AUSTRIAN AUDIO OC-B6

world's first large-diaphragm condenser microphone designed specifically for kick drums. Handcrafted in Vienna and built to
withstand brutal sound pressure levels of over 170 dB, the OC-B6 captures the full power of the kick drum with absolute
clarity and no compromises. No pre-EQ. No hype. No distortion. Just pure, unfiltered kick drum sound, from deep vintage boom to crisp modern attack. With condenser detail where no other has dared before. The OC-B6 delivers consistent, uncompromised sound from any classic kick drum microphone position: inside, right on the port, or outside the kick drum. Its 220° swivel head allows for quick and precise placement, even in tight setups, while its ultra-compact and robust design offers flawless performance both on stage and in the studio. Its discrete electronics offer ultra-fast transient response and extreme dynamic range: no chips, no bottlenecks, no information loss. A precisely tuned 25 Hz subsonic filter eliminates inaudible thumping and infrasound, preserving headroom where it matters most. The integrated stand thread completely eliminates clipping, allowing for a faster, cleaner, and more reliable setup, night after night. At the heart of the OC-B6 is the CKR6-B, a specially developed 1" true condenser large-diaphragm capsule, derived from Austrian Audio's ceramic capsule technology and redesigned for extreme SPL. By doubling the distance between the diaphragm and the electrode and reducing the resonant frequency, the CKR6-B achieves virtually unlimited headroom, while subtly shaping the bass response for perfect kick drum sound. The result: a condenser capsule that remains clean, stable, and musical
