Austrian Audio Introduces OC-S10 Dual-Output Studio Microphone

Fresh from the announcement of the DPA acquisition, Austrian Audio celebrated NAMM 2025 with the introduction of its new flagship product, intended to redefine what a studio recording microphone can do in this century. The new OC-S10 Reference Recording Microphone takes the company’s first condenser microphones to a new level, not only allowing complete control over the polar pattern and capture characteristics, but also allowing manipulation of the response via a unique dual output of the front and rear membranes.

Austrian Audio announced availability of the OC818 Dual Set Plus, a new kit centered on two of its OC818 large capsule condenser microphones complemented with a host of accessories. The OC818 Dual Set Plus is an ideal solution for stereo recordings, particularly given the unique ability of these microphones to be configured remotely, with users being able to wirelessly control polar patterns and customize all the microphones settings. As an introductory Austrian Audio is offering a free OCR8 Bluetooth dongle with every Dual Set Plus purchase.

Following the company's first public presentation at Prolight+Sound in Frankfurt, Germany, in April 2019, Austrian Audio's first product, the OC818 large diaphragm microphone, was displayed for the first time at the AES NY show courtesy of Cranborne Audio. The new OC818 not only features multiple polar patterns, but also offers innovative remote control possibilities, using the same CKR12 ceramic capsule as the OC18 microphone, which is a fixed cardioid version.
