Austrian Audio OC818 Dual Set Go Black

The Dual Set Go pairs two OC818 units, factory-matched within 1 dB and interchangeable with each other as well as with an OC18 in cardioid mode. Unlike the Studio Set or Dual Set Plus, this bundle skips the shockmounts and pop filters in favor of a compact, lightweight package — two mics, two OCC8 cables for dual-output mode, two OCH8 clips, two windscreens, and a vinyl carrying case, ready to grab and load for a tour or a remote recording session.

A stereo pair without unnecessary gear bulk

A common problem for an engineer working on location: a full studio kit with ball-joint shockmounts and metal pop filters takes up significant luggage space, and for instrumental recording or drum overheads that hardware often isn't needed anyway. The Dual Set Go delivers the exact same CKR12 capsule sound as the pricier bundles, but in a package optimized for weight and volume — the pair with essential accessories fits in one compact case.

Dual-output mode as a flexible mixing tool on the road

When recording on tour, it's hard to know in advance which polar pattern will work best in a given room or on a given stage. The included OCC8 cables let both mics run in dual-output mode simultaneously, capturing the front and rear diaphragm separately — the pattern can be shaped later in PolarDesigner, without needing to predict acoustic conditions ahead of time or carrying backup gear in case of a wrong call.
