The Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set Plus is a matched pair of large-diaphragm multi-pattern condenser microphones from a team of former AKG engineers. Each mic uses a hand-made CKR12 ceramic capsule and offers continuously variable polar patterns, plus a second output for recording the rear capsule separately. The set includes two mics, shock mounts, and a stereo bar. Reviewers praise the OC818's natural, detailed sound and its flexibility, especially the dual-output mode that allows changing the polar pattern after recording. It competes with other high-end multi-pattern condensers but offers unique digital pattern control via an optional app.

Reviewers and owners consistently praise the OC818 for its natural, detailed sound and exceptional versatility. The dual-output design and variable polar patterns are standout features, though some note the need for extra gear to fully utilize them. Build quality is considered excellent, but the microphones are relatively heavy.
