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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eVocals \u0026amp; Speech\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom intimate vocals to broadcast-ready speech, the OC616 puts every nuance up front. Its CKR12 capsule delivers clear, direct sound with natural presence and definition, while Open Acoustic Technology keeps the source open and honest – from whispered voiceovers to powerful vocal performances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAcoustic Instruments\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom delicate fingerstyle guitar to piano, strings, and percussion, the OC616 captures the instrument, not the microphone. Its CKR12 capsule and Open Acoustic Technology reveal fine detail, natural transients, and realistic depth, while massive dynamic range handles every performance with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDrum Overheads\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFast transients meet massive dynamics. The OC616 captures cymbal detail, shell attack, and the energy of the entire kit without losing definition. Its open acoustic design keeps overheads natural and spacious, while 134 dB of dynamic range leaves plenty of room for impact.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAmplifiers\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFrom clean tones to screaming high-gain stacks, the OC616 takes serious level without flinching. Up to 157 dB SPL captures attack, punch, and cabinet character with precision, while its clear, direct response keeps guitars and basses defined, powerful, and ready for the mix.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStereo Recording\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive polar patterns turn the OC616 into a serious stereo tool. From Mid\/Side to Blumlein and beyond, its consistent response delivers precise imaging, stable phase relationships, and convincing depth – giving engineers the flexibility to build anything from focused stereo recordings to immersive soundscapes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBUILT AROUND SOUND.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWe’re engineers. We’re microphone obsessives. And we know great sound doesn’t need to be complicated. For us, it starts long before you hit record – with materials, acoustics, precision, and countless details engineered to work as one. From a capsule handcrafted and individually measured in Vienna to an acoustic design that gets out of the sound’s way, the OC616 is built around one simple idea: real sound, made easy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCKR12. Pure Sound at Its Core.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAt the heart of the OC616 is the CKR12  – Austrian Audio’s handcrafted 1” large-diaphragm true condenser capsule, featuring an edge-contacted design, built on the legacy of the legendary C12 and pushed far beyond it. Engineered with a ceramic isolator and individually measured during production, the CKR12 delivers exceptional consistency, ultra-low distortion, and a level of detail that reveals every nuance of a performance. Fast transients, open highs, controlled lows – all captured with absolute precision and zero artificial coloration.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo vintage myths. No artificial character. Just the full truth of your sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing added. Nothing held back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eOpen Acoustics. Let the Sound Breathe.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eInside a microphone, every surface can get in the way. Reflections hit the diaphragm milliseconds late, creating comb filtering that colors the signal. Our Open Acoustics Technology takes those obstacles out. The capsule sits as freely as possible, with reflective surfaces and contact points reduced to a minimum and carefully selected diffuser materials controlling what remains. Sound reaches the capsule openly from every side, preserving natural detail, cleaner polar patterns, and reliable rear rejection for improved feedback resistance on stage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLess reflection. Less coloration. More of the source, exactly as it should sound.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOpen by design. Naturally true.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFive patterns. Every angle.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFive 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCut the noise. Keep the sound.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThree 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhen loud gets louder\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSome sources don’t do subtle. With -10 dB and -20 dB pads, the OC616 is ready when levels climb – from drums and percussion to cranked guitar and bass cabinets. Push the source, keep the control, and capture the performance without holding back.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"aa-ts-list\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eDirectional characteristic (Multi)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003eCardioid, Omnidirectional, Figure-8, Hypercardioid, Wide Cardioid\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eFrequency range\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e20 Hz – 20 kHz\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eSensitivity (all directions)\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e13 mV\/Pa\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eEquivalent noise level\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e13 dB SPL (A)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eMax SPL\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e147 dB SPL (157 dB SPL)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eSwitchable Pad\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e-10 dB, -20dB\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eAnalog low cut filter\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e40 Hz (2nd Order), 80 Hz (2nd Order), 160 Hz (1st Order down to 80Hz, 2nd Order below)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eImpedance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e108 Ω (symmetrical)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eLoad impedance\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e\u0026gt; 1 kΩ\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eSupply voltage\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e48 V (\u0026lt; 3 mA)\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eMain Connector\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003eXLR 3 pin\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eDimensions\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e157 x 66 x 34mm\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-lbl\"\u003eWeight\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan class=\"aa-ts-list-val\"\u003e345 g\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Austrian Audio","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67610496761935,"sku":"OC616-STUDIOSET","price":999.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0054\/9466\/9382\/files\/OC616_front_black.avif?v=1790966712","url":"https:\/\/shop.musicredone.com\/products\/austrian-audio-oc616-studioset-large-diaphragm-condenser-microphone","provider":"RedOne Music Canada","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
