I know what you mean. But let’s say the app goes down, never to return… the OC818 has all the features of a 414 at a better price point and at least as good of a capsule, if not better.

The thing about older mics and gear is that they'll never be obsolete, and can always be rebuilt. What happens when bluetooth standards change in 10-15 years? I doubt this mic and app will still be supported 20+ years from now, but a good mic will hold its value and maybe even appreciate in value over 50 years. For $1000, I don't wanna treat my gear like its disposable. Is it possible to access all the functionality like mixed polar patterns without using any software?
@ezrashanti Жыл бұрын
Yep. Mult the 2nd capsule on a console and flip the polarity and balance the faders to get as close to a null as possible. Flip polarity back. Send both channels to a bus and control with a single fader. Capsules with multiple outputs have existed for decades. The plugin is simpler and there are many. The bluetooth control is hoakey but the plugin seems very easy and flexible.

Listening to the Track you recorded, apart from sounding really nice (great job!) was quite revealing. It showed once more, how important post processing is and in extent, how badly advised you are, to buy a microphone based on it’s sound alone. Great work as always. As for the hardware: We all love some good sturdy stuff to work with. It makes for a long use and thus the microphone much more sustainable. That being said though: I for myself always see software as a weakpoint here. But I feel, I need to explain, what I mean by that. I currently use a free software named Equalizer APO to modify my microphone sound. It works great, don’t get me wrong. I’m comfortable enough to use it on a weekly basis on my live streams, because - like I’ve said before- it just works. The issue I have with being reliant on software directly in a microphone, is this: If the software fails, for example, if the company stops to support the microphone software wise, how much is left of the product? I totally LOVE that software (Equalizer APO) for my use but at the same time, relying on it is a scary prospect, because the last update to it was 2 or 3 years ago I think. For Windows 11 it seems to work, but for how much longer will it continue to do so? And it’s the same for anything that is reliant on software. I don’t want to hate on the microphone just because of this, so here is my suggestion on how to make this less scary: We need an API for microphones like that, that is the same no matter what company you got your microphone from. Think about it like some sort of ASIO for microphone settings. If we had something like this, using microphones based on their software prowess would be much more sustainable. Because let’s face it: software support is the first thing to die on anything.
@AudioHaze2 жыл бұрын
API is a great idea! If it's any consolation, much about this microphone will work regardless of the app. The split dual capsule still will operate, and the plugin in needs no support once its downloaded, the only thing that will go is the app, and thats more a convenience factor than anything else :) Regardless, we are venturing into uncharted territory, and without a substantial investment in software from these companies, I do think these sort of things could easily devolve into disarray like you mentioned.

Hi how does it compare to the TLM-102 in a non treated Room if you have any experience with both? Thank You

Trying to take in the information, but the Gen Z zooms and transitions are really distracting my attention.

Ahhh technically that would be the u87ai, although that review was quite possibly my worst review for many reasons

meh, prtobably the best mic for your own taste and voice, but sure not the best one. From the first seconds I was like "damn that thing is clipping and is hell harsh". Sounds like a cheap chinese mic with busted lows and mids". imho my 0,02 cents P.S. just checked your old videos, so neumann tlms and soyuz sounds waaay much better.

An average music listener can't tell the difference between $200 mic and $1200 mic. It all comes down to the overall sound like vocal chain, mixing and mastering

Didn't you say this about the 102??
@officialWWM2 жыл бұрын
@@AudioHaze yes 😂😂 I like to sing into big mics, lol. I also like their “presence” in the studio. It is important to some customers. The 102 is different though, it just looks like the Neumann you buy when you can’t afford a real one 😂

Every American YT vlogger spends more than half of video talking. What do yanks never stop talking? More sounds and music please. Its a common complaint.

I recorded and produced an entire track for this review. If you have an issue, I suggest you make your own video rather than sitting behind your keyboard and complaining. There are plenty of videos covering this mic, including half of this video totally dedicated to audio demos. Is this really the energy you want to project into the world?
