How to Operate the OC : 818
The OC818 requires phantom power, so please make sure that you are supplying it according to P48
(48V +/- 4V). Peak current consumption is below 4 mA (OC818 with OCR8 connected). Almost all
state- -the-art professional mixing consoles, preamps and audio interfaces provide enough power, of
however some battery driven, or older devices may fail to do so!
Setting up the OC818:
For optimum performance, do not cover the grill of the OC818, and always ensure a secure fit in the
OCH8 (holder) or OCS8 (suspension).
Always place your sound source to face our beautiful logo!
If you record in figure-8, then you can also use the rear side. Or if you record in Omnidirectional, then
it does not matter at all. Or if you pick up a Leslie cabinet and are experimenting with the phase-
shifting-effects. But otherwise: Please face the logo!
Adjusting the Polar Pattern:
The OC818 provides 4 default directional characteristics: figure-8, supercardioid, cardioid and
omnidirectional. The 5th setting ( ) • is called “ ”. If you own an OCR8 Bluetooth dongle Preset Mode
you can program your custom pattern to this position. Factory setting (before you change the
pattern by an OCR8) for this position is broad-cardioid without High Pass Filter and Pad Switch –
those are inactive in Preset Mode.
Switch the polar pattern selector to the desired pattern. Please note that the microphone needs a
few seconds to adapt to the new pattern, especially if you switch all the way from figure-8 (left) to
omni (right) or vice versa (this gives any sluggish electrons time to catch up).
High Pass Filter:
The high pass filter is a powerful tool to reduce unwanted low frequencies, like stage noise, handling,
or your Uncle Albert’s singing.
'' ''0 means not active
'' ''40 is a high pass 2nd order filter at 40 Hz
'' ''80 is a high pass 2nd order filter at 80 Hz
'' ''160 is a high pass 1st order filter from 160 Hz to 80 Hz, and a high pass 2
nd order filter below 80 Hz.
Pad Switch:
The Pad switch reduces the sensitivity of the microphone and prevents overloading the microphone
in loud environments.
'' ''0 means not active
'' ''-10 means that the microphone is 10 dB less sensitive
'' ''-20 means that the microphone is 20 dB less sensitive
'' ''-30 means you may need to see an optician, as there is no “ 30” position.-
Note: The -10dB position reduces the bias voltage of the capsule, so the microphone can take 10dB
more input (I am looking at you there, trombone jockey), whereas the -20db Setting reduces the gain
by another 10 dB to protect your mixer preamp from overload.
Dual Mode and PolarDesigner:
The second output on the rear side of the microphone can deliver the signal of the back membrane,
while you get the front capsule from the regular XLR plug.
Just plug in the OCC8 mini XLR cable supplied with your OC818, and
set the polar pattern switch to the position showing the 2 cardioids.
The OC818 will now work in dual mode, with both capsule
membranes being transmitted independently.
In dual mode, you may record the two signals to two tracks and use our PolarDesigner plugin later to
modify the polar pattern in post-production. Polardesigner lets you even choose the polar pattern for
up to five different frequency bands.
Note: Make sure phantom power (P48) is provided to the main (3-pin) XLR output also in dual mode.
The second (rear) output can be operated with or without feeding phantom power.
How to Operate the OCR8 (sold separately):
The OCR8 connects your OC818 microphone to your smart device (Smartphone or
Tablet) via Bluetooth .

device must support BLE (Bluetooth Low Energy also called Bluetooth LE Bluetooth Smart). or
Current mobile devices are commonly released with hardware and software for Bluetooth Low
Energy, and almost all devices running these operating systems will be compatible.
As the App is using Bluetooth, please ensure that Bluetooth is switched on. Some devices may ask

Switch the pattern selector to ''•'' (= Preset Mode - all the
way to the right)
Power (to) the OCR8
The OCR8 is powered by the phantom power from the OC818, so please make
sure that you are supplying the OC818 according to P48 (48V +/- 4V).
You may either connect the OC818 to phantom power first, or plug the OCR8
into the OC818 first. Once you have completed both steps, the OCR8 will
automatically switch into pairing mode and the blue LED will flash fast. Now “ ”
it is time to open the Austrian Audio App.
