Austrian OC616
- Geplaatst op
Every OC616 is built around one simple idea: real sound, made easy. It starts long before you hit record, with materials, acoustics, precision and countless details engineered to work as one.
The OC616 is what happens when legendary DNA meets modern attitude. Handcrafted in Vienna around the CKR12 capsule for clear, direct sound with punch and presence. Five polar patterns. Massive headroom. Open Acoustic Technology. From delicate vocals to screaming amps, it takes on any source. One mic. Every source. No compromise.
The result: open highs, detailed mids, natural low-end extension, and the depth and resolution that made the original CK12 legendary.
THE CKR12 AT A GLANCE
• 1" large-diaphragm true condenser capsule, dual diaphragm
• Edge-contacted design
• Austrian Audio's patented ceramic isolator
• Handcrafted and individually measured in Vienna
• The same DNA as our flagship OC818
Inside a microphone, every surface can get in the way. Reflections hit the diaphragm milliseconds late, creating comb filtering that colors the signal. Our Open Acoustic Technology takes those obstacles out. The capsule sits as freely as possible, so sound reaches it openly from every side.

Five polar patterns put you in control of what the OC616 hears. Go focused with cardioid or hypercardioid, open up with wide cardioid or omni, or switch to figure-eight for creative setups. Vocals, instruments, rooms, stereo – one mic adapts to the session.

Three switchable high-pass filters let you shape the low end before it reaches the mix. Cut rumble at 40 Hz, tighten things up at 80 Hz, or control proximity and unwanted lows at 160 Hz. Less cleanup later. More control while recording.
