Sound On Sound have recently reviewed the new OC16 Condenser Microphone from Austrian Audio for their July 2022 issue, providing a glowing review of its capabilities and being particularly impressed at the affordability of such a high quality product.
"A superb all‑round studio mic at an extremely competitive price!"
"The OC16 is a fine vocal mic, while its high SPL handling means it also excels on general studio duties. On a whim, for example, I put it up as a front‑of‑kick mic on a drum kit. Not only did it handle the transient peaks without sweating, but it also captured plenty of low‑end punch, while spill from snare and cymbals sounded great."
The conclusion reads, "All in all, this is a hugely impressive product. Yes, you can buy even more affordable large‑diaphragm capacitor mics — but how many of them have a European‑made capsule, let alone one with this heritage or quality level? This is a mic that holds its own against rivals costing many times the price, and if I was looking for an affordable yet top‑notch mic for a home or project studio, it’d be right at the head of my shortlist."
The full review of the Austrian Audio OC16 can be found in the July 2022 issue of Sound On Sound, as well as here.
